Preventing Trailer Theft
We've observed recent incidents of theft involving trailers and their valuable contents, such as lawnmowers or program equipment. Ensure heightened security by adding hitch locks and wheel clamp locks, and always park vehicles with trailers in well-lit areas to deter potential theft.

Sprinkler Cages in Gyms
Protect your gym from potential water damage by installing sprinkler cages. These serve as a barrier against accidental discharge caused by sports equipment like basketballs. Preventing flooding is crucial to maintaining uninterrupted programming. 

Property Maintenance
As we approach summer and the camp season, it's critical to assess the condition of trees and overhanging limbs. Remove any that pose a risk of falling, potentially causing damage to buildings. Clear roofs and gutters of debris, and do a roof inspection to identify any winter damage to ensure readiness for the upcoming season.
