Make a List, Check It Twice

Things to think about:

  • Are there girls in the group who have never been away from home/family before? How will you manage?
  • What is the plan when homesickness takes over?
  • What is your emergency plan while at the site?
  • Do you have information about local medical facilities and directions? Who will drive if needed?
  • Who is on-site to help with emergencies? You should have a first-aider, but what services can/do staff provide (first aid, lifeguard, ranger, etc.)?
  • Where are safety tools (fire extinguisher, AED, first-aid kit) in relation to where you are staying?
