Here are some safety and fun reminders for the spring campout.
- Stay on designated trails, avoid wandering off into unmarked areas.
- Always have a visual of your child while on trails, kids love to run ahead.
- Maintain a close distant with your child approaching cave areas.
- The cave and creek area conditions are cool and wet. Be very aware and cautious when stepping on any rock formation or rocks in general.
- Be particularly careful crossing any creek regardless of size.
- Never go night hiking.
- Bring a phone when hiking.
- If your gut tells you not to climb in an area or fitting through tight spaces, listen to your gut.
- Watch for poison ivy, it is on trails and behind cabins.
- When hiking, the more people on a hike together, the better. (buddy system)
- Bring water! Coming back up hills can put stress on both dads and children, especially if the weather is warm and humid.
- Bring bug repellant and Band-Aids.
- Watch and avoid your daughter’s temptation to throw rocks, etc. in open areas below.
We hope these reminders will assist you in taking extra caution as safety is always priority one, which always ensures a fun and memorable time.
