Hike Leader

The hikes start at 1:30 pm at the flag pole near the rec hall and last until 3:45 pm.

The hike leader's assignments include:

• The hikes start at 1:30 pm at the flag pole near the rec hall and last until 3:45 pm.
• Plan hikes beforehand. They cannot be longer than 2 hours. Please be sure to be back at the beginning of the free time as some parents of younger kids are waiting for them to go to the pool or other places together.
• The group leaders are supposed to go with their group to the hike. In case the group leaders are not there, ask the camp or education director to get them.
• Hike with the groups. It's best to have a designated "last person" to keep the group together. Make sure there is also a responsible person in front, because those who go ahead can get separated from the group.
• Take a head count before beginning the hike and after the end. This can be done by asking the group leaders to count their group members, including themselves, and reporting to the hike leader.
• If the hike goes to a place where kids can play in the water (stream or waterfall), ask the camp director to make an announcement before lunch so the kids can wear their swim suits and bring a towel, if they like.
• If cars are needed to transport kids for the hike, ask the camp director to make an announcement before lunch on the day on the hike. Be there during the announcement, so volunteers can talk to you right away.
• If cars are used to transport people to the beginning of the hike, ask everyone to come back in the same car as they left. Have a head count in case you need it in the middle of the hike. Also, make sure all of the drivers know where to go, or that the lead driver drives slow enough.
• Take a simple medical kit along, even if it is just some gauze pads and bandages. Also, bring a well charged cell phone or make sure another person has one. Have the cell phone number of the camp director.
