Start Talking!
at summer camps
6/20/2017
Kids who hear about the dangers of drugs from trusted adults are up to
50 percent less likely to use. Mentors at summer camps, or band and
sport camps, can support Ohio’s youth in making healthy choices.
Camp leaders can lead a Start Talking!discussion and share the facts
about the dangers of alcohol, illegal drugs and the misuse of
prescription medications.
These Talking Points for Camp Leaders provide tips to Start Talking!
with kids and have a positive and productive conversation. If you are
an athlete, coach or instructor at a youth camp, you may be able to
communicate a valuable message to campers who look up to you. By
setting a good example and sharing the importance of a healthy,
drug-free lifestyle, you can combat the negative peer pressure that
these youth will likely encounter.
Learn how to get the conversation started at StartTalking.Ohio.Gov.
