In operating a quality program, effective risk management includes the critical task of managing the risk of loss to both campers and the camp organization itself. In that regard, the court opinions can provide camps with valuable insights. Understanding Your Legal Duty of Care reviews what the courts are saying about a camp's duty of care, inherent risks, and the validity of liability releases. The primary focus of the DVD is on the legal duty of care owed by a camp and its staff to campers and their parents-perceived, announced, and standards.
