CAMP WINGATE �* KIRKLAND CAMPER DISCIPLINE POLICY
Basic Princi I{�es
■ 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.
CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675
TEL: 888.714.�267 E-MAIL: NEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
■ 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.
Policy
■ Under no circumstances may a counselor hit or strike a child.
■ 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.
■ The purpose of the mandated reporting law.
■ A report of abuse is based on suspicion of abuse, rather than proven abuse.
■ Summary of procedure — time frame, reporting agency, providing the information
requested.
■ Penalty for not reporting.

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 and 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 instructed 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.
Natural Disasters (Flood, Lightning, Wildfire, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.)
In the event that we can predict the possibility of a natural disaster, IMII 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.
CAMP WINCATE*KIRKLQND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YQRMOUTH PORT, MQ OP675
TEL: 888.714.2267 E-MAII: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
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
�
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 WINGATE * KIRKLAND 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 and
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 informed of this meeting.
Step Six: If the camper's behavior does not change significantly, there will be a second 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 WINCATE � KIRKLAND EMERGENCY 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.
CQMP WINCATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675
TEL: 888.714.2267 E—MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
6. Janet McGill or a camp Leader will take a walkie-talkie from the office and any cell phone to the waterfront and
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 3rd 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 3rd crib) constantly scanning the bottom. Once the waterfront
director feels that they are deep enough, the LGTs will do surface dives to the bottom, swim three strokes, and
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
waterfront. If this is the case, the Yarmouth Rescue Squad will be called immediately by the lanet McGill
or a camp Leader at the waterfront, or if necessary by the office.
10.In the case of a potential neck and spinal injury, the most qualified lifeguards will initiate the procedures
outlined by the American Red Cross. If the lifeguard feels any hesitation about securing the victim to the
backboard, he or she should wait for the Yarmouth Rescue Squad to arrive. In this scenario, the victim should
remain immobilized in the water.
11 .Once everyone is accounted for at the basketball court, the procedure will end and the waterfront director will
debrief campers and counselors at the basketball court.
12,This procedure will be revised, reviewed, and rehearsed at least once during staff orientation week, and twice
during the summer.

Massachusetts SORI checks are conducted on everybody who has ever lived,worked in, or visited the United States. For candidates
who live or attend school in states outside Massachusetts,we do whatever is required by the home state to check his/her name
against its Sexual Offender Registry Board database.
With the exception of a few overseas candidates,each prospective counselor is interviewed face-to-face. If face-to-face interviews
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 and BUNAC) conducts background checks on all of the counselors that they place.
Policies for Returning Staff
All returning,seasonal staff members complete CORI and SORI Request Forms and Voluntary Disclosure Statements. The above
background check procedures also apply to returning staff members.
Performance evaluations from past summers are also kept in each staff member's file. If counselors spend any summers away from
camp,additional references are checked prior to their return.

CAMP WINGATE KIRKLAND TRANSPORTATION POLICY
Emergency Equipment/Forms
Every vehicle used to transport campers and staff should be equipped with a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and
emergency accessories including reflectors, maps, change for a pay phone. For trips outside the neighboring
towns of Barnstable, Brewster, Dennis and Yarmouth, the staff member accompanying the group must carry health
forms for all passengers and a cell phone for emergency communication. A rental agreement or vehicle
j registration, insurance information, vehicle safety maintenance checklist, and this sheet should be in the vehicle at
all times.
Vehicle Type/Capacity
Campers and staff 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, 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 and determine that all gauges, lights and equipment are functioning properly.
• Make sure lights, brakes, mirrors, horn, emergency flashers and windshield wipers all work.
CAMP WINCATE*KIRKIAND 79 WHITE flOCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675
TEL: 888J14.2267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
• To get gas, ask the 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
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 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
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. All traffic laws of the state are to be strictly obeyed
when transporting campers and 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
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
CAMP WINCQTE*KIRKLANO 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MQ 02675
TEL: 888.714.2267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
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 member 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
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
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 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, 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 Procedures
CAMP WINCQTE*KIRKLQND 79 WNITE ROCK ROQD YQRMOUTH PORT, MA 02675
TEL: 888.714.��67 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
• 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.
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 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 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.
CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAO YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675
TEL: 888.714.2�67 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
3. A van is not as controllable as a car. A van corners 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.
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
� members must be present, one of whom may be a CIT. All boating trips, no matter what town, require health
forms.

