Words such as “healing,” “reset,” and “transformation” can create expectations beyond a recreational program. Use language that describes what you actually provide.
You may offer quiet time, gentle movement within qualified scope, creative practice, or supportive social space. Do not claim these will cure a condition or replace treatment.
If a licensed professional provides a clinical service, define it separately with appropriate consent, records, qualifications, and legal review. Do not assume the whole camp becomes clinical because one therapist gives a talk.
Ask facilitators not to diagnose guests, recommend stopping prescribed treatment, or pressure people to disclose trauma. A campfire discussion is not a substitute for proper care.
Prepare a response for someone in significant distress. Identify the trained lead, local urgent-help routes, privacy arrangements, and how the rest of the group is supported. Staff should not promise absolute confidentiality when immediate safety duties apply.
Avoid using a guest's emotional moment as promotional material. Even a signed broad photo form does not make every private situation appropriate to publish.
Your task: Review every health or wellness claim and replace vague promises with concrete, supportable descriptions.
