Kidventure Staff must complete a sexual abuse prevention course before camp. We have two options and multiple dates you can choose from. IMPORTANT: Specific sites must take specific training. The two courses are Safe Haven OR Safeguarding. This course MUST be taken every two years. This year all sites EXCEPT for Ascension, Holy Spirit, and Nottingham will complete Safe Haven. Ascension, Holy Spirit, and Nottingham will complete Safeguarding. Please confirm with Camden(camden@kidventure.com) if you are unsure which class to take.

This MUST be completed before the start of your camp location. If you cannot complete this course by the deadline your position with Kidventure will be rescinded. Each course has TWO PARTS, an online portion, and an in-person portion. The online portion must be completed before showing up to the in-person portion. The class is not complete until both elements are completed.