CAMP WINGATE * KIRKLAND WATERFRONT DIRECTOR
�
The Camp Wingate*Kirkland Waterfront during the 2016 summer will be under the direction of Jenny Murran. Jenny is
certified in Water Safety Instruction, Lifeguard Guard and CPR.
The Waterfront Director is responsible for planning, directing and supervising the Camp's waterfront program. The number
one goal of the Waterfront Director, at all times, and regardless of any other demands on his or her time, is the safety of
every camper and staff member in relation to waterfront activities. The importance of this primary goal cannot be
emphasized enough.
Other responsibilities include helping the winter staff with recruitment and training of waterfront staff,teaching waterfront
staff their responsibilities for the summer regarding instruction and general swim times;teach staff and campers the rules
and regulations of the waterfront including the use of the Buddy Board; teach staff and campers, by lecture and
demonstration,the Camp's emergency procedures; teach staff and campers the proper use of waterfront equipment
including life preservers and boats; check all waterfront equipment daily for safety, cleanliness and good repair.
In addition,the Waterfront Director is has overall responsibility to set up and oversee the instructional swim program at the
Camp. This includes the initial placement within 24 hours of campers' arrival, assigning swim groups and instructors,
keeping records on progress and recognizing achievements publicly. In addition,the Waterfront Director is responsible for
the development and evaluation of the aquatic teaching abilities of the waterfront staff.
In addition the Waterfront Director is responsible to be familiar with all ACA Standards that relate to the aquatic activities,
both in and out of Camp, and to make sure we are in compliance at all times with each Standard. If the Camp is not in
compliance,the Waterfront Director's responsibility is to remedy the situation immediately or to inform the Camp directors
right away.
The waterfront is especially risky during general swim times and the Waterfront Director is responsible to follow all
waterfront regulations to ensure camper and staff safety. If at any time,the Waterfront Director feels that there is
inadequate supervision or faulty procedures, he or she should immediately consult with the Camp Directors.
The Waterfront Director is responsible for ensuring that the waterfront area is neat and clean at all times. Given the high
risk in the waterfront area, it is vital to have a neat waterfront to project an image of order and safety. The waterfront
should be clean and organized before closing it each day. This includes the docks, boats, boathouse supplies and anything
else found in the waterfront. Any environmental or other hazards should always be eliminated immediately or managed
according to agreed upon procedures.
The Waterfront Director reports to Sandy&Will Rubenstein, Camp Directors.

BUDDY BOARD
Camp Wingate*Kirkland utilizes a buddy board system to verify non swimmers and at-risk
swimmers a�the waterfront.
Every camper and staff will have a buddy tag containing their name, bunk, swimming crib
and boatit�g.designation.
Before entering the water for any reason, camper must hand their buddy tag to a Certified
Waterfront Staff who will place the#ag on the active Buddy Board._ This communicates to
the lifeguards exactly how many people are supposed to be in the water at any given time.
Staff must pface their tags on the active Buddy Board as well when entering the waterfront.
Upon exiting the water, campers will ask a counselor or CIT to remove their buddy tag from
��`� �� the active Buddy Baard. Campers do not remove their own tags.
�
.a=
This procedure applies for all aquatic activities—including swimming,boating, nature and
any other activities being done on the waterfront—during both instructional and general
swim times.
After campers and staff have completed their swim assessment, their designated level and
crib are marked on the back of their tag. Specific colored buddy tags are assigned to easily
identify non-swmliners and a# risk swimmers.
� Yellow: Overnight Campers
Blue: Day Campers _
Orange: Staff & CITs
Grey: At Risk Swimmers
Lavender: Non Swimmers
When campers are not in the water, their tags are stored on the inactive Buddy Board.

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 othe�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 offensive 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#he 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.

