PREA

At our facility, we do everything in our power to ensure our residents are in a safe and caring environment. Your child’s safety is our priority. We provide and offer hundreds of hours of training to our staff to help ensure some of the highest standards in the field are met which is why we often have some of the highest audit ratings in not only Nevada but the US.

REPORTING

Your child’s safety is our priority. At the start of their program, they are defining the camp, state, and federal expectations on any type of harassment and/or assault including sexual harassment, assault, and misconduct. Residents are encouraged to report issues and are given both internal and third-party options if needed. Case Managers not only educate your child on these topics at the beginning of intake but take the initiative to follow up with them both 10 and 30 days later.  

Additionally, residents of China Spring Youth Camp will receive ongoing PREA Education about their protection from sexual abuse and sexual harassment from the PREA Compliance Coordinator or designee. The curriculum will be designed to be age-appropriate and take into consideration any limitations the resident may have.
