Our Commitment to 
Safe Facilities

At Westminster Woods Camp, we believe that creating a Christ-Centered space begins with safe policies and practices. This provides a safe and welcoming environment where campers and guests can focus on growing their faith in a fun atmosphere. 

 Westminster Woods Housing Safety Policy:

  • All housing for campers will be situated in a designated central area within the campgrounds. This area will be easily accessible from common facilities such as dining hall, chapel, and camp office. 

  • No camper housing will be placed in isolated locations that are far from the central camp community.

  • All camp areas will be regularly monitored by Camp Staff to ensure the safety of all.

  • Emergency response personnel must be able to reach all parts of the centralized housing area quickly in case of an emergency.