CAMP WINGATE �KIRKLAND HEALTH CARE POLICIES � PROCEDURES
SUPERVISION

Camp Nurse, Mary Cowell, is a licensed RN in the state of Massachusetts. The Camp Nurse will administer health
care to all campers and staff within the camp community. The Assistant Nurse and our part time nurses, will be on
duty when Sue Roach is not available.
The Camp Nurse will be available for assistance in planning and assessing the health care needs of campers and
staff according to the Rules and Regulations of the township.
RECORDS
All campers and seasonal staff will have completed and submitted a Camp Health Examination Form to the Camp
Nurse prior to or on the first day of the camping season. The Camp Nurse(s) will maintain the Daily Health Center
records in our Camp database.
At the end of each summer, all camper and staff health forms and other related history are stored on a hard drive
and moved to the Director's house for long term storage. All medications are sent home with the campers.
MEDICAL LOG BOOK
There will be two separate logs, one for staff and one for campers. Each log will contain the names of campers
and staff with a statement of their chief complaint as stated to the nurse and the action taken by the nurse. There
will also be a separate log to record the daily prescription medications for all campers and staff. Documentation on
individual camper health issues/visits will be maintained in the database and password protected from all but the
Nursing staff and Directors.
MEDICAL STORAGE
All Health Center supplies and equipment will be stored in the Health Center, which is located next door to the Camp
Office. All medications, prescription and non-prescription,will be locked at all times in a clean, dry place. At the

again will be working with CampMeds Inc. to provide the convenient service of dispensing, packaging and shipping
medications directly to our camp this summer. CampMeds is a service that pre-packages medications for Camp and
saves our nurses from spending unnecessary hours each day sorting campers' medications so that they can focus
on their primary role, tending to the health and wellness of the camp community. Camp Wingate*Kirkland's policy
and procedure for dispensing and administering medicine requires camp families to have all of your child's
medicine in pill form dispensed, pre-packaged and sent to Camp prior to their arrival.

CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION PLAN
COMMUNICATION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
In the case of an in-Camp emergency, the staff at the site of the accident will send the oldest camper to notify the
Camp nurse. The nurse is�then responsible for contacting the rescue squad or designating someone to contact
them, and for notifying the Camp director or person in charge at the time.
In the case of an out-of-Camp emergency, the staff at the site of the accident will notify the comm.unity rescue
service (meaning dial 9-1-1), if necessary, and then contact the Camp Director at 888.714.2267 or person in
charge who will make the necessary arrangements for providing health record and release statement for medical
treatment and the safe return to Camp for all others at the site.
The Camp Director is responsible for contacting the parents or guardian. The Camp director is also responsible for
contacting law enforcement officials if necessary. Only the Camp Director will deal with the Media, after consultation
and A.M. Skier Insurance representatives.
These steps are also clearly outlined in the Camps Crisis Response Plan. Specific sections have been included in
the attached pages.
Injury or Other Emergency on Out-of-tamp Trip
All groups that leave camp will be equipped with a cell phone. In any emergency, call 9-1-1 and tell them where
you are and what happened. If the Camp has not already been notified, then call the office as soon as possible.
At camp, the applicable parts of the following procedure should be put in effect.
1. The Director or Assistant Director should carefully document all information on the Emergency Response
Checklist (see Appendix A). Accuracy is crucial here. Always have the checklist available at The Office, The
Directors Home, Redwood and the Health Center.
2. Sibling and Family Support at Camp (if applicable)
A director or the assistant director should designate a member of the Leadership Team to tell the sibling and/or
other relatives, in a private setting what happened and stay with the child as lon�as necessarv The sibling may
speak to his/her parents after the directors have had contacted them.

