WORKING STANDARD / V0.1

SUMMERCAMP Program Transparency Standard v0.1

A working framework for describing information families may need before deciding whether a Program may fit them.

01

Disclosure, not quality

Transparency describes information disclosure; it is not a Program quality judgment.

02

Risk information, not safety

Risk Information Transparency is not a safety assessment or guarantee.

03

Working standard, not certification

The working standard is not certification, accreditation, approval, or legal advice.

STANDARD / 01

Ten information domains

Domains remain parallel and are never added into an overall score.

  1. 01

    Program Identity

    Who the Program is, who operates it, where it currently operates, and which official source describes it.

  2. 02

    Participant Fit

    Who the Program is designed for and which age, experience, family, group, and language conditions apply.

  3. 03

    Program Format

    How long the Program lasts and how daily rhythm, grouping, accommodation, transport, and participation are organized.

  4. 04

    Place & Environment

    The current place, environmental context, route or site model, and relevant seasonal conditions.

  5. 05

    Activities & Challenge

    What participants do and what physical, technical, decision-making, or other challenge is meaningfully disclosed.

  6. 06

    Preparation & Prerequisites

    What participants must, should, or may prepare before joining.

  7. 07

    Supervision & Roles

    Who leads, how supervision is structured, and what staff, participants, and family members do.

  8. 08

    Risk Information

    Whether meaningful risks, preparation, supervision, change conditions, continuation, and emergency processes are explained.

  9. 09

    Accessibility & Practical Support

    What factual mobility, dietary, language, sensory, neurodiversity, medication, transport, and accommodation support is described.

  10. 10

    Evidence & Information Freshness

    Who supplied the information, what has been reviewed, when it was last reviewed, and whether a Field Review occurred.

VOCABULARY / 02

Four disclosure states

available
Available
Applicable required information is disclosed; recommended details may still be missing.
partial
Partial
Some applicable information is disclosed, while required information remains missing or inconsistent.
not-available
Not Yet Available
Applicable information has not yet been disclosed or verified in the canonical record.
not-applicable
Not Applicable
The requirement does not apply in this Program context and a reason is recorded.
APPLICATION / 03

Requirements follow Program context

  1. 01

    Required

    Information ordinarily needed to decide about this Program context; when missing, the domain remains partial or not yet available.

  2. 02

    Recommended

    Information that improves understanding but does not prevent a domain from being described as available.

  3. 03

    Not applicable

    Requires a reason in the Program context; a blank never becomes not applicable automatically.

  4. 04

    Still to clarify

    Gaps become specific questions a family or operator can ask, without changing Advisor ranking.

RISK INFORMATION / 04

Disclosure detail only

Levels 0–4 describe only how specifically risk-management information is disclosed. They are not safety levels, outcome predictions, or judgments of Program quality.

Level 0
Unknown
No meaningful structured risk-management information is currently available.
Level 1
Limited
Limited general language is available, with little operational detail.
Level 2
Basic
Key risks or supervision information is described at a basic level.
Level 3
Detailed
Preparation, supervision, change conditions, and emergency processes are described in detail.
Level 4
Comprehensive
Current, structured, evidence-bounded information has passed the complete v0.1 disclosure gate.
REQUIREMENT MATRIX / 05

Ten profiles, ten parallel domains

R means required, REC recommended, and N/A is used only with a recorded contextual reason. Unmapped categories receive the conservative generic fallback.

This ledger shows domain requirements; field-level exceptions remain in the public JSON and versioned specification.
