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.
Uneven or hazardous seating arrangements
— Ensure picnic blankets, chairs, and seating areas are set up on flat, stable ground. Check for and clear away any sharp objects or debris that could cause injury. Provide portable seating for those who require additional support.
Inadequate hand hygiene before eating

Overexertion during physical activities
— Encourage participants to pace themselves during physical activities and take frequent breaks. Provide plenty of water and ensure access to rest areas. Monitor for signs of overexertion and adjust the schedule to include lighter activities if needed.
