Seminar 11:

On The Road Again – Field Trip Training for Camp and School Staff
Session length: 2 hours

Designed for:  Administrators, faculty, camp program staff

Field trips, class outings, athletic events, overnights, off-site special activities often involve transporting our students and campers.  However, one of the greatest risks we face in the operation of our camp and school programs lies in the area of transportation of participants, as we are exposed to the serious injury or loss of life of a large number of participants at one time.  In addition, we are operating in an open environment without many of the controls and protections we have on our own sites.  What training has your staff received for dealing with emergencies away from your on-site resources?  

This workshop includes:  pre-trip planning and preparation; safety rules for trip participants on off-site trips; communication plans for staff when off-site; permission slips, waivers, and releases for trip participants; supervision guidelines and procedures for trips; pre-trip and day of trip orientation guidelines for trip participants; emergency action plan for dealing with emergencies off-site; checklists for trip leaders. 

Key Concepts:

• Overview of federal and state regulations 
• Communication plans to base site and community resources 
• Permission slips and releases
• Supervision practices for off-site excursions
