Camp Wingate Kirkland
2015 Transportation Safety and Policy
Driver & Vehicle Policies and Procedures
Emergency Equipment/Forms (TR-8, TR-10) — Every vehicle used to transport
campers and staff should be equipped with a fully equipped first aid kit, fire
extinguisher and emergency accessories including reflectors, maps, and a list of all
passengers. Additionally, a list of all individuals on each trip, can be found in the
Sign-Out book in the Camp office. For trips outside of Camp, the staff member
accompanying the group must cany a cell phone for emergency communication. A
rental agreement or vehicle registration, insurance information, vehicle safety
maintenance checklist, and this sheet should be in the vehicle at all times.
Vehicle �pe/Capacity (TR-2) Campers and sta.ff should only be transported in
vehicles designed to carry passengers. They are not permitted to ride in the back of
trucks except in an extreme emergency and when directed by appropriate staff (i.e.
fire evacuation.) Vehicles should carry only the number of passengers specified by
the vehicle manufacturer. There should be a seatbelt for each passenger. A staff
member (adult) must be present in each vehicle. If traveling by bus or, 12-passenger
van, this is in addition to the driver.
Vehicle Safety Checks (TR-13) — Maintenance Staff will check all Camp Mini
Buses and Vans daily, prior to transporting campers. The following must be checked:
•Tire tread and pressure„
•Lights,
•Windshield and wiper condition,
•Emergency flashers,
•Horn,
•Brakes,
•Mirror, and
•Fluid levels
If any of these areas do not check out, either remedy the situation or do not take
the vehicle. Report all vehicle problems to the Site Manager immediately.
� VJ
Pre Trip Checks Before Using Camp Vehicles (TR-15)
1.Check all tires for tread wear and proper pressure.
2.Check to see that the spare tire is in the vehicle and is in good condition with all
necessary equipment to make a tire change.
3.Check to see that a fully equipped first aid kit is in the vehicle.
4.Check the gas gauge and determine that all gauges, lights and equipment are
functioning properly.
S.Make sure lights, brakes, mirrors, horn, emergency flashers and windshield wipers !
all work.
6.To get gas, ask Assistant Director or Director for a credit card and bring back a
receipt. When getting gas, the driver should check lights, tires, windshield wipers,
emergency flashers, horn, oil level and coolant level. Problems should be referred
to the Site Manager immediately.
Passenger Orientation (TR-8, TR-9) — Passengers should be instructed in the .
following safety procedures prior to transporting: '
1. Vehicles should only load passengers within the seating limit that is esta.blished by
the vehicle manufacturer.
2. Passengers should remain seated at all times with hands and arms inside vehicle.
3. Seat belts should be fastened— one person per seatbelt.
4. Noise level� should be sucli as to not distract the driver. There should be no
throwing of objects or other disruptive behavior. ;
5. Campers should enter and leave the vehicle under the direction of a staff member ���'
and/or driver. If the vehicle makes an emergency stop, passengers should follow
directions of staff inember and/or driver and use buddy system if leaving the
vehicle.
6. When applicable, a person in a wheelchair must be seat-belted to their chair, in the
locked position and securely attached to the vehicle.
Supervision Ratios (TR-6) ��,
All camp trips with campers out of camp in a camp vehicle will have at least 2 �I
counselors with the group. For example, in a 15-passenger bus, there could be '
up to 13 campers and 2 counselors, one of them driving. In general, there should '
be a ratio of 1 to 8. Exceptions include short trips within the adjacent towns of
Yarmouth, Dennis, Barnstable and Brewster: for these short trips, there may be
one driver for 10 campers if circumstances are unusual and no other counselor is
available. Otherwise, even for short trips there must be an additional counselor in
the van, in addition to the driver.
Driver Requirements —The driver requirements to transport campers and drive
camp vehicles follow the driver outlines set up by AMSkier Insurance. This
includes being at least 21 years of age, holding a valid vehicle operator's license
for the size and type of camp vehicle, and have no major moving violations in a
36 month period. A minor violation that has occurred in the past 36 months can be
approved through AMSkier Insurance.
Travel Procedures (TR-8) —Vehicles should be kept a safe distance apart if
traveling together. It is recommended that vehicles travel by convoy. Drivers should
pre-establish rest stops to check in with each other. All drivers should have maps,
complete directions to destination, and appropriate telephone numbers. One driver
should be appointed lead driver. On any trip, stops should be made only at
acceptable rest stops. After three continuous hours, the vehicle must stop to rotate or
rest drivers and rest the passengers. All traffic laws of the state are to be strictly
obeyed when transporting campers and staff.
Behind-the-Wheel Training (TR-15)—If you are driving a vehicle that you
normally do not drive, the Camp Director will evaluate and determine when
additional behind-the-wheel training is required before transporting persons or
equipment. (Includes training in vans, camp trucks, buses, and vehicles pulling
trailers.) All staff who are 21 years of age or older, and who may transport campers
in a Camp Mini Bus during the summer, will receive Professional Driver Training
during Sta.ff Training Week. Written evaluations will be reviewed by the Directors
before allowing staff to transport campers.
Camper Behavior (TR-15� In larger vehicles, behavior problems should always be
the responsibility of adults or staff members other than the driver. If the driver is the
only staff inember available to handle disruptive behavior and verbal corrections are
not successful, he/she should pull off the road in a safe area. Follow established
