2005 Risk Management Document

 

In 1997, we of the Georgetown College Summer Programs & Camps Team developed our first Risk Management Document to indicate the steps and efforts that we take to protect the safety and security of our summer guests. This document represents the efforts of our 2005 SP&C Team to further refine and define our efforts to be fully cognizant of the very important area of risk management and institutional liability. Persons representing several campus departments and areas, most notably Maintenance, Grounds, Safety & Security, Building Services, and Dining Services [SodexhoUSA] are on the “front-line” with members of our SP&C Team as we work to ensure the safety & security of all of our summer campers and guests.

 

I. Basic Tenets

 

A.  Risk Avoidance

    [avoid activities and/or events that involve a high degree of risk]

B. Hazard Reduction

    [reduction and/or elimination of conditions that might cause or lead to "risk"]

C. Risk Retention

    [upon careful consideration, retain “risk” that may be managed at an acceptable level]

D. Risk Transfer

    [when and where possible, “shift” risk and/or liability to other parties]

 

II. Nature of Camps

The nature of our summer programs and camp offerings falls into two categories: internal or external. The designation internal is used to describe programs or camps that are sponsored by college faculty and/or staff. External programs and camps are those for which the college serves as a lessor/licensor in a "tolerant" relationship providing specific services (i.e. housing, food, facilities, etc.).

These pre-camp documents are mailed to each camp coordinator or their designee with the contract being signed and returned to the Summer Programs & Camps Office at Georgetown College.  The eighth term of the contract indicates the client's agreement to adhere to all guidelines, policies, and procedures of Georgetown College and Summer Programs & Camps Team.  The twelfth term of the contract fully indemnifies the College and its agents. The CampPac ~ Short Form is designed to fully describe the policies, procedures, and guidelines for camp operations; the issue of “risk management” is well-outlined in this document. 

 

C. SP&C Web

The Summer Programs & Camps web, which was designed and implemented in 2001, has proven extremely popular and helpful to our camp clients, participants, and families. The web provides a plethora of information regarding all facets of our camp operations. This easily accessible format has enabled us to provide, for a much wider audience, important guidelines, expectations and information regarding Summer Programs & Camps at Georgetown College. Additionally, many of our major clients have "linked" our SP&C web to their own webs for the convenience of their participants. The SP&C Web may be viewed at …..

http://summercamps.georgetowncollege.edu

 

D. LG&H [Lighting Grounds & Hazards] Check

The LG&H is performed annually by the SP&C Team approximately one month prior to the beginning of the camping season. During this time [always in the evening] the SP&C Team looks for possible “issues” which need to be addressed prior to the arrival of the first campers. This information is then forwarded to the appropriate operational personnel and/or units.

Addendum

National Crisis Emergency Response Plans

 

Although situations of national emergency are rare, they are a reality and, unfortunately, an ambiguous certainty. The events of September 11th, 2001, prompted, during the Summer of 2002,  units such as our Summer Programs & Camps Team at Georgetown College  to create action plans for times of national crisis.  Additionally, the SARS concern during the Summer of 2003 held and does hold implications for any camping or conferencing program that involves many guests from around the country – and in some cases – around the world. The members of our Georgetown College SP&C Team have evaluated our preparedness for scenarios such as these and have established an emergency crisis response system,  that will hopefully serve our clients and guests well.  Although we do not anticipate such an emergency during the Summer of 2005, we do strive to be of service and prepared in all situations. There follows plans that we had in place during the camping seasons of 2002 and 2003 regarding the aforementioned emergencies. We shall have these plans on “hold” and ready for implementation – if ever needed or necessary.

 

A. Dissemination of Information:

1. as soon as possible, the SP&C personnel will appropriately brief clients with the known facts surrounding the national emergency

 

2. following the initial briefing, clients will be informed of the numerous emergency services available:

 

a. the Cralle Student Center's Hall of Fame Room will become an emergency phone-bank (if possible) housing approximately ten phone lines to allow our guests to contact their families and loved-ones in order to inquire about their safety and/or to merely find psychological solace amidst tragedy

 

b. the Asher Science Center's computer lab will be opened (if possible) to allow our guests to gain needed internet access for various reasons (e.g. email communication, up-to-date news, financial account access, etc.)

 

c. the common areas (i.e. the Grille, the Dining Hall) will be opened with television access

 

3. should our clients necessitate an area in which to brief their own respective participants, the SP&C personnel will be more than willing to facilitate for such needs

 

B. Pertinent Emergency Signage Shall Be Posted:

1. signs will be placed in dormitory lobbies reminding campers of the emergency services available and the directions to the said facilities

 

2. signs will be posted outside and along the grounds, to aid in giving directions to the established emergency facilities

 

C. Early check-out procedures and materials will be ready for parents/guardians wishing to remove their respective campers

 

D. If airport and/or ground transportation services are interrupted, rooms will be provided for those delayed in returning home

 

E. SARS [Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome] or other Infectious Disease Response Plan

1. all clients/camp coordinators shall be personally contacted by the Director and asked to provide a list of any campers or staff members for their camps – who are either from a "target" country – or have visited a "target" country in the four weeks preceding their arrival on campus.  Example ….. during the summer of 2003 “target areas” for SARS [areas with documented or suspected community transmission] included:  Peoples' Republic of China (i.e., Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region); Hanoi, Vietnam; Singapore; Toronto, Canada and Taiwan. Information of this nature can change rapidly, however, and it is recommended that all clients/camp coordinators check the CDC [aka Center for Disease Control] web periodically for updates regarding these travel areas:  http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/sars/. A similar plan would be followed regarding any other infectious disease threat.

 

2. the Director shall meet with any campers or camp staff members who have been so designated and he shall explain that for the good of the many – their overall health condition shall be watched/monitored while on campus

 

3. if any flu or flu-like symptoms [fever, headache, runny nose, cough, an overall feeling of discomfort, body aches, etc.] is noticed in these designated campers or staff members - they shall be immediately isolated and taken to the Georgetown Community Hospital – by their Camp Coordinator

 

4. if a camper or camp staff member is taken to the hospital, the Director will immediately contact; the client/camp coordinator, the designated legal guardian for the camper and/or next of kin for the camp staff member

 

5. additionally, the Director shall immediately inform the head of campus safety/security, as well as the CDC in Atlanta for further advice and necessary policies and procedures that need to be followed

 

6. concern about SARS provides an opportunity to educate camp attendees and staff about general infection control guidelines.  Practicing good hygiene can prevent the transmission of many infectious diseases.  It will be recommended that campers and camp staff members:

 

        - Wash hands frequently, especially after blowing one's nose, coughing or sneezing

        - Cover nose and mouth with tissue when coughing or sneezing

        - Avoid sharing drinking and/or eating utensils

       

While certainly not wanting to be alarmists – we also want to be good stewards of our college and community, as well as good hosts for our clients and guests. Our goal is to provide the best, possible camping experience for all – while being mindful of the additional challenges and responsibilities represented by infectious diseases such as SARS or other similar entities.

 

We consider it a privilege for Georgetown College to serve as host to several thousand guests each summer and we consider it a pleasure to serve the needs of each camper.  The benefits of a large-scale summer camp program to a liberal arts institution such as Georgetown are well documented; increased vitality, visibility, recruiting potential and revenues are but few of the advantages.

 

It is the continuing goal of our Summer Programs and Camps Team to maintain high standards of safety and security for each guest and fully protect the interests of the College.
