Privacy Policy

YOUR PRIVACY HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPORTANT TO US!

Camp Walden, has always respected the privacy of our clients, their families and campers, our staff and the information we have on hand that has been provided. At Camp Walden, we will continue to be vigilant in the future; however, it is essential according to the Legislation that we inform you about our Privacy Policy.  In order to meet the needs of our campers and have the ability to care for them we must collect personal information about them and their families. We do so in our application and other forms.  All of the information gathered is stored in our files which are secured in our locked offices and processed in a secure database with access controls.  The information is given to those staff who are directly involved in providing a service to your camper, or as required by law.  When information is given to a service provider (a company or individual such as the Bus Company) employed by Camp Walden, we have made certain that the service provider and its employees have a Privacy Policy that prevents them from using the information for any purpose other than that for which they were hired.  Besides the care and transportation of your camper and our ability to communicate with you and your family, we do use the information on hand for statistical analysis for our camp, and to develop programs required for the future.  We do retain your information to enable us to communicate with you in the future, provide your camper with recognition for time spent at camp, provide you with information about our programs, and inform you of new and exciting information that may be of interest to you.  From time to time, we do release your camper’s name and contact information to another camp family who wishes to use it for the purposes of inviting your camper to a social occasion.  Should you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy we urge you to contact Larry Bell, our Privacy Officer at our offices.  By this date, you have already entrusted us with a large amount of personal information about your family and your camper and you will be asked to complete the enclosed forms or those that will be sent to you during the summer. Unless you have a concern and contact Larry Bell, Camp Walden will assume that you understand that we can collect, use, disclose as necessary and store information as set out in our Privacy Policy above.  If you do not accept our Privacy Policy and decline to allow us to use your personal information or that of your camper, Camp Walden may not be able to provide the care and services to make your child safe in our setting and we will need to discuss the status of your application for your camper this summer.  Thank you for taking the time to read our Privacy Policy. We know that you recognize the time and concern we have placed in continuing to maintain your privacy.
