Roles and responsibilities of Teachers, Group Leaders, and Adult Helpers

Leaders of the rental group are responsible to:

• Collect and be familiar with medical & permission forms for each participant.
• Inform camp staff of any special needs of your class. Being aware of these problems will assist the staff in planning the program and handling problems that may occur. This includes physical limitations, ADD, and ADHD.
• Provide a basic first aid kit to deal with minor cuts and miseries. Collect and distribute any medications required by the participants.
• Provide additional assistance for children with special needs.

Supervision and Assistance
During your stay, the Lumsden Beach Camp staff assists your group by acting as hosts and providing program leadership. Our staff are well trained and qualified to lead and conduct the programs offered. It is important to remember that the safety, well being, and disciplining of the participants is the responsibility of the group's teachers or leaders for the duration of your stay. We expect that any behavior that may be injurious/harmful/disrespectful to people, property, or wildlife will be immediately checked by the adult leaders in the group.  Furthermore, the teachers direct participation in the program can make the difference towards a successful experience for the students. Your assistance is much appreciated and expected.

Special consideration should be given to providing supervision in the evening, early morning, and other non-program times for overnight users.

In scheduling programs, we commonly divide groups into several smaller ones (10-15 participants\group). Hence, it is helpful if at least one adult per group is present during the program activities. We suggest recruiting parents and\or additional adults for this purpose. Lumsden Beach Camp will not be held responsible for any sickness, accident, property damage or loss occurring during your group's stay.
