Every adult at camp who works with students is a mandatory reporter of child abuse under Oregon law. The emergency plan cites Oregon Revised Statute 419B.005 and directs reports to the Oregon Department of Human Services hotline, 1-855-503-SAFE (7233), or to law enforcement.
The 2026 requirements:
Educators and counselors joined the education sponsor as temporary licensed staff. The sponsor cleared them and required them to complete its training videos.
Overnight volunteers and agency staff outside the sponsor’s payroll needed its clearance and had to acknowledge receipt of its abuse and sexual conduct reporting requirements for contractors, agents and volunteers. Records had to be on file by opening day, or the person could not stay overnight.
Site-host employees who would interact with students had to meet the same screening requirements, under the MOU.
Background checks must happen every two years under the plan.
Tell every adult, at the pre-camp briefing, whom to call on site if they have a concern, and that the duty to report is personal: no one can hand it to someone else.