camp discipline procedures.
Backing Up (TR-15) — Because you cannot see everything behind your vehicle,
backing up is always dangerous. Avoid backing up whenever you can. When you
park, try to park so you will be able to pull forward when you leave. When you have `.
to back, here are a few simple safety rules:
1. Look at your path.
2. Back slowly using your mirrors.
3. Back and turn toward the driver's side whenever possible. '
4. Use a helper whenever possible.
Loading and Unloading Passengers (TR-15) — Load and unload in areas that are
free from vehicular traffic unless in an emergency. The vehicle should be in park
with the emergency brake on and the motor turned off. Loading and unloading will
take place in an orderly fashion following directions from staff member. Campers
should be directed where to assemble after unloading and kept under supervision of
an adult. '
Evacuation (TR-15)
Evacuation of a vehicle under the supervision of a staff member should occur under
emergency situations. The second staff inember, who is not driving, should safely
guide the campers out of the vehicle through the entrance of the vehicle. After
everyone has been evacuated, the driver should quickly sweep the vehicle for any '
remaining campers or staff members. The driver should then exit the vehicle. The '
staff members should guide the campers a safe distance away from the vehicle and '
call for help and call Camp Directors.
Refueling (TR-15)—Always refuel before getting down to a quarter of a tank. Each
bus keychain and the van keychain will have a Mobil SpeedPass. The engine must be
turned off to refuel. If transporting campers, they are to remain in the vehicle. Do '
not allow unsupervised campers to leave the vehicle for any reason while refueling.
Dealing with Passenger Illness (TR-15)
1. Administer first aid as needed. Keep the camper comfortable.
2. If you need to stop, try to do so in an authorized or designated area.
3. Contact Health Center to discuss the situation and decide whether to seek
immediate treatment at a medical facility or return to Camp as soon as possible
and have the camper see the Nurse.
Accident Procedures (TR.7)
If a counselor or staff inember, who is an adult, is in an automobile accident, with or
without campers in the vehicle, the first priority is to ensure the health and safety of
all involved. If there are any injuries to the driver or passengers, ca119-1-1 (or if no
phone is available then find a witness and ask him/her to call for help.). If the staff
member is trained in first aid than they should treat the victim according to their
scope of practice. One staff member must supervise the uninjured campers, keeping
them together, away from danger and calm.
If the accident is serious, with any injuries or substantial damage to the vehicles, do
not hesitate to call the police. However, if it is a fender-bender with no injuries and
limited damage, the driver can simply exchange insurance information with the other
driver.
In any case, do not admit any liability —try to remain calm and objective, while
providing and requesting the required information - Driver's name, address,
telephone number, driver's license information and automobile registration
information and complete insurance information.
If possible, take photos of the accident with a camera or camera-equipped device to
be used when debriefing with Camp Directors. �
Each camp vehicle is equipped with the following: (TR.10)
• First Aid Kit
• List of Emergency Procedures
• Emergency Phone Numbers �
• Insurance Information
• Fire Extinguisher
• Reflectors
The reflectors should be used if there is any risk of the accident causing a dangerous
situation for other drivers or for your passengers. In case of a fire in the vehicle, do
not try using the fire extinguisher. Just move yourself and all campers as far from
the automobile as possible. Likewise, any injuries should be treated by professional
health care and emergency care providers, rather than with the provided first aid kit.
The first aid kit is provided for minor injuries sustained out of camp, such as cuts,
scrapes, bug bites, etc.
i
• �
As soon as the situation is under control, call the camp at 508-362-3798 or the
Directors at 508-341-3798 and let them know exactly what happened, how
everybody is, and what future actions are likely to be taken. If possible, we will have
a member of the Leadership Team or Site staff come to the site of the accident.
Identify any witnesses to the accident and obtain appropriate information.
Dealing with Vehicular Breakdown (TR-15) '
1. Move off the road as far as possible. It's better to drive on a flat tire than park in '
an unsafe place.
2. Place the transmission in low, reverse or park. Turn off ignition and remove key. '
3. Set the emergency brake.
4. Turn on the emergency/hazard blinking lights.
5. If vehicle must stop in non-designated parking area (ie., the side of the road),
carry reflective triangles between yourself and the oncoming traffic when placing
reflectors in the following places:
a. On the traffic side of the vehicle, within ten feet of the front or rear corners.
b. About 100 ft. behind and ahead of the vehicle, upon the shoulder of the lane
you are stopped in.
c. Back beyond any hill, curve, or other obstruction that prevents other drivers
from seeing the vehicle within 500 feet.
d. If stopped on or by a one-way or divided highway, place warning devices 20
feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet toward the approaching traffic.
6. If safe to do so, unload passengers and move them well off the roadway away
from the vehicle. Make sure campers are supervised at all times by an adult. If '
evacuation from a bus is necessary, follow established procedures and directions
of the staff member.
7. Contact camp with information about nature of the breakdown and your exact
location. Additional help may be requested if needed. One staff member must
stay with the vehicle and campers.

