The Lightwell Podcast

Summer is just around the corner, and that means camp season is in full swing for ministries across the country. But while camps offer incredible opportunities for fun, growth, and sharing the good news, they also compress a lot of risk into a short window of time. From increased numbers of minors and overnight stays to outdoor activities, transportation, and the challenges of staffing and facilities, there's a lot for camp leaders to consider—especially when it comes to insurance and risk management.

In this episode of the Lightwell Podcast, we sit down with Ben Giselbach, a seasoned risk advisor from Alabama with deep experience working with Christian camps and churches. Together, we’ll explore the biggest risk areas camps face, from supervision and child safety policies to facility hazards, weather-related threats, transportation issues, and the need for solid emergency response plans. Practical insights show how proactive planning, comprehensive policies, and having the right insurance coverages and expert guidance can help camp leaders confidently navigate every season.
