• Assess the situation and either:<br />
- Assist the injured participant in an appropriate way yourself<br />

the scene)<br />

• Complete an Incident / Accident report form.<br />
The User Group Leaders are responsible for administering any first aid requirements to participants. The<br />
location of the designated first aiders should be noted before commencing each activity. Emergency contact<br />
numbers are located in the Camp Booklet. Site Program Staff all carry UHF radios for communication<br />
purposes.<br />

EMERGENCY RESPONSE<br />
All campers are made aware of the emergency evacuation procedure upon arrival at camp. In case of an<br />
emergency, the entire group should stop the activity and make their way as a group to the emergency<br />
evacuation area. In case of an injury requiring treatment; the group should stop the activity and be seated<br />
together nearby. Someone should be sent to obtain extra assistance if necessary. Camp site staff should be<br />
informed as soon as possible.
