Which option is not aligned with inclusive camp practices and is discouraged?

• A. Provide cultural sensitivity training
• B. Celebrate diverse traditions
• C. Adopt a color-blind approach
• D. Recruit diverse staff

Answer: (C)

Inclusive camp practices focus on recognizing and valuing campers’ and staff’s diverse backgrounds rather than treating everyone as if differences don’t matter. A color-blind approach erases identities by ignoring race, culture, and lived experiences, and it can hide bias and inequities that affect participation and safety. Because of that, it is discouraged. In contrast, providing cultural sensitivity training helps staff engage respectfully, celebrating diverse traditions fosters a sense of belonging, and recruiting diverse staff improves representation and brings different perspectives to camp life. These practices align with inclusive aims, whereas the color-blind approach does not.
