Fire Safety
During your time at camp you will have
opportunities to participate in cookouts with campfires. For the
safety of all members of your group, please be very cautious around
campfires. Follow the safety instructions provided by your counselor
before, during, and after cookouts.
Sunburns
Please pack sunscreen and use it while at Haluco
YFC. You will be involved in many outdoor activities during the
week. Please be wise and take the necessary precautions to protect
yourself against sunburn.
Tick-bite Prevention
Tick species are widely distributed around the
world and are most commonly found in brushy areas along the edges of fields and
woodlands. They are also found near commonly traveled paths through
grassy areas and shrubbery. While it is a good idea to take preventative
measures against ticks year round, be extra vigilant in warmer months.
Haluco YFC has a dress policy that will help
in the prevention of tick bites. Long pants, socks, and sturdy (no
open-toed) shoes are required for daily wear. Hiking socks that can
be pulled up over the pant leg are highly encouraged. Click here to read a fact sheet concerning
prevention of tick bites.
