Welcome to the Austin City Specific page!
Here you will find all city-specific training information and dates, instructions/ links to sign-up for trainings, information on role-specific meetings, how to request time off, and more.
Kidventure takes pride in ensuring all our staff feels prepared and ready to knock camp out of the park. Trainings are a HUGE component of our staff’s preparation and success at camp. It is what affords us the ability to function so well as a team and walk into the summer prepared. Not so much prepared for you, but prepared for the campers that are waiting to meet you.
You have a unique opportunity. You can choose to train like a champ, or coast and do the bare minimum. If you choose the former, you’ll potentially change the life of someone in need. If you choose to coast, you’ll do little for anyone. What will you choose?
We strongly advise all staff to check this page regularly to stay updated on training dates and information. All of the following trainings are mandatory, but some components have several options. Please read closely and complete the relevant training within each training component that corresponds to you!
here’s how it works…
Trainings/meetings are required from all Kidventure Summer team members. Kidventure offers multiple dates for staff to choose from for trainings like 1st Aid/ CPR and Abuse Prevention. However, most other trainings are unique in that they will only take place on the reserved date and time. We ask that all staff reserve the dates and times announced for their respective required trainings, so that they may be the most prepared for camp. Additionally, we strongly encourage all staff to complete trainings as soon as they can (as applied) and not wait until the last minute.
All staff is required to be 1st Aid/ CPR Certified and complete a Sexual Abuse training (Praesidium). Additionally, depending on your role, you may be required to attend additional role-specific trainings/meetings. Find your role in the table below to learn what your required trainings for this summer are:
Every team member must be First Aid and CPR certified through August 8th, 2025. If you are not currently certified through August 8th, 2025, we ask that you complete the certification with Kidventure. If you are already certified in First Aid/CPR/AED and will be current through August 8th, 2025, your certifications must be uploaded to Paycom before May 31st, 2025.
Details: Kidventure offers a training course to staff for a discounted price of $30 (Zelle is preferred, Venmo, cash, or check made out to Kidventure upon request). No payment is to be made to Pro First Aid directly.
All trainings will be held at the Kidventure Austin Office: 11701 FM-2244 Ste. 240C Austin, TX 78738. Below is the list of First Aid and CPR trainings available, please choose the day and time that best fits your schedule.