Tips for Driving the Camp Buses and Vans
1.There is an enormous blind spot in the rear view mirror. With children in the Bus,
the rear view mirror becomes even less useful. Use of the side view mirrors is
essential to safe driving. All mirrors need adjustment before each tri�r—take the
time to do this.
2.A Bus and a Van are heavier in the front than in the back. Therefore, when driving
in the rain, the rear section may hydroplane or skid. Extreme caution and slow
speed minimizes this possibility.
3.A Bus and a Van are not as controllable as a car. A Bus and a Van corner poorly, so
extra caution should be used on entry and exit ramps.
4.When passengers are entering or leaving the vehicle, it should be in park and the
engine should be off.

CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
In order to encourage the best possible working environment during the summer,Camp Wingate*Kirkland believes
that mutual respect between its staff members is absolutely essential.We reject sexual harassment in any form.
Sexual harassment is "unwelcome sexual advances,requests for sexual favors, slurs,jokes and other verbal or
physical conduct of a sexual nature." It becomes unlawful when:
1. Submission to such conduct is explicitly or implicitly a condition of an individual's employment;or
2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct affects the employee's job or substantially interferes with an
� individual's job
performance;or
3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensiue work environment.
Because Camp takes allegations of sexual harassment seriously,we will respond promptly to complaints of sexual
harassment and where it is determined that such inappropriate behavior has occurred,we will act promptly to
eliminate the conduct and impose such corrective action as is necessary, including disciplinary action or termination
of the harasser where appropriate.
If sexual harassment is perceived by an employee, he or she should follow the following procedure:
1. Speak to Sandy or Will Rubenstein, Directors of Camp Wingate*Kirkland.
2. Make it clear to the harasser that you do not approve of his or her behavior or comments,and ask that it
stop immediately. Studies have shown that in the majority of cases,the harasser was unaware that his or
her conduct was
offensive.
3. If the undesirable behavior continues, keep a written record of the behavior,including dates,times,details
and
witnesses.
4. Sandy and/or Will will promptly conduct an investigation of the charges, exerting their best efforts to
maintain the
complainant's confidentiality. Depending on the evidence,Sandy or Will will discuss the complaint with the
staff member(s). If a pattern of frequent offensive behavior is verified,offenders will be subject to
disciplinary actions up to and including immediate termination.
5. There will be no retaliatory action taken against an employee who in all good faith makes a report of
sexual harassment.
This statement is issued in accordance with the guidelines of the 1981 Equal Employment Opportunity commission.
During our staff orientation,we will have a brief discussion of this sexual awareness policy.

are not possible,the candidate will have an extended phone interview with one of the camp directors. In either case, references are
always called and notes are taken to be kept in the staff member's file. The international staff placement agency that we work with
(CCUSA,Campleaders and 3 Advenutres) conducts background checks on all of the counselors that they place.

