The most often missed mandatory standard
was HR 4A - Staff Screening. Twenty-five
(25) camps missed this standard and needed
to complete the Immediate Corrective Action
(ICA) process. The mandatory portion of this
standard requires camps to check all staff – paid,
volunteer, and contracted against the National
Sex Offender Public Registry (NSOPR) and
to have a signed Voluntary Disclosure statement
from these same staff. This was most
often missed because camp staff did not understand
that checking their local or state sex offender
public registries did not suffice to meet
this standard. Sometimes this was missed
because a camp did not have voluntary disclosure
statements from the staff.
Coming in second was PA-21 - Watercraft
Rescue Skills. This continues to be a common
missed mandatory. Staff at nineteen
camps either neglected to document the skills
verification or totally skipped this standard
because they thought the lifeguard certifications
converted to demonstrated skills and proficiency.
Sixteen camps missed HW-2 - Health Histories.
Typically a staff person at the camp overlooked
a component required on the form. Occasionally,
an overzealous visitor acted more like an
auditor resulting in non-compliance.
Much like PA-21 above, PA-15 - Swim Lifeguard
Skills is in the top five missed mandatory
standards category. Thirteen camps
missed this standard.
Six camps missed PC-15 - Protective Headgear.
With some confusion due to late released
interpretations six camps didn’t realize
the applicability to their adventure challenge
program.
