Protecting Our Campers
Camper safety is of the utmost importance to the staff at Luther Point Bible Camp. We take every step we can to ensure the safety of everyone who attends camp here. The staff of Luther Point Bible Camp recognize that certain hazards and dangers are inherent in LPBC events and programs and has taken safety measures to minimize the risk of injury
Our Safety Measures Include:
Staff Training
All summer staff are required to attend two weeks of staff training before interacting with campers. During staff training we learn about the many risks of camp and how to manage those risks. Staff are also trained in boundaries when interacting with campers, how to identify the warning signs of abuse and how to report those signs appropriately. Our staff go through intensive training on how to react to and manage all forms of emergencies. All staff are trained in what to do in case of a stranger on camp, fire, severe weather or any other emergency that may come.
Hiring our Staff
The staff at Luther Point Bible Camp go through a rigorous hiring and training process. All staff must annually complete an application for employment, conduct an interview, have references checked, and pass a local, state, and federal background check before being hired. We take the safety of all our guests very seriously and ensure all staff are prepared to work with campers.
Emergency Procedures
We receive emergency alerts from Burnett County and many other sources. One of the most likely emergencies in our area is the chance of severe weather. As a camp, we are blessed to have one of the safest buildings in the area for severe weather, Shalom, where our office is located, along with many other safe and secure locations around the camp. In the case of severe weather we always err on the side of caution and bring our campers into the storm shelter and communicate via our Facebook page on our plans and status. If you are ever wary of weather systems in our area please call the office.
Medical Emergencies
Our highest priority is always our campers' health and safety. We follow the best practices set out by CDC guidelines as well as all health laws and codes of Wisconsin. All of our staff are trained in CPR and First Aid. We have a camp medic on duty 24 hours a day, a Nurse Practitioner on staff, and follow our standing Physician’s orders. If there is an illness or emergency we will always contact the camper’s parents or guardians. In the case medical care needs to be sought we bring campers to Burnett Medical Center in Grantsburg.