HEADACHE
Administer acetaminophen or ibuprofen for minor headaches. If headache is persistant
or associated with nausea, vomiting, interrupted sleep, or any other unusual
symptoms, the child needs to be examined by NP.
HEAD INJURY
Check ABC's and treat accordingly. Assess for concussion and if concussion is
suspected, the child needs to be seen by the NP or at the Cape Cod Hospital
Emergency Room. If bleeding occurs and a fracture is suspected, apply pressure only

remove impaled objects and refer to Cape Cod Hospital Emergency Room. If
concussion child requires "brain rest" and should be discharged home until h/a's
resolve and must be cleared by pediatrician or specialist before return to camp. If this
is not achievable, refer to Spaulding Rehab specialist consult.
If no concussion or spinal injury is suspected, raise the head and shoulders slowly.
Allow child to sleep in the Health Center, but wake the child every hour to check the
state of consciousness and orientation as symptoms of concussion may not be
immediately recognized. Evaluate by NP and/or refer to Cape Cod Hospital ER if any of
the following occur: headache persists for more than 2 days or increases in severity,
nausea persists for more than 2 hours, vomiting begins again hours after 1 or 2
episodes have ceased, child complains of double or blurred vision, eyes become cross-
eyed or asymmetrical, pupil sizes are unequal, child has slurred speech or cannot talk,

IMPETIGO
Wash infected area with disinfectant soap and water 4 times daily. Apply triple
antibiotic ointment after each wash. Encourage strict hand washing to prevent further
spreading. If involvement is extensive or spreading, discontinue treatment and contact
the consulting physician.
INSECT STINGS (If anaphylactic defer to ANAPHYLAXIS protocol)
If stinger is present, remove with flat, hard object (credit card) being careful not to
squeeze the stinger as this may cause more venom to be injected. Keep affected area
lower than the heart. Monitor ABC's and treat accordingly. If no allergic reaction
occurs, wash the site with disinfectant soap and water, apply a cold pack for 15 - 20
minutes, and apply baking soda paste to relieve pain.

and remove all nits with the nit comb. Place comb in alcohol bath. In order to prevent
the spread of pediculosis, machine wash all headgear, scarves, coats, and bed linen in
hot water and machine dry for at least 20 minutes by hot air. Articles that cannot be
machine-washed must be sealed in a plastic bag for 4 weeks. Disinfect personal combs
and brushes by soaking in hot water (>130°F) for 10 minutes. Thoroughly clean
sleeping area. Monitor other campers for pediculosis.
POISON IVY
If contact has just occurred, wash with soap and water only and wipe with rubbing
alcohol, launder clothing. For mild signs of itching, apply cold wet pack and calamine
lotion, hydrocortisone or Rhuli Gel. Give Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25-50mg- by
mouth every 4 hours for itching - 50mg can be given at bedtime. If severe blistering or
swelling occurs or rash on face or genitals, evaluate by NP. Showing the campers what
the poison ivy plant looks like and teaching them to avoid contact if at all possible may
prevent poison ivy.
SCABIES

and then seen by the consulting physician or, if after hours, at the Cape Cod Hospital
Emergency Room.
STOMACH ACHE
For indigestion, rest and administer Calcium Carbonate (antacid) or Mylanta.
SUNBURN
Apply cool aluminum acetate compresses and aloe. Keep all blisters intact. Analgesics
may be given for pain. Do not use petroleum. Applying waterproof sunscreen prior to
outdoor activity and periodically throughout the day may prevent sunburn.
SWIMMING ACCIDENTS

CAMP WINGATE * KIRKLAND CAMPER DISCIPLINE POLICY
Basic Principles
■ Our focus at Camp Wingate Kirkland is on teaching and positive encouragement rather than on
punishment.
■ We strive to be a high quality staff providing a high quality experience.
■ Instead of having many detailed rules, we always appeal to the community to respect each other.
■ The Ladder of Discipline is a framework through which camper behavioral challenges are addressed.
Counselor Guidelines
Responding
■ Ask for help unless you are confident that you are responding in an appropriate way. The single biggest
mistake that counselors make is not ask for help with camper issues. The Lodge Leaders and Directors
are always available and should be interrupted if they appear busy.
■ In interactions with campers, counselors should strive to respond rather than react to children.
Guidelines for Responding to Children
■ You are being entrusted to be a care-taker for children.
■ There is a clear power difference between you and the campers which should inform your actions.
■ You must be sexually appropriate with campers at all times—verbally, non-verbally and physically.
■ Be aware of sexual or sexualized behavior in campers. Be firm and non-shaming when responding to
such behavior.
■ Be aware of, and minimize, activities that tend to over stimulate campers such as tickling and pillow fights.
■ Be conscious about your own stress level and take appropriate steps to respond.
■ If you have any question about any behavior or suspected behavior of a camper, please ask for help.
■ Safe places to touch are the hands, shoulders and upper back.

■ Counselors must not use abusive or derogatory language with campers.
■ Counselors may never touch a child against his or her will, unless there is a clear and present danger to
the child.
■ A counselor may never touch a child if the child appears uncomfortable with the touch, whether that
discomfort is expressed verbally or non-verbally.
■ Never touch a child in a place on his or her body that is normally covered by a bathing suit, unless for a
clear medical necessity, and then only with supervision by another adult.
■ Hazing of campers by other campers or counselors is not permitted.
■ Campers will not be subjected in initiation rites that are abusive in any manner. .
■ A counselor will under no circumstances share a bed or sleeping bag with a camper.
A. Nuts and Bolts of Child Abuse Laws
Please be aware of and understand the following, which are covered on the page following this one
■ The definition of a mandated reporter.

