Safety First at Camp Quinebarge: Our Commitment to Your Camper
At Camp Quinebarge, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s our number one value. We understand that when parents entrust us with their children, they expect a safe, supportive, and fun environment. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure that every camper is well cared for, both physically and emotionally.
Rigorous Staff Training and Certifications
Our staff members are the backbone of our safety efforts, and we make sure they are fully prepared before campers even arrive. Every year, our team undergoes 10 days of intensive training, covering all aspects of camper care, emergency procedures, and risk management.
Our staff members receive specialized training, including:
- Child and Adult First Aid, CPR & AED from the American Red Cross (All Cabin staff)
- Waterfront Lifeguarding from the American Red Cross (All Waterfront staff)
- Wilderness First Aid from Solo (All Trips staff)
- Ropes Training from WingsSpeed Adventures (All Sports & Adventure Staff)
- US Archery Instructor training (All Sports & Adventure Staff)
Additionally, all staff participate in behavioral management training and child protection education to ensure that they are equipped to handle any situation with professionalism and care.
Supporting Camper Mental Health with CampWell Training
At Camp Quinebarge, we recognize that emotional well-being is just as important as physical safety. That’s why we implement CampWell training, a program designed to help our staff support campers’ mental health. This initiative ensures that our counselors are trained to:
- Recognize signs of stress, anxiety, or homesickness
- Create an inclusive and supportive environment
- Encourage positive peer interactions
- Provide tools for conflict resolution and emotional regulation
By prioritizing mental health, we ensure that campers feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their time at Quinebarge.

Safety at Camp Quinebarge extends beyond training and certifications. We have strict safety protocols in place for all activities, including waterfront supervision, adventure sports, and cabin life. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to maintain the highest standards so that every camper can have an unforgettable summer filled with adventure, learning, and growth.
When you choose Camp Quinebarge, you’re choosing a camp that puts safety first—because nothing is more important than your child’s well-being. We can’t wait to welcome your camper to a safe, fun-filled summer with us!
