If you feel you have been harassed, you are encouraged to tell the individual that you find their conduct offensive and it must cease.

If you feel the need to file a complaint through the Sexual Abuse and Child Abuse Policy please contact the Saskatchewan Conference Office at 306-721-3311. Trained consultants will assist you to determine your options with the possibility of pursuing, on a confidential basis, a formal or informal resolution.

Thank you for your assistance in making this camp a safe and respectful place.
