🛡️Safety Policy

• • Kidventure is a licensed Youth Camps Program under the Texas Department of State Health Services and undergoes annual inspection.
• • All staff are adults (18+), CPR/First Aid certified (Infant, Child, Adult), complete state-approved Sexual Abuse Prevention courses, and undergo yearly criminal background and sex offender registry checks.
• • Camper to counselor ratios: Discoverers 1:6, Explorers 1:12, Leads 1:12.
• • Swimming safety protocols include weekly swim tests, wristbands for pool access (color-coded for full/shallow zones), mandatory life jackets for Explorers in wave pools (Leads as needed/requested), and additional lifeguards.
• • Field trip safety protocols: Campers travel on full-size buses (most with restrooms and seatbelts). Staff maintain a 1:12 counselor-to-camper ratio with counselors at the front and back of lines. Headcounts are performed before departure and upon arrival. Trips are organized with rotations, and campers must stay with their assigned group.
• • Water park procedures include a designated 'home base' pavilion, group rules review, counselor-defined boundaries in wave pools (typically not exceeding 3ft depth), specific guidelines for water structures (e.g., 12-inch water depth, no laying down), and scheduled breaks for restrooms, water, and sunscreen re-application.
• • Kidventure operates a technology-free campus; all cell phones and other electronics must be kept off and put away (preferably left at home). Smartwatches are permitted only for time-checking and passive fitness tracking. Kidventure is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
• • Kidventure camp shirts (Explorer shirts are Red) are required daily for off-site activities (Explorers and Leads) for quick identification and safety. A red T-shirt is an acceptable alternative for field trips if a Kidventure shirt is not available.
• • All medications must be in their original containers and match the information on the medical dosage form, which must be completed and handed to a staff member at drop-off (not left in child's bag).
• • Special needs campers are welcomed as long as staff can maintain safety for the child and others, and the experience is positive. Parents are encouraged to communicate openly and share strategies used at home/school. Contact the city office to discuss specific needs.
• • Immunization records are required for each camper, or a signed exemption affidavit must be provided.
