Bus/Van Safety Procedures The following is a list of safety procedures to follow when dropping off or picking up campers: • Parents and/or Guardians are responsible for the supervision of their campers and any siblings at all times at the bus stop areas. Please do not leave until your camper has boarded the bus. • Pets need to stay in the comfort of their own home, or backyard. • Please refrain from smoking at the bus stops. • Alcoholic beverages are NOT allowed at the bus stops. • Drive slowly and watch for pedestrians when you are in the parking lots and near the bus stop. A Day in the Life of a Camper Campers get up about 7 a.m. and go to bed around 9-10 p.m. depending upon their age. An hour after lunch each day is reserved for “quiet time” to allow the girls time to relax. The rest of the day is spent in programs planned by the campers on the first day with guidance from unit staff. Most activities are done in their unit groups. Units are split in half, or in thirds, for some of the activities depending on the size of the unit and the activities in which they are participating. A certain amount of time each day is set-aside for “Kapers” – chores that help the camp stay clean. Some of the Kapers include tent, trash, and bathroom cleanup, wood gathering, washing dishes, conducting flag ceremonies, setting the dining tables and bringing food from the kitchen to the table. <strong>Girl</strong>s participating in the shorter 4 and 5 day sessions usually participate in each camp activity one time. <strong>Girl</strong>s attending the longer sessions often have the opportunity to participate in some of the activities several times. During each session we have at least one all-camp campfire, an all-camp event and a theme meal. Campfires are held at Pine Haven around dusk. They include songs, skits and laughter. 14
The camper council, a group that includes representatives from each unit, plans all camp events and theme meals. Some of the events and theme meals we have had in the past include: dance parties, fairytale dinners, pajama breakfasts, all camp capture the flag and more. 15
