SAFETY

• Each hotel room will be assigned a shepherd – you will need to

ensure your shepherd knows where you are located at all times – whose group you are part of and all session and activities you will be attending.

• Each event site will have a meeting location after all events; once

we arrive, we will also have an outside emergency location in case

• f an emergency or separation. For example a fire, meet by a tree
• r a certain side of the building or a lamppost in the parking lot.
• Personal safety in the city

• No leaving the hotel without an adult
• If you want to go to McDonalds’ you must take a shepherd and two
• ther youth members.
• We are there to be your guide – we will break out into group during

the evening activities and decide on up to 5 different locations with a group of at least 3 kids wanting to attend.

• No one wonders the hotel alone, the most important point is you

must take 2 friends with you at all times.

• Hydration is extremely important
• We will purchase several cases of water for the trip, it is extremely

important that everyone drinks plenty of water so no one experiences heat related issues.
