Your responsibilities as an Adult Leader at daycamp:
Explanation of "Daycamp Dens" and Packs
Assist Daycamp Staff in assuring that campers have a safe and fun-filled week!
Get them to the designated program areas
Keep the boys SAFE
Assist the boys with projects/events
Assist Program Managers in each area to keep the boys under control and focused.
Implement sign-in and sign-out procedures, DO NOT leave if all boys have not been picked-up, take them to headquarters if necessary
Report any difficulties to the Camp Director or Camp Administrator
Take all medical problems (even a scratch) to the Health and Safety Officer. Do not treat them yourself! This includes adult injuries.
Be aware of camp Emergency/Evacuation Procedures
Lunch time is NOT free time (you are still responsible for the boys in your Den)
Utilize BSA's Youth Protection Guidelines
Label Everything!! It's a good idea to bring a sharpie pen and some masking tape. Each den will be provided with a 5 gallon bucket to help carry the boys things.
At least one Adult in each Den needs to bring a cooler with ice for the boys lunches and water bottles. Wagons are a good idea for hauling around stuff.
Adults need to be a little early for each session, so you are there to check the boys in.
Daycamp Uniform: Camp T-shirts are to be worn everyday. Tennis shoes or hiking boots. Hats are a good idea. T-shirts are color coded as follows: Daycamp Staff - royal blue; Camp Medics - red; Adult Volunteers (this would be you) - light blue; Youth Volunteers - orange; Campers - turquoise; Siblings - bright green
You will have to pay $2.00 per day to O'Neill Park for parking.
Emergency/Evacuation Procedures:
Information from the Camp Health and Safety Officer: John O'Keeffe
The Medical Station is located next to Headquarters across from the Gathering Area

In the event of a medical emergency, have the Program Manager radio the medic, they will come to you.
On the first day of Camp, each Den will receive a clipboard with the following information:

Rules of the Range (APPLY TO EVERYONE NOT JUST THE CAMPERS!)