TEL: 888.714.2267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
3, Contact Parents/Guardians
The Camp directors should call the parents of the involved child. This phone call should take place from the
� directors home. If the database is not operational on the directors home computer, then a member of the
Leadership Team should obtain the name and phone number from the emergency number section of the camper's
Health Examination Form in the Health Center.
Call the parents and tell them what happened. Offer to help with arrangements for parents to travel to the hospital
or Camp. Also make arrangements for someone from Camp to meet the parents at the hospital. Consider making
reservations for comfortable accommodations in advance of the parents' arrival in the area.
** If the incident occurs off-Cape, one of the directors will to go to the scene and can meet the parents there.
4. Call AM Skier Camp ALERT Network 1-800-226-1666
5. Establish Emergency Headquarters
Designate either the office or the directors home as the Emergency Headquarters, and keep all other activities
away from this location.
Select which member(s) of the office staff and/or Leadership Team will handle all incoming phone calls. They must
use the phone log book (see Appendix L) to document all phone calls
After the Leadership Team meets, the office staff or Leadership Team may be asked to call designated families. If
so, use the prepared Phone CaII Scripts (Appendix C).
The camp's designated spokesperson for all other outside sources will be (in this order of preference): the
directors or assistant director
6. Mobilize the Leadership Team and Staff
Convene the Leadership Team, tell them what happened and assign responsibilities. Review plan for speaking with
staff and campers. Identify high-risk campers.
Meet with the entire staff. The meeting will focus on providing accurate information, dealing with their own
reactions and preparing them for their work as they support campers and other staff members. Hand out
"Counselor's Support of Campers" (Appendix L) and "Trauma Reactions / Behaviors" (Appendix M).
7. Assess Range of Care Needs for the Following Groups
. individuals directiv involved in the event (injured parties, family members, and those were present at the
incident) —determine whether or not to bring the rest of the Challenge group(s) back to camp
. individuals indi_re� involved in the event (bunkmates and close friends)
. the rest of the camp community
. Determine the level of intervention needed. A.M. Skier's Camp ALERT Network will help. Assistance is available
both from within and outside the camp community.

TEL: 888.714.2267 E-MQIL: HEYCAMPOCQMPWK.COM
8. Contact Parents/Guardians of Other Campers
The directors will decide if and haw we want to communicate with parents. All decisions and materials will be
reviewed by our insurance company and attorney.
Dealina With the Media
1. Review the following materials and them fax them to the media
. Press Release
. General Information about Wingate Kirkland
. Driving Directions
2. Before a director meets with media, remember ...
. The media may not come onto our property (private land) without our permission
. Everyone needs to be reminded that all inquiries should be directed to the directors only
. Meet with the Leadership Team to identify and discuss the important information we want to convey to the
public
3. Preparation for press conference
. Rope off the visitor parking lot.
. Daria should post four older staff members at the camp entrances to greet the media if they arrive
unexpectedly. If the press conference has not yet occurred, direct them to it. If it has occurred, have
them wait in the parking lot and see if a director is available to speak with them.
. Greeters should be friendly; and if asked questions, say only one of the directors are allowed to speak with
the press.
. Tell all campers and staff ahead of time why it is best for only the directors to talk to the media. We do not
want to send mixed messages and offend any involved parties.
. [Include bullet points for meeting with staff so that the directors has these reasons handy.]
. The assistant director, along with members of the leadership team, should roam the bunk areas to calmly
and tactfully remind campers and staff not to talk to the media.
4. During the media meeting, remember ...
. Respect their need to report events in a way that (we hope) will be fair and accurate.
. Avoid speculation about the event (avoid names and hometowns).

S�eaking with the Media
Some emergencies will generate media coverage. You can't always prevent coverage, but you can lessen the
negative impact by responding quickly and honestly.
In general:
. Respect deadlines. If you can't speak to a reporter, ask what the deadline is and make sure you call him/her
back.
. Don't be confrontational. Stay calm and in control at all times.
. Don't arouse media suspicion by saying "no comment" or refusing to return calls.
. Communicate what you know and tell reporters what you don't know.
When interviewed:
. Stick with the key points.
. Never lie; be truthful and cooperative.
. Don't speculate; stay with the facts.
. Be careful of leading questions. '
. Never go "off the record". There really is no such thing; anything you say can be quoted.
. If you can't discuss certain details, explain why.
When dealing with television crews:
. If your camp is on private property and you're in the middle of an emergency, you can ask them to leave.
Remember to calmly explain why and be polite. Plan a time to call them later.
. If you feel forced into an on-camera interview, ask if you can talk to the reporter off camera first. Use this
time to explain the situation calmly and try to set parameters for the interview.
. Remember that television works with 10-20 second sound bytes, so prepare your key points in short
statements that fit this format.

