All Background Checks are NOT alike!
Can you assume applicant information to be truthful? What are the risks?

ACAWE is proud to announce a Criminal Background/Sexual Offender investigative program, created specifically for the Summer Camp industry, which will help to keep you in compliance with the ACA regulations and is both affordable and comprehensive.

Camps are particularly vulnerable to predators so it is absolutely essential that YOUR CAMP have a screening tool that allows you to weed out individuals who have a history of behaviors that present a potential danger to your campers.

Did you know that you could be liable if a member of your camp staff commits a crime or sexual offense in your camp? The average settlement in negligent hiring cases is now $1.6 million dollars. Conducting a Criminal Background/Sexual Offender check is one of the most important actions that youth camps can take to help protect their campers from abuse and the camp against negligent actions.

ACAWE will provide you with information on staff members* and will inform you if there is a record of a criminal conviction or sexual offense.

Using the best available information, ACAWE can give you the information you need to do your due diligence in employee selection.

ACAWE's basic fees:

• Only $17.95 per individual criminal background/sexual offender check.
• 48 hour turn-around.
• Can be pro rated to reflect discounts on more than 100 background/sexual offender checks per camp.
• ACAWE’s participants in the International Staffing Program receive additional discounts on this Program.

ACAWE's additional optional services include:

• Advice on meeting appropriate standards for drivers, senior employees and other staff positions at a very affordable cost for various levels of background checks.
• Services can be as comprehensive as you deem necessary, including the availability of on-site Substance Abuse, Drug and Alcohol Testing (for summer 2007 this service is restricted to NY, PA, NJ, NH ME and MA).

Protect yourself and your campers by obtaining a Criminal Background/Sexual Offender check on all staff members annually, regardless of their position or the number of years they have been involved in the camp.
