CQRP and the Quality 8
YMCA Resident Camps of Ontario (14 in total) have developed a set of ‘Camp Quality Recommended Practices’ (CQRP) to guide how we operate as YMCA camps.
The practices cover areas such as: Camper Care, Customer Service, Program, Marketing and Promotion, Human Resources, Asset Management, Alumni and Financial Development, Camp Services and Management Practices.
Through the research of campers, staff and parents, eight major expectations (the Quality 8) of YMCA camp participants were developed that became the major principles upon which all CQRP’s were based.
You said camp needed to be:
- Fun
- Safe
- A place of friendships
- A place of caring, belonging and responsibility
- Where campers learn and are challenged
- Where campers treasure the natural world
- A place that meets personal life needs
- A place to return to
All of this helps guide Wanakita to be the best it can be now and in the future.
