Weather safety for summer camps

Camp safety that never sleeps.

CampAware watches the sky over your camp every minute of every night. When a real warning covers your property, your staff knows what's coming, when it arrives, and where to take the kids.

Everything your camp needs

From the first rumble to the last head count.

Only when your camp is inside the warning

County-wide alerts become white noise. CampAware reads the official warning shape and stays quiet unless it covers you. One text per warning, and a second only if it gets worse.

Lightning within 10 miles

Clear the lake and the fields. The all-clear comes after 30 quiet minutes.

Arrives about

4:14 PM

Every alert says where the storm is, which way it's moving, and when it reaches you.

River rising upstream

USGS gauges above your camp warn you when the water starts climbing fast, with flood zones on the map.

Rally points by hazard

Every phone shows the right shelter and the way there from where you stand.

Every camper, accounted for

At check-in, at pickup and during every emergency, cabin leaders count their group and tap accounted for. A photo is optional. Rosters need only a first initial and last name.

Alert everyone

One button, every phone

The director sends a message to all staff, counselors and parents at once.

Extreme heat

Heat warnings early enough to move activities indoors and add water breaks.

Test alerts

Run a drill on day one so every phone is set up before it matters.

Camp names, storms and times on this page are examples.

Set up in an afternoon. Ready all summer.

Rings through silent

One number. Saved once. Heard every time.

Every alert comes from one dedicated CampAware number. Staff save it as a contact with Emergency Bypass, so it gets through Do Not Disturb at 2 AM. No smartphone needed: warnings work on any phone that gets texts.