CAMP WINGATE � KIRKLQND LADDER OF DISCIPLINE
Step One: After a sign of disrespectful or inappropriate behavior, the counselor points it out to the camper
and asks for a change in behavior as needed. It is important to explain the reason to the camper and make
sure the suggested change is a reasonable one.
Step Two: If the behavior continues, the counselor should remove the camper from the presence of others.
Ask the camper the reason for their unacceptable behavior and try to work together to create an appropriate
alternative.
Step Three: If situation has still not resolved in an acceptable manner, the counselor should ask for help from
a co-counselor or another counselor. With the camper, the counselor, and the new third counselor, review
the situation that occurred. Let the camper know the reason for the meeting. It is important that the camper
knows that this meeting is very out of the ordinary. Campers most always know this. Try to come up with
alternatives/solutions, without threatening.
Step Four: If disrespectful behavior continues in any way, the counselor next goes to a leader. The counselor, '
leader, and camper will then meet to discuss the situation. Once there is a meeting with a leader, Sandy and
Will are informed and the parents are called.
Step Five: If the disrespectful behavior continues after meeting with a leader, the next step is for the counselor
antl camper to meet with Sandy and/or Will. Changes for the behavior will be clearly stated to insure
complete understanding by the camper. Parents will be informetl of this meeting.
Step Six: If the camper's behavior does not change significantly, there will be a secontl meeting with Sandy
and/or Will and the camper will probably be sent home. Parents will be informed of this and a departure time
will be established.

CAMP WINGATE � KIRKLAND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Fire Evacuation Plan
When we run the Search and Rescue drill within the first 48 hours of each camp session, it is communicated
to the campers and staff that the same procedure applies to fires antl other emergencies.
1. If a fire occurs at Camp, we must gather and account for everyone in Camp.
2. As soon as the fire is reported to the office, someone there should call 9-1-1 and report it. Give
directions to 20 Linnell Lane and if needed, information about the location and type of fire.
3. The witness will report whether or not he/she knows if any campers or staff might be trapped in the area
of the fire.
4. Simultaneously, the nearest person should run to the Office to alert the staff there to begin our emergency
procedure. At the Office, he/she should take the red horn hanging on a hook to the right of the door. The
person will take the horn and run around Camp and end up at the basketball court (or alternate location
depending on the location of the fire). In addition, someone will be instructetl to continuously ring the
bell at the Office and the Basketball Court, signaling an emergency.
5. Upon hearing the horn, all members of the Camp community will gather at the basketball court, unless the
location of the fire makes that impossible. The Frog Pond Field, Tennis Courts and Upper Soccer Fields
are alternate locations.
6. As campers and staff arrive, bunk counselors will get their campers seated in a line and will quickly count
the number of campers present from their bunk to determine if there are any campers missing.
7. Once everyone is accounted for, everyone should stay there until the fire fighting personnel tell us it is
okay to leave.
While the emergency procedure is happening, Sandy (or Will if Sandy is not available) will assign roles to the
maintenance crew. He/she will use the office staff and Leaders, as needed. At least one person should go to
the Camp entrance at Linnell Lane to help guide the fire trucks to the site of the fire. Others should be
assigned to go to the fire location and do as much as possible, without risking his/her own safety.