CHILD 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.
Policy
• Under no circumstances may a counselor hit or strike a child.
• 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.
Per the Prohibitions Stated in CMR 430.191 b, Camp Wingate*Kirkland strongly enforces staff shall not:
• No corporal punishment, no hitting of any kind.
• No cruel punishment, verbal abuse or humiliation
• No denial of food or shelter.
• No punishment for wetting the bed

CAMP WINGATE * KIRKLAND 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 and
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 informed of this meeting.
Step Six: If the camper's behavior does not change significantly, there will be a second 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 WATERFRONT PROCEDURES
1 . The waterfront is completely off-limits unless a person or persons with
WSI, LGT, CPR and first aid certifications is/are present and the
waterfront gate is open.
2. Campers must only enter the waterfront area through the main gate.
3. No camper can enter the water for any purpose unless a lookout is
present and attentive in the lookout tower.
4. All campers will be tested on the first day of programming to determine
his/her swimming ability. This placement is only to be done by certified
WSIs.
5. Every camper will, after crib placement, have a buddy tag with his/her
name, bunk, crib placement and boating designations on it. Before
entering the water for any reason, a camper must hand his/her buddy tag
to a staff member who will place the tag on the active buddy board. This
is to let the lifeguards determine how many people are supposed to be in
the water at any given time. Upon exiting the water, campers will ask a
counselor to remove his/her buddy tag from the active buddy board.
Campers do not remove their own tags. This procedure applies for all
aquatic activities — including swimming, boating, nature and any other
`activities being done on the waterfront — during both instructional and
general swim times.
6. The waterfront should close immediately at the first sign of thunder or
lightning.

CAMP WINGATE * 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.
CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROQO YAHMOUTH PORT, MQ 02675
TEL• 888.714.2267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMP�CQMPWK.COM
6. Janet McGill or a camp Leader will take a walkie-talkie from the office and any cell phone to the waterfront and
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 3rd crib) constantly scanning the bottom. Once the waterfront
director feels that they are deep enough, the LGTs will do surface dives to the bottom, swim three strokes, and
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
waterfront. If this is the case, the Yarmouth Rescue Squad will be called immediately by the Janet McGill
or a camp Leader at the waterfront, or if necessary by the office,
� 10.In the case of a potential neck and spinal injury, the most qualified lifeguards will initiate the procedures
outlined by the American Red Cross. If the lifeguard feels any hesitation about securing the victim to the
backboard, he or she should wait for the Yarmouth Rescue Squad to arrive. In this scenario, the victim should
remain immobilized in the water.
11 .Once everyone is accounted for at the basketball court, the procedure will end and the waterfront director will
debrief campers and counselors at the basketball court.
12.This procedure will be revised, reviewed, and rehearsed at least once during staff orientation week, and twice
during the summer.

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 and 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
de endin on the location of th '
p g e fire). In addition, someone will be instructed to continuousl rin the bell at
Y 9
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.
Natural Disasters (Flood, Lightning, Wildfire, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.)
ln 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.
CAMP WINCQTE*KfRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MQ 02675
TEL: 888.714,�267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM
r
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 witl 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
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 W*K SWIM TEST POLICY � PROCEDURES
All campers and staff must demonstrate their swim skill in a "crib test" during their first 24 hours of
attendance at Camp. (See crib test on next page). All swim tests must be conducted by Red Cross
certified Water Safety Instructors (WSI); all WSI's at Camp W*K are also trained and certified Red Cross
lifeguards.
Any campers or staff who refuse to participate in crib placement will automatically be classified as a "non
swimmer," and may not participate in waterfront activities with or without a PFD.
Swim tests at Camp W*K are comprised of three distinct components. The first, crib placement,tests
� swimmers endurance. Swimmers must demonstrate their ability to swim long distances and perform
essential life saving techniques, including treading water and the survival float. Swimmers are then
classified based on their abilities into either first, second, or third crib. Crib placements are recorded by
the staff member performing the assessment, and written on the campers "buddy tag" for easy
identification. Only third crib swimmers may participate in boating activities.
,-,�,
,
�.����>
' The second component of the assessment tests swimmers competency level in various different strokes.
Swimmers are assessed and then classified by level pursuant to Red Cross standards outlined in the Red
Cross water safety instructor's manual.
All crib plaeements, Red Cross-swimming levels, and PFD sizes will be recorded by the WSI's performing
the assessment, which will then be compiled into a master list by the waterfront director. Copies of this list
will be kept on file, with the waterfront staff, and in the boat shed at the waterfront, to be used as needed
by staff.
For aquatics activities run outside of camp, a complete list of participants with their swim skill level must
be included with the group. When the group arrives on-site a counselor on duty must assess location for
safety and environmental hazards and risks. There must be a certified life guard present. There must be
no more than 10 campers swimming per counselor on duty. If there are more than 10 campers
swimming, use a buddy system with checks. If there is an emergency, follow normal out-of-camp
emergency procedures. Any campers or staff classified as "at risk swimmers" must wear a PFD for
aquatics activities outside of Camp. Any campers or staff classified as "non swimmers" may not
_�
participate in aquatics activities outside of Camp.

