Staff

All CELP Staff are certified Red Cross Life Guards and trained in First Aid/CPR

CELP Staff carry:

a radio with them at all times to stay connected to the CELP Office and local Emergency Services

and receive on-going role development throughout the season to provide safe, engaging, and organized activities for students.

We emphasize safety and wellness above all else.

Wellness

In case of an emergency, we have access to Emergency Medical Services through the Baywatch unit stationed at Two Harbors, which is about fifteen minutes away by boat. We also have the capability to airlift a severely ill and/or injured child out of camp via helicopter.

Covid-19 Precautions & Protocols

We do not require proof of testing prior to arrival to CELP. We highly recommend using an at-home rapid antigen test the day before or day of camp attendance. Guests will be tested for COVID-19 if they have signs or symptoms of illness. Any guest testing positive for COVID-19 will need to return home. Current guidance from the LA County Department of Public Health requires a five-day isolation period, which we are not able to support at camp.