TEL: 888.714.2P67 E-MAIL: HEYCQMPOCAMPWK.COM
Natural Disasters (Flood, Lightning, Wildfire, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.) '
In the event that we can predict the possibility of a natural disaster, Will and Sandy will assign a Leader to ;
stay tuned to local media outlets. If the community is advised by local authorities to evacuate the area, the �
Camp will do so immediately. �
�
�
When appropriate, the Camp will follow its standard emergency procedure of blowing the horns and having '
the entire community gather at the basketball court. Otherwise, Leaders will be sent around Camp to give
evacuation or other instructions to the entire community.
In case of tornado or high winds:
. Go to basement of new bunks (Hilltop, Joel's Place, Cottage) or to Linnell Lane, as instructed.
• Stay away from glass enclosed places or areas with wide-span roofs, like the Leoj
• Crouch down against the floor and cover the back of your head & neck with your hands .
• If no suitable structure is nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch or depression and use your hands to cover
your head
In case of flash flooding:
. Evacuate low-lying areas (waterfront, Frog Pond, etc.) and go to higher ground (Hill Bunks, Upper Soccer ;
Field, Office) !
• Do not try to walk through water that is more than ankle deep
• If in a vehicle, do not drive through a flooded area , even if it looks shallow enough to cross �
t
In case of lightning: '
. Go to safe shelter immediately
• If boating or swimming, get out of the water immediately and go to the Leoj
• If out of camp in a wooded area, seek shelter under a thick growth of relatively small trees
• If you feel your hair stand on end, squat down with your head between your knees �
• Avoid isolated trees or other tall objects, bodies of water, sheds or fences
• Once inside, avoid using a telephone or other electrical appliances — do not take a shower ;
In case of wildfire:
• Listen to local radio or television stations for updated emergency information
• Follow the instructions of local officials. Wildfires can change direction and speed suddenly. Local
officials can advise you of the safest escape route, which may be different than you expected.
. If you are trapped, crouch in the pond. You cannot outrun a fire.
• Lie flat and cover your body with wet clothing or soil.
• If water is not around look for shelter in a cleared area or among a bed of rocks.
• Breathe the air close to the ground through a wet cloth to avoid scorching lungs or inhaling smoke.

CAMP WINCATE � KIRKLAND EMERCENCY PROCEDURES
Waterfront Search and Rescue— Lost Swimmer Plan
1 . If a buddy tag is left on the buddy board or if it is determined that there are a different number of tags on the
board than campers in the water, the Waterfront Director or the person in charge at the waterfront will blow
four short whistle blasts to signify that the water should be cleared.
2. The Waterfront Director or the person in charge of the waterfront shall tell the lookout person to get one of
the two horns out of the boat shed and run the upper loop around camp. While running the upper loop the
lookout should be blowing the horn. The upper loop consists of the camp road past Redwood, the Health
Center, the Office, Lodge 1, the Dining Hall, Lodge 2, Lodge 3, Lodge 4, Lodge 7, Lodge 5, the mail shed, the
frog pond field and back to the basketball court. A CIT/the lookout, or person designated by Waterfront
Director goes immediately to the Office and gets the clipboard/Sign-Out book, and runs to the Basketball
Court. After the runner finishes the upper loop, report back to the waterfront.
3. A second person, preferably not an LGT, will be instructed at the same time to get the other horn from the boat '
shed and run the lower loop around camp. The lower loop consists of Hilltop, Motel, Joel's Place, Cottage, ';
Lodge 6, the art barn, Lodge 8, Lodge 9,the tennis courts, the beach volleyball court, the softball field, the
upper soccer field, the lower soccer field, the archery range, the Leoj, and the campfire site. After the lower
loop is run, the runner should report back to the waterfront. :
4, Upon hearing the horns, all members of the camp community will proceed as quickly as possible to the
basketball court. One of the camp nurses will immediately bring the AED to the waterfront and assist as
necessary. As they arrive, bunk counselors will get their campers seated in a line and will quickly count the
number of campers present from their bunk to determine if all campers are present. Some bunks will have
both/all counselors taking part in the search and rescue at the waterfront. A Leader or other available staff
member will count the number of campers if all the bunk's counselors are not available. ;
5. Will or Sandy will supervise the operation at the basketball court. He or she will take the clipboard and the
walkie-talkie from the office and be responsible for communicating with the Leader at the waterfront. It is
EXTREMELY important that the waterfront personnel are notified IMMEDIATELY once everyone is accounted for,
or it is determined which camper is missing.

6. Janet McGill or a camp Leader will take a walkie-talkie from the office and any cell phone to the waterfront and 'i
be responsible for receiving messages from the basketball court and communicating them to the Waterfront �
Director, or the person in charge of the Search and Rescue procedures.
�
7. While this is taking place, all staff members who are LGT certified will immediately assemble at the waterfront to �
begin the Search and Rescue procedures. These procedures are to be led by the Waterfront Director or the '
person in charge of the waterfront.
8. Once the horn is blown and the waterfront is emptied, the Waterfront Director will assign the first LGT to check
underneath the two floating rafts in third crib. The next two LGTs are instructed to check underneath the
docks. All remaining LGTs will line up at the first crib rope and wait for further instructions from the WSI in '
charge. Search and Rescue will start differently if the missing person was checked into 3�d crib. During the '
entire Search and Rescue the Waterfront Director will have a rescue tube and be standing on the dock between
second and third cribs. This is to ensure the maximum safety of the LGTs.
9. At the command of the waterfront director, the LGTs will begin walking through the water, (this will be different �
if searching for missing person checked into 3�d crib) constantly scanning the bottom. Once the waterfront j
director feels that they are deep enough,the LGTs will do surface dives to the bottom, swim three strokes, and f
return to the surface. They should be scanning the bottom the entire time. All lifeguards should come up with �
their hands above their heads. Once they have reached the surface, they will stroke back to the shallowest !
person, and then take 2 additional strokes backwards. On the count of the waterfront director,the procedure
will continue:
a) All campers are accounted for at the basketball court; or '
b) A victim is discovered—at which point the leader, or the LGT who discovers the victim (if the LGT is not
too tired), will attempt an American Red Cross rescue; or
c) It is determined that the camper missing at the basketball court is the same one who is missing at the �

(i.e. fire evacuation.) Vehicles should carry only the number of passengers specified by the vehicle
manufacturer. There should be a seatbelt for each passenger. A staff inember (adult) must be present in each
vehicle. If traveling by bus, this is in addition to the driver. Extra staff and/or aides must be present for
campers with disabilities, based on ratios established for persons requiring additional assistance or
supervision. (See established camp ratios.)
Vehicle Safety Checks
Prior to transporting campers, the following must be checked:
_ lights _tires _ horn _windshield and wiper condition
_ brakes _ mirrors _ emergency warning systems
If any of these areas do not check out, either remedy the situation or do not take the vehicle. Report all '
vehicle problems to Greg Gorman.
Pre Trip Checks Before Using Camp Vehicles
• Check all tires for tread wear and proper pressure.
• Check to see that the spare tire is in the vehicle and is in good condition with all necessary equipment
to make a tire change.
• Check to see that a fully equipped first aid kit is in the vehicle.
. Check the gas gauge antl determine that all gauges, lights and equipment are functioning properly.
. Make sure lights, brakes, mirrors, horn, emergency flashers and windshield wipers all work.

TEL: 888.714.2267 E—MAIL: HEYCAMPOCQMPWK.COM
Passenger Orientation
Passengers should be instructed in the following safety procedures prior to transporting:
• Passengers should remain seated at all times with hands and arms inside vehicle.
• Seatbelts should be fastened — one person per seatbelt.
• Noise level should be such as to not distract the driver. There should be no throwing of objects or
other disruptive behavior. '
• Passengers should enter and leave the vehicle under the direction of a staff member and/or driver. If
the vehicle makes an emergency stop, passengers should follow directions of staff member and/or
driver and use buddy system if leaving the vehicle. '
Supervision Ratios
All camp trips with campers out of camp in a camp vehicle will have at least 2 counselors with the group.
For example, in a 15 passenger van, there could be up to 13 campers and 2 counselors, one of them driving.
In general, there should be a ratio of 1 to 8. Exceptions include short trips within the adjacent towns of
Yarmouth, Dennis, Barnstable and Brewster: for these short trips, there may be one tlriver for 10 campers if
circumstances are unusual and no other counselor is available. Otherwise, even for short trips there must be
an additional counselor in the van, in addition to the driver.
Driver Requirements
To transport campers or drive camp vehicles off the site, drivers must be 21 years of age and hold valid
vehicle operator's license for the size and type of camp vehicle, and have no moving violations for previous 18
months, verified by a background check through DMV.
Travel Procedures
Vehicles should be kept a safe distance apart if traveling together. It is not recommended that vehicles travel
by convoy. Drivers should pre-establish rest stops to check in with each other. All drivers should have
maps, complete directions to destination, and appropriate telephone numbers. One driver should be
appointed lead driver. On any trip, stops should be made only at acceptable rest stops. After three continuous
hours, the vehicle must stop to rotate or rest drivers and rest the passengers. AII traffic laws of the state are
to be strictly obeyetl when transporting campers antl staff.
Behind The Wheel Training ��,
If you are driving a vehicle that you normally do not drive, the camp director will evaluate and determine when I
additional behind-the-wheel training is required before transporting persons or equipment. (Includes training ',
in vans, camp trucks, buses, and vehicles pulling trailers.) '
Camper Behavior
In larger vehicles, behavior problems should always be the responsibility of adults or staff inembers other
than the driver. If the driver is the only staff inember available to handle disruptive behavior antl verbal
corrections are not successful, he/she should pull off the road in a safe area. Follow established camp
discipline procedures.