N�assac�iusetts Department of Public Health
Gui�dance for.Implementittg Regulation 1 QS CMR 432.000
May 12, 2Q 17 �
Based on Massachusetts Generat Law(M.G.L.)c. 1 I 1, §127A%x,commonly referred to as"Christian°s I.aw",
and the Massachusetts Departmen�E af Public Health's(Department}previaejsly issued guidance un Christian's
La.w,the Department has promuigated regulation 105 CMR 432.000:"Minimum Requimements for Personal
Flotatian Devices for Minor Children at Municipal and Recreational Programs and Camps",effective May 5,
2017. The law and regutations only apply to swirnming or diving areas at marine or freshwater beaches and
explicitly exclude swi.mming pools,wading poals,and other artificial bodies of water. In addition,the
Department is issuing this guidance document to support complianee with the regulation,ta provide associated
best practiees and to help assist municipal and recreational programs and carnps implementing provisions of the
regulation.
According to M.G.L. c. 111, §127A%,all municipal and recreational programs and Iicensed cat�nps must:
1) Determine each minor's swimming ability prriar to allowing participatioz�in swimming aot�vities;
2) Make ava,ilable properly sized and snug fittuig Type I,II,or III personal flotation dev�ces(PFD)
to a11 minor cbiildren who have been determined to be a non-swimmer or at-risk swimmer; and
3) Accept a PFD provided by a parent or guardian of a rainor for the rtunor tu use while in attendance
at the program or camp.
Swim Abilitv Determin�tion:
Ghristian's Law, in part,rec�uiz�es that municipal and recreational programs and licensed caznps determine each
participating minor's swinuning ability,privr to or at the first swimming session, in order to identi�'y and classify
non-swirtuners aud at-risk swimmers. If municipal and z�creation.al programs and licensed camps determine that ,
all participants are assumed to be non-swimmers, and ensure properly fitting PFDs are available to a11 zxunors
engaged in swimming activities wi.thin areas classified for non-sw�xr�mers,then swi.m tests are not required.
• Based on input from water safety professionals,individuals whQ do not meet criteria for a R�d Czoss Level
3 swim rating or a YMCA Minnow shall be classified as a"non-swimmez"and individuals w�.o may or
may not Yzave met the critexaa foz a Red Cross Level 3 swixn rating or the YMCA Minnow,but have been
determined to have a physical,psychalogical,medical,or cognitive disability that cautd negatively irr��act
his or her swimming ability, shall be classified as an"at-risk swimmex".
• All minors, including progra�m or camp participants, staff,voluuteers, and Counselors in Train�ing(CI'I�,
need to be swim tested, at a minimum once per sunamer,to deterniine swimming ability.
• In accordance with the regulations,swim tests shall be conducted ar overseen by a trained Certified Swim
Instructor(CSI�that holds approgriate certifieat�ans from a nationally recognized svv�m instructor program,
such as the Aznerican Red Czoss(ARC}or the YMCA, o�r a�a eqtuvalent certificate,as determined by the
� Departcnent. A lxfeguazd rnaintaining current requirements as outlined in the regulations may also conduct
' swim tests as a Swim Assessor if they have previously observed one and participated in one annual swim
test trainin�conducted hy a CSI.
• Swim testing needs ta be conducted at the same vr a camparable location to w}aere the swimmin.g activities
will occur unless the municipal and recreational pragram or licensed camp p�rovzdes ded'zcated Xx�egua�rds at
the marine of freshwater beach where swimming wi��occur, in whieh case swim testing may be conducted
at a swimnrii�n.g paol priar to the s��rimming activities.
• Swim tests must be conducted under close supervision and without the use af a PFD. If a parent or
guardian provides a PFD for their child,the muzxicipal and recreation program ar licensed camp should
confirm witk�the parent or guardian,priar to any swim testing,that this testing will be conducted without
the use af the P�D.
• The Deparhnent has crea.ted the"Srvim and Fit Test Model Documentadon Form"as an optian for the
operators to document and track swim testing an.d PFD fit tests.Th�form provides for indi.vidua.�ized
documenfiation for each minor being�wijn and fit tested?ar who has been provided a PFD from a parent or
guardian,and xs available an the Department's website.
Xdenti�vinE Non-Swimmers and At-Risk Swimmers
Non-swimmers and at-risk swi.mm�rs n�ed ta be identifzed wk�enever they are at a swimming or diving area,in
accordance with 105 CNIR.432.400(A)(8}. Below are several e�amples of how municipal and recreational
prograrns or licensed camps may choase to accornplish this:
• Providing colored wrist bands that are not easily transferred between each child to identify their swimming
ability;or
• Pzaviding non-toxic,waterproof,temporary tattoos with U.S. Food 8i Drug Administration(FDA)
certification for dyes/colorants and compliance witk�Consumer Product and Safety Commission(CPSC}
and America.� Society of Testing Materials(ASTM)requirements;
o Temporary tattoos that are digitally printed(with computer inks) on temporary tattoo trausfer
papex and Henna-based temporary tattoas should not be used; oz
• Any other methad including swi.m markers designed with FDA compliarit,toxic-fre�cosmetic ingredients
