Health and Safety at Open World

At Open World, safety is our number one priority.

Students at Open World are supervised by adult staff at all times. Each workshop will have at least two adults present. The average camper-to-staff ratio is 9:1, with most workshops enrolling a maximum of 15–20 students. However, workshops for Explorers (ages 6–8) are capped at 15 students.

All Open World staff are required to have up-to-date CPR and First Aid certification. They also undergo background checks and drug tests.

Both the DigiPen Redmond campus and the Cascadia college campus have on-site security.

During camp registration, you will have the opportunity to provide any information about your child’s allergies and/or any medications your child may require. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s medical or dietary needs while at Open World.

Emergencies

In emergencies, we will communicate with parents as quickly as possible after establishing the safety of the students. In the event of a large-scale emergency that requires pickup, we use the DigiPen mass communication tool, Regroup, to text and email families.

Accommodations

We welcome all students at Open World! For students who require specific accommodations, please let us know, and we will be happy to work with you on necessary arrangements and preparations. Examples of past accommodations include having an aide join the student in class, flexibility in curriculum, and additional adult support where needed. We stay in close contact with parents throughout the workshops so they’re aware of their student’s successes and any challenges.
