Why do you need summer camp cover?
Summer Camp Insurance provides essential protection for organisations against potential claims, from risks and incidents occurring during sporting activities. As a Summer camp organiser, you will likely have large number of people involved in training and matches, from players, to spectators, to support staff and volunteers, and therefore the risk of unexpected injuries and incidents ultimately increases.
By securing summer camp insurance, you are putting essential step to ensure a responsible operation, fulfilling safety obligations to participants, and safeguarding yourself against significant financial liabilities.
Here are some examples of why summer camp insurance is important:
Cover against a member of the Camp getting injured.
Summer Camps often host events, matches, or tournaments where spectators are present. In the event that a spectator is injured or their property is damaged while on the Camp’s premises, public liability insurance provides protection against potential legal claims.
An employee or volunteer suffers a workplace accident.
If the summer camp employs coaches, staff, or volunteers, employer’s liability insurance is necessary to cover potential claims made by employees for work-related injuries or illnesses.
Employers’ liability is a legal obligation with fines of £2500 per day for failing to comply.
Financial protection for expensive sports equipment.
You may have invested in high value equipment to operate your summer camp. If your storage facility suffers a flood or a fire you could face a large bill to replace everything to continue operating your camp.
Sports equipment cover can avoid costly replacements in case your equipment is lost, damaged or stolen.
A sports centre requires liability insurance.
To run your summer camp, you might need to hire a premise to be able to offer your activities. Most centres will require proof of the correct liability cover as minimum for their own safeguarding and for you to hold your camp with them.
