The gate to the facility remains unlocked while campers are present; however, the gate will be closed and secured at 10:00 P.M.

The Director must be informed immediately of any visitors not registered with the group.

All visitors and campers must check in at the Administration Building upon arrival.

Security lights are stationed throughout the facility; however, we encourage guest to bring a flashlight.

Adult supervision of students is required at all times.

Cabins and meeting rooms do not have keys for general usage. Therefore, securing valuable items is the responsibility of the guest. The camp is not liable for lost or stolen items.

Safety

Campers are encouraged to stay on walkways, roads and major paths to ensure their safety.

Tennis shoes are strongly suggested over flip flops or sandals.

All campers should pay special attention to hydration. Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after outdoor activities.

Skipping meals can lead to health risks when participating in outdoor activities. All campers are encouraged to eat at every meal.

All campers should use plenty of sunscreen and other forms of protection from the sun including hats, eye-ware, etc.

Stretching before, during, and after recreation activities will reduce the risk of injury.

Advisors must notify the camp staff or Director before transporting any camper to the hospital.

No Campers should be at the boat dock, pool hall, rifle range, river, ponds with out an advisor.

What to do if there is an injury:

Immediately notify the Director or camp staff.

If there is a serious injury: remain calm, leave someone with the victim while you go to get help, do not attempt to move the victim.

In the event of a severe emergency, the closest hospital is White Co. Community Hospital in Sparta. The hospital is approximately 15 miles from the facility, off of Hwy. 111.

In the event of a severe emergency, guests may dial 9-1-1 for assistance if the Director or camp staff cannot be located.

Other Safety Concerns

In case of a fire: remain calm, account for all individuals in the group, do not go back into the burning building. Report the fire to a staff member.

In case of severe weather: remain calm, take cover, report to the Administration Building if time permits, otherwise, report to the nearest building and stay away from windows. Remain inside until the weather has cleared or until you receive instruction from the camp staff. Follow instructions posted inside buildings.
