Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation awarded the Darkness to Light Partner in Prevention distinction for 2014-2015 by Chaucie’s Place This is a prestigious certification showing CCPR’s commitment to keeping the children they serve safe and healthy.

The guidelines for distinction include CCPR meeting the following criteria: • • • • •

At least 90% of employees have went through the Stewards of Children training Trained new employees in a timely manner Maintained record of training to ensure staff renews training every 3 years Completed background checks on all employees prior to employment Ensured that one adult-one child situations are in settings that are observable and interruptible

The Darkness to Light Partner in Prevention distinction shows parents/guardians, school personnel and the community that the organization is dedicated to fostering an environment that better protects children from sexual abuse. CCPR is committed to prevention through training and having implemented appropriate policies designed to deter potential perpetrators. Staff training increases awareness and teaches how to recognize opportunities for abuse to occur as well as help recognize when abuse has occurred. Staff is also trained on how to react if they recognize signs of abuse or if a child discloses abuse.

5-9 YEARS

Welcome to our funtastic camp just for 5-9 year olds! We will focus on having kids being kids and having as much fun as they possibly can. Campers and parents are greeted each morning with a welcoming smile. The camp will start every day with morning color groups, which are divided by age and personalities, so the campers get to know each other and their awesome camp leaders.

Each day is filled with fun and exciting games and activities for the campers. Each day before the end-of-day activities, camp leaders nominate “Campers of the Day” for each color group. Campers receive their certificate in front of their peers and are one step closer to having their name placed on the VIP camper wall. At Play On-West, we strive to keep parents in the know with letters from the campers at least a few times each week, as well as our information wall located near the parent table.

Campers are responsible for bringing their own sack lunch and snack. Campers must be able to take care of their respective restroom needs.

“It is like winning the Super Bowl of the parks world.”

“These achievements are both impressive accomplishments in their own right. The Gold Medal Award is the benchmark by which all agencies wish to be measured – it is like winning the Super Bowl of the parks world,” says Michael Klitzing, Chief Operating Officer for Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation. “Receiving the CAPRA Accreditation is the culmination of months of dedication by our staff to document our policies and procedures to meet the required stringent standards.

Less than 120 parks in the United States hold this accreditation and only three in Indiana.”
