Camp Consulting & Training Companies

Camp industry consultants and staff-training providers — operations reviews, accreditation preparation, leadership development, and the outside perspective that helps a camp see its own blind spots.

8 companies

Alpine Towers International logo

Alpine Towers International

Challenge Course Construction

Alpine Towers International designs, builds, inspects, and maintains challenge courses and climbing structures for camps, schools, and wellness facilities, and is known for its signature Alpine Tower climbing structure. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, it offers full-service support including practitioner certification, staff training, refurbishment, and third-party program assessments. Its designs meet or exceed ACCT and Climbing Wall Industry Group standards.

Camp Medical Services logo

Camp Medical Services

Health & Medical

Camp Medical Services is a camp-focused telehealth and medical-support provider that connects camps with physicians for remote evaluation, creating HIPAA-compliant records for campers seen in the clinic. It augments on-site nurses and EMTs rather than replacing them, and offers pre-summer staff training (virtual and in-person), camper medical-form review, and treatment planning for high-risk campers. It is positioned as a way for camps to add physician oversight without transporting campers off-site.

Go Camp Pro logo

Go Camp Pro

Consulting & Training

Go Camp Pro provides professional development, consulting, and resources for summer camp directors across marketing, staffing, facilities, business, and program, and produces a network of camp-industry podcasts including the Camp Owners Podcast. Built specifically for independent, owner-operated camps rather than adapted corporate coaching, its programs (like the Resilience Blueprint) target founder-led camps serving roughly 100-600 campers. It functions as both a consultancy and a camp-professional community.

Innovative Camp Company

Consulting & Training

Innovative Camp Company is a consulting and product-sourcing firm for camps and youth-serving organizations, applying best practices and research to operational challenges and helping programs source the products they need. It works with national youth organizations and camps across the country and positions itself as a partner that strengthens a program's mission without forcing it to change its identity. Its focus is advisory and procurement support rather than a single product.

Joffe Emergency Services logo

Joffe Emergency Services

Safety & Security

Joffe Emergency Services is an all-in-one provider of emergency-response training, event safety, and disaster-preparedness supplies for schools, camps, nonprofits, and businesses. Founded around 2010 and based in Santa Monica, California, it has grown to a network of roughly 800 responders nationwide, including EMTs, paramedics, and doctors. It offers on-site medical coverage, emergency planning, AEDs and first-aid kits, and online safety courses through Joffe Academy.

StarGuard Elite logo

StarGuard Elite

Aquatics & Waterfront

StarGuard Elite (SGE) is an internationally recognized aquatic risk-prevention agency offering lifeguard training, certification, consulting, and unannounced safety audits, used by waterparks, municipalities, cruise lines, and camps. It grew out of the StarGuard lifeguard program created by Starfish Aquatics Institute founder Jill White and became a separately operated entity in 2018. Its audits and design/risk-assessment services help aquatic operations exceed industry safety standards.

The Redwoods Group logo

The Redwoods Group

Insurance

The Redwoods Group is a specialty commercial insurer founded in 1997 that exclusively serves youth-serving organizations: camps, YMCAs, JCCs, and Boys & Girls Clubs. A Certified B Corporation based in Durham, North Carolina, it pairs property and casualty coverage with safety consulting and child-abuse-prevention resources drawn from the incidents it investigates. It is an ACA business partner and supports ACA's Research 360 study.

Viristar logo

Viristar

Consulting & Training

Viristar provides risk-management training and strategic safety consulting for outdoor, wilderness, adventure, travel, and experiential programs, including summer camps. Its flagship four-week Risk Management for Outdoor Programs course teaches a systems-thinking 'Risk Domains' model and comes with a 218-page textbook, used by program leaders, safety committee members, and field staff. It positions safety as an organizational discipline rather than a checklist.

Questions camps ask about this category

What should a camp look for?
Ask how the work is scoped and what a normal year with them looks like: who does the setup, what happens in your busiest fortnight, what the exit looks like if you leave, and what the price does when your numbers change. Ask two or three companies the same questions and compare the answers rather than the brochures. We don't nominate a best one, here or anywhere.

Nothing above compares these companies to each other, because a directory entry is not a basis for that comparison. What it is good for is knowing who exists, who says they work with programs like yours, and who is willing to answer a question in public. Start there, then ask the two or three of them the questions your own year actually turns on.
