Safety and Security
Parents will rest assured knowing that they measure camp effectiveness and success based on 4 critical factors:
- Risk management
- Happy campers
- Personalized attention
- Mixing traditional camp activities with visionary technology education
They are serious about learning too. That’s why they keep class sizes to an average of 8 or fewer students per instructor. This assures you that your child gets individualized attention for the greatest opportunity to learn and excel.
ACA Guidelines
iD Tech Camps meet and surpass many of the requirements set by The American Camp Association (ACA), which is a leading authority in camps and child development. ACA ensures camper safety, quality staff, healthy learning environments, and excellence. And camps are accredited at various locations.
Safety is further ensured by strict rules at the camps. Adult staff supervise ALL summer camp classes, activities, dining, and boarding. Parents or guardians of commuting students will be asked to sign their students out each day and provide staff with a “code word” as well.
They use industry-leading Internet safety programs to ensure students do not access inappropriate sites.
