FORESTDALE — The consultant hired by Camp Good News officials to help overcome a tarnished image and reopen the 77-year-old camp has personal experience with a sex abuse scandal.

Rick Braschler, director of CircuiTree Solutions, was hired to review the Camp Good News policies and procedures and recommend ways to improve safety for children.

Next month, he will also offer a workshop to teach camp leaders and others in the community willing to pay $100 how to protect children from predators. But the training goes beyond criminal background checks and establishing protocols to report abuse.
