Safety and Hygiene

Safety and Rules

On the first day, the kids will brainstorm camp rules. They will decide what will be the consequences for breaking the camp rules. (My rules are "Have Fun and Be Safe", but the kids won't know my rules until they have come up with their own)

We will select daily "safety captains". On Day One, we will tour the farm and the captains will note the "alert zones", places which must be off limits or where we must be very careful/alert. We will understand that we are "camping" on a working farm, and like on any work site there are hazards to be aware of.

And we sing this ROUSING HEROIC song!

Safety Captains
They know just what to do!
Safety Captains
They take good care of you!
They wouldn’t want you
To come to any harm
In an accident
On Farmer Nikki’s Farm
Thank goodness for the Safety Captains!

On the first day we'll map out the plan for the five days of camp. Day One will be the right day for kids to bring their ideas about camp songs, games, activities, shenanigans they would like to put in the program.

We recycle, and strive to keep our "carbon footprint" small. There are lots of opportunities for conservation lessons at camp. Kids are encouraged to bring foods in reusable containers, reuse their lunchbags and reduce waste.

If all goes well, and the kids have shown they can be safe, we can look forward to a campfire with s'mores on the last day!

Hygiene

The restroom is an outdoor flush toilet with a hot and cold water sink. Remind your kids that they will be washing their hands after doing any sort of work with animals and before eating.
