Summer Camp Insurance Question and Answer Forum

Q: I own a sleep-away camp. What type of liability limits does the insurance industry advise?

A: We strongly recommend high liability limits.

Q: Besides the standard insurance for summer camps, what else should I consider?

A: You should determine if it is worthwhile to get coverage for camp tuition costs, extra expense and theft expense. Medical expense, accident and tuition reimbursement insurance is offered to recompense for medical expenses sustained as a result of illness, accident or death – or in the event of one or more campers that decide to withdraw from camp due to an epidemic outbreak, flood or other stipulated motive.

Q: Anything else to think about?

A: It’s wise for any summer camp management to include abuse and molestation coverage.

Q: Are all summer camp recreational activities included in general coverage?

A: Good question! Although the insurance industry itemizes several specified activities, some may be excluded. If you need special coverage for those that are not listed, your agent should be able to locate coverage that will protect you from the related risk exposure.
