Safe & Healthy Environment
The safety and health of our campers is of utmost importance. For the last 85 years, Camp Wawona has succeeded in providing a safe, clean and healthy environment for all ages. Prior to the start of camp, all Summer Camp Staff are trained by the American Red Cross in CPR and First AID and receive instruction on recreation and aquatic safety, health and nutrition, risk management, camp management systems, and youth guidance. This ensures that Camp Wawona is able to provide an unbeatably safe and fun camp experience.
