Addressing vulnerabilities exposed by past camp disasters, it highlights free NWS support services, digital forecast tools, and interagency planning walkthroughs available to camp directors. outlines a strategic framework for the American Camp Association (ACA) and camp leadership to build weather-resilient operations in partnership with the National Weather Service (NWS), Emergency Management, and local first responders. Addressing vulnerabilities exposed by past camp disasters, it highlights free NWS support services, digital forecast tools, and inter-agency planning walkthroughs available to camp directors. Operational readiness rests on two core requirements: assigning a dedicated daily weather situational awareness lead and deploying redundant warning channels (NOAA Weather Radio, apps, and county reverse notifications) to ensure alerts are never missed. Finally, camp leadership will learn how enrolling in the Weather-Ready Nation (WRN) Ambassador program connects them to the upcoming Camps and Outdoor Recreation Special Interest Group—a new national peer network that will house upcoming emergency operations plan (EOP) templates and safety tool kits currently under development by the NWS.