which allows for an easy identification ta differez�txate between non-swimmers,at-risk swimmers and other
classifted swiznmers;
o Alcohol-based skin ink hand stamps should not be used.
The identification process should be clearly o�tlined a�nd documented in the municipal and recreational program
ar licensed camp's pvlieies and pracedures.
Conf nement to Dedicated Swimmin�Areas
Christian's Law requires municipal and recreational progza�nns and licensed camps to ensure all participants,
including non-swi.nnmers and at-risk swimmers that are either determined through a swirn test or designated as
�uch lay the program or cazzlp operator, as we��as minors whose parents or guardians have provided a PFD for
their ch�ld,be confined to swimming areas consistent with the limits of their s«rirr�ming skills or to svuimnLing
areas requiring lesser skills than those for which they have b�n classified. All swimming areas sha111ae
permitted and meet the requirernents of regulation ].OS CMR 445A00: Mi.nimum Standards far Bathin�Beaches
(State Sazaitax'y Code,Chapter Vii).
• In order to praperly identify confinement areas at the swimming site,the Department suggests that the
municipal and recreational program or licensed camp operator create a waterfront site plan for
identification and training purposes. This site plan should include all natural and artificial baxriers and
boundaries of the swimming or diving area,including Uut not limited to rocks,trees,drop-offs,buoys,
ropes,docks,diving board platforms,and slides,which should cleazly outline the areas in which specified
swimmers, non�swimmers and at-risk swirnmers have access.This site plan may be po5ted at the swimming
or diving area,utilized as part af sta.ff arientatians,and maintained.with other recards in accordance with
105 CMR 432.004.
• Additionally,the Department suggests eaeh municipal and recreational program and licensed carnp
consider implem.enting a"buddy system"far a11 minors who are�aarticipata.n.g in swimming or diving
activities.
o A buddy system is desi�ned to pair or teaan-up two pec�ple,refe�d to as"buddies",to stay
together and be responsible for keeping track of each ather, as well as let someone know if either
needs assistance or can't be located while at the waterfro�i.The buddies act as a single unit in
order to monitor and help each other during swunming or diving activities.
o Buddies shau�d be tea�med up based on similar swimming ability; it is not advisable to team up a
swimmer with a non-swimmer or at-risk swimmer.
o A"buddy eheck"should be performed approximately every l5 minutes.After a designated signal
like blowing a whistle, all swimming or diving should stop and each minor then instructed to go '
ta their established buddy, stand in the water, and hold their buddies hand high in the air while
the lifeguard and ather counselors ensure everyone is accounted for. Once the count is confirmed
swimming ox diving may resume.
• The Department recommends contacting marine b�aeh aperatars to inquire about existiz�,g loca�b3��aws,
ordinances,or regulations prohibiting the use of PFDs due to water current,and undertow concerns, prior to
scheduiing any swimming activities.
�nsurin�PFDs are Made Available:
Christian's Law requires that municipal and recreational programs and licensed camps have a system in place to
make PFDs available to nan-swimmers and at-risk swimmers,and requires programs and camps to accept a PFD
fram a parent or legal guardian for th�eir child to use when these programs or Izcensed camps conduct swimming
or waterfront activities at fresh or saltwater beaches.
• Uperators of municipal a�nd reczeatianal programs and licensed caxnps xn.ay mainta.in their own inventory of
PFDs or have them provided by a beach operatox,in which case the program operatQr must secure a written
agreement for the amount and the condition of the PFDs.
• The PFDs should be accessibl�foc staff to distribute to participax�ts at�r en-route to the swimming or
diving area and oniy after a determination has be�n made on swimming ability.
• All PFDs, ineluding those provided by a garent or guazdian,need to be U.S. Coast Guard(USCG)certified
according to type(�,II,III),size,and buoyancy,in servzceable condition and properly fitted to each
i�dividuat prior to b�ing used for the first time.
o A FFU sh�ll not have rips,tears,holes,visible mold ar mildew odor,signs of wa:terloggix�g,
damagad seams,straps or hardware,or any shrinkage or leaks ian buQyant material.
o All PFDs maintaitned on-site during the season should be stored in an area with adcquate natural
or ra�chanical ventilation,in order to ensure a proper drying process between use. Once the
season is over,the PFDs should be thoroughly dried and then stared in an area where they are
maintained dry until the fallowing season.
o The serviceable eondition of each PFD must be inspected annually,preferahly at the beginnix�g or
end of the season prior to off-season storage,however it is recommended tha.t more frequent
inspeetions are conducted with a procedute in pla.ce�or properly disposing any that are not
determined to be in serviceable condition.
o Information on the types of PFDs,size selection, and tips for determining&maiz�taitung a PFD in
serviceable condition are available directly from the USCG website at;

