Camp Director Resources
Case Studies

Over the past year, the Ohio State University Extension Risk Management Task Force went through an extensive process to identify current and future risks to our organization and develop/identify resources to manage those risks.  One of the primary management techniques identified was the development and dissemination of educational materials for faculty and staff to use in their local, district, and statewide training.  One method of educating individuals on the potential risks associated with community-based educational programs is through the use of case studies.  There are a series of nine case studies developed that are applicable to all Extension program areas as well as four additional specific to resident camp programs. 
Case Study A:  Counselor Responsibilities
Case Study B:  Camper Behavior
Case Study C:  Counselor Interactions
Case Study D:  Group Activity

Additional case studies may be found at the Ohio State University Extension Risk Management website.  Should you have any questions about these case studies or other risk management situations, please contact Ryan J. Schmiesing at 614-292-6944 or schmiesing.3@osu.edu
