We are constantly attentive to your child’s physical and emotional well being:

• We have rules of conduct and special equipment to help keep our events safe.
• We provide campers with an “Overload” word that allows them to exit an adventure if it’s too scary.
• We offer adventures that are rated for different levels of “scariness” so that campers who are frightened easily can opt to attend a less intense interaction.
• During sparring sessions there is an assigned Safety Marshall who does not participate in the sparring.
• We make sure that campers understand that this is all just pretend; in reality, our monsters are people too!
• Our staff are trained in safe conduct and assessment as well as emergency response.  ALL of our counselors and instructors are certified in CPR and First Aid – not just our medical staff.
• Our counselor are on handheld radios – which helps with the logistics of the story, but are also useful in case an urgent matter needs support.

As mentioned in the Philosophy/Mission/History section, safety is the first rule of assessment in our 3RO. However, it deserves its own heading and details.  It is an aspect of all of our camps, classes, and events.

Even though our safety record is impressive, we train for and try to consider the unknown. Since our camp and company is owned and run by parents whose own children attend, safety is part of our regular assessment for each activity.

Our camps and events are filled with physical interactions.  We have both indoor and outdoor excursions where kids run and play like healthy, active kids should do.  As such, we cannot guarantee that a child will not experience risks associated with physical contact activities in a dynamic environment.   Trips and falls do happen.  Excited kids sometimes don’t look where they are running.  An accidental hard hit with a foam sword can be scary.

This is not like sitting in a living room, playing a computer game.  There are risks.  But we can insure you that your child will also be at a higher risk for having serious fun… and an increased chance of burning calories, learning important skills, and making friends of the real kind instead of the virtual kind.

We are parents.  We want to protect our kids.  But we also want them to experience more than a virtual life…  and feel the excitement of real adventure.  We hope you feel the same way too.
