Summer camps are a place where children and teenagers can explore their interests, make new friends, and create lifelong memories. However, they can also be a place where sexual assaults occur. While summer camp sexual assaults are not new, they are receiving increased attention as survivors share their stories and demand accountability from camp administrators. The effects of child sexual abuse can be long-lasting and significantly impact victims’ mental health. Victims are more likely to develop symptoms of drug abuse, experience PTSD as adults, and experience major depressive episodes as adults [2]. The prevalence of sexual violence in summer camps is a serious concern that demands immediate attention and action.