[All spaces represent an underscore character"_"in the website address.]
• When a FFD is used by a minor, either when one is provided by a program or camp or when one is dropped
off by a parent or legal guardian,trained staff at municipal and recreational pragrams and licensed camps
shall ensure the PFD is properly sized according to manufacturer's guidelines for height and wei�ht,
securely fastened and assessed for a proper fit prior ta each swimming activity.
� The Department recoznmends that all staff be trained for PFD fit testing by reviewing the short guidantic.e
video provided by the Department with assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and Massachusetts
P�urks/Depart�naent of Conservation&Recreations.A link to the video can be found at the website below:

• Non-swimmers,at-risk swimmers,and participants whose parents or legal guardians have provided a PFD
for their chi.�d and are aware of the conditions,do not need to wear a PFD during closely supervised swim
tests, swimming lessons,and other ciosely supervaised r�on-swimming beach waterfront activities,including
wading in shallow water where the water depth is less than iwo feet;however a PFD shuuld be worn for all
other swimming activities,and whenever minors are on a dock. "Closely supervised,"non-swimmin�
activities should be supervised by adults at a ratio of one adult far every five minors below a�e 7 and at a
ratio of one to 10 for all minors age 7 and abave.
• A PFD should never be worn during any diving activities.
� A�participant should not be allowed to swim if a parent or guardian provides a PFD that does not fit
properly or is not in serviceable condition and permission should be provided by the parent or guardian
before an alternative PfiD is issuai.
• The Department has also created the"Regulatian 105 CMR�32.000—Guidance ChecklisY'which is
availabte on the Department's website,to assist all stakeholders with meeting the overall requirements af
the rcgulations.
