## Resource

Starting in 2027, Missouri overnight summer camps will be required to conduct criminal background checks on staff—a major safety upgrade spurred by the tragic 2022 drowning of six-year-old TJ Mister. His parents, Olga and Travone Mister, have been relentless advocates for camp safety, pushing for reforms after investigations revealed critical lapses, including missing emergency protocols and misrouted 911 calls. Though a broader safety bill failed, Governor Mike Kehoe recently signed a targeted law mandating background checks. Olga calls it progress but insists CPR training and emergency plans are still urgently needed. Parents are urged to ask tough questions and consider alternatives if safety concerns aren’t addressed.
