What Would You Do? Responding to Peer-to-Peer Abuse at Camp

Every camp season brings complex moments that test your judgment and compassion. When campers cross physical or emotional boundaries with one another, how do you know what counts as peer-to-peer abuse-and when to report it? This interactive, scenario-based workshop will help you recognize when behavior crosses the line, determine appropriate follow-up and reporting, and navigate the difficult conversations that follow.

Together, we’ll explore what behavioral health supports may be needed, when sending a camper home is appropriate, and how to communicate transparently and effectively with parents, staff, and other stakeholders. Through realistic camp-based case studies, participants will practice making tough calls and develop strategies for supporting both victims and alleged perpetrators while maintaining trust and safety across your camp community.
