This is the required ratio of campers to staff
4:1
Do or Don't: Give a camper a high five
Do!
This is the golf cart that only Shemar can use.
"Big Red" (the large, red golf cart)
Do or Don't: Harass your campers about drinking water
Do! Harass those little dehydrated bodies all day long. This will help avoid headaches, tummy aches, and crabby campers (among other, more serious health concerns).
This is when staff can use their cell phone, if needed.
At rest hour, away from campers.
Do or Don't: Help a camper tie their shoe laces
DO! Possibly many times a day
This is what you'll do every night to ensure you can be reached by radio in the event of an emergency.
Respond to the radio roll-call that leadership will do each night around 8:30/9:00pm
Do or Don't: Drive your able-bodied camper (or staff) to the field in a golf cart because it's hot.
Don't. The golf carts serve a purpose and should be available when needed.
These should not be used by campers outside of the cabin, to call/text, or for social media access.
Cell phones! Can be used for photographs, alarm clocks, listening to music at lights out.
SET RULES! Explain consequences.
Do or Don't: Invite a camper to sit on your lap
Absolutely do not.
You must be this old, and have one of these to drive a golf cart
21, valid driver's license
Do or Don't: Share chapstick with a camper
Ewww, don't. Send 'em to the med shed where there's lip balm galore!
These are the people allowed to post photographs of campers.
Camp leadership (family coordinator will share photographs with families.)
Some families do not agree to the photo release, so posting their photo could be a big deal.
Do or Don't: Help a camper put sunscreen lotion on their face
Do! Morning and afternoon, or as-needed
These are to be used for funny jokes, marking fart noises, and pranking other staff.
What is NOT the walkies/radios! Radios should be used for needed communication and emergencies. We will go over channel information at camp.
Do or Don't: Leave a camper alone in the cabin to finish dressing while you go to breakfast, because that oatmeal goes fast & darn it, you're not missing it again.
Don't. The oatmeal is questionable anyway.
This is the answer you have to have when you get a friend/follow request from a camper OR LIT... even when it's one of your all-time favorite campers whose now and LIT and you'd love to be social media friends with him, but it's just not allowed. *tear*
No, decline, nope, ignore, not allowed, see ya when you're 19.
Do or Don't: Help a camper put sunscreen on any part of their body other than their face.
Do not. Don't. No.
This is the new addition to camp that will require additional training once we're onsite
The new camp roller coaster! just kidding, it's only a small pond that may or may not be stocked with fish.
Do or Don't: Tell a camper, "You need to participate."
Trick Question! Kinda - you should encourage them with words, but more effective is to participate yourself and try to get them involved.
