Frequently Asked Questions
Safety
How do you keep track of the children?
The camp staff are experienced in leading outdoor experiences with young children and are consistently counting and scanning the space to ensure all children are safe and within eyesight. They take the time to regularly discuss the boundaries of the space and stress the importance of the children listening to instructions regarding safety.
What precautions have been taken to ensure children's safety?
The property has been regularly maintained and surveyed for potential hazards, including tree maintenance. Emergency procedures have been established and reviewed with all staff. A satellite phone will be kept with the staff present with the children to ensure communication is open during an emergency. Staff are CPR and First Aid certified

Logistics
How many children will be attending camp?
We are planning for up to 12 campers with two counselors, or up to 8 with one counselor. Both of the camp counselors have multiple years of experience teaching children in all outdoor settings in a variety of environments.
How do the children use the bathroom outside?
There are two options for using the bathroom at an all outdoor camp. We will have a potty tent or a more open air, camp potty with a privacy curtain near our "base camp". We also go nature potty in the forest if we are further out on the property. If your child isn't used to using the bathroom outdoors, don't worry - we've taught many children how.
What is the parking situation?
The property has a long gravel driveway that opens up to more parking opportunities. There will be a round about loop to help with space and maneuvering. As camp approaches, an email will be sent to the email used at registration with important details on parking instructions, including a diagram of the parking lot.