TEL: 888.714.2267 E-MQIL: HEYCAMPOCQMPWK.COM
Backing Up
Because you cannot see everything behind your vehicle, backing up is always dangerous. Avoitl backing up
whenever you can. When you park, try to park so you will be able to pull forward when you leave. When you
have to back, here are a few simple safety rules:
1. Look at your path.
2. Back slowly using your mirrors.
3. Back and turn toward the driver's side whenever possible.
4. Use a helper whenever possible.
Loading and Unloading Passengers
Load and unload in areas that are free from vehicular traffic unless an emergency. The vehicle should be in
park with the emergency brake on and the motor turned off. Loading and unloading will take place in an
orderly fashion following directions from staff member. Campers should be directed where to assemble after
unloading and kept under supervision of an adult.
Refueling
Always refuel before getting down to a quarter of a tank. The engine must be turned off to refuel. If
transporting campers, they are to remain in the vehicle. Do not allow unsupervised campers to leave the
vehicle for any reason.
Dealing with Passenger Illness
. Administer first aid as needed. Keep the camper comfortable.
. If you need to stop, try to do so in an authorized or designated area.
• Contact camp about the camper or return to camp as soon as possible and have the camper check in
with the Nurse.
Accident Procedures '
If a counselor or staff member is in an automobile accitlent, with or without campers in the vehicle, the first
priority is to ensure the health and safety of all involved. If there are any injuries to the driver or passengers,
call 9-1-1 (of if no phone is available then find a witness and ask him/her to call for help.)
If the accident is serious, with any injuries or substantial damage to the vehicles, do not hesitate to call the
police. However, if it is a fender-bender with no injuries and limited damage, the driver can simply exchange
insurance information with the other driver. In any case, do not admit any liability—try to remain calm and
objective, while providing and requesting the required information.
Each camp vehicle is equipped with the following:
• First Aid Kit
• List of Emergency Procetlures
• Emergency Phone Numbers
• Insurance Information
• Fire Extinguisher
• Reflectors
CAMP WINCQTE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMDUTH PORT, MA 0�675
TEL: 888.714.P267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
The reflectors should be used if there is any risk of the accident causing a dangerous situation for other
drivers or for your passengers. In case of a fire in the vehicle, do not try using the fire extinguisher. Just
move yourself and all campers as far from the automobile as possible. Likewise, any injuries should be
treated by professional health care and emergency care providers, rather than with the provided first aid kit.
The first aid kit is provided for minor injuries sustained out of camp, such as cuts, scrapes, bug bites, etc.
As soon as the situation is under control, call the camp at 508-362-3798 or Sandy & Will at 508-362-3799
and let us know exactly what happened, how everybody is, and what future actions are likely to be taken. If
possible, we will have a member of the Leadership Team or maintenance crew come to the site of the
accident.
Dealing with Vehicular Breakdown
1. Move off the road as far as possible. It's better to drive on a flat tire than park in an unsafe place.
2. Place the transmission in low, reverse or park. Turn off ignition and remove key.
3. Set the emergency brake.
4. Turn on the emergency/hazard blinking lights.
5. If vehicle must stop in nondesignated parking area (ie., the side of the road), carry reflective
triangles between yourself and the oncoming traffic when placing reflectors in the following places:
a. On the traffic side of the vehicle, within ten feet of the front or rear corners.
b. About 100 ft. behind and ahead of the vehicle, upon the shoulder of the lane you are stopped
in.
C. Back beyond any hill, curve, or other obstruction that prevents other drivers from seeing the
vehicle within 500 feet
d. If stopped on or by a oneway or divided highway, place warning devices 20 feet, 100 feet, and
200 feet toward the approaching traffic.
6. If safe to do so, unload passengers and move them well off the roadway away from the vehicle.
Make sure campers are supervised at all times by an adult. If evacuation from a bus is necessary,
follow established procedures and directions of the staff inember.
7. Contact camp with information about nature of the breakdown and your exact location. Atlditional
help may be requested if needed. One staff inember must stay with the vehicle and campers.
Tips for Driving the Camp Vans
1. There is an enormous blind spot in the rear view mirror. With children in the van, the rear view
mirror becomes even less useful. Use of the side view mirrors is essential to safe driving. Both
mirrors need adjustment before each trip—take the time to do this.
2. A van is heavier in the front than in the back. Therefore, when driving in the rain, the rear section
may hydroplane or skid. Extreme caution and slow speed minimizes this possibility.
3. A van is not as controllable as a car. A van corners poorly, so extra caution should be usetl on
entry and exit ramps.
4. When passengers are entering or leaving the vehicle, it should be in park and the engine should be
off.

Health Forms and Camp Trips
For Challenge trips, copies of health forms will be in the First Aid kit which accompany each trip. Any trip out
of Camp, whether by car or foot, that is in the town of Yarmouth, or the nearby towns of Barnstable, Brewster
or Dennis do not require health forms. All other trips require them. On all trips out of camp, a minimum of 2
staff inembers must be present, one of whom may be a CIT. All boating trips, no matter what town, require
health forms.
