Typical hazards & measures
Overeating leading to discomfort

Sunburn
— Provide ample shaded areas or tents for participants to sit under. Encourage the use of sunscreen (SPF 30+), hats, and sunglasses. Offer regular reminders to reapply sunscreen, especially after sweating or swimming.
Participants with additional needs
— Collect information on participants' additional needs in advance. Ensure all activities are accessible and provide necessary accommodations such as ramps, alternative seating, or sensory-friendly spaces. Assign staff to support these participants individually if necessary, and include them fully in all activities.
Inadequate supervision of participants
— Ensure an appropriate ratio of adults to participants for supervision. Assign specific adults to smaller groups to maintain close supervision and clear communication.
Wildlife interference
— Store food in sealed containers and dispose of trash immediately. Do not feed local wildlife, and educate participants about maintaining a safe distance. Have procedures in place for handling wildlife encounters.
