This includes reinforcing safety standards for activities (such as swimming, hiking, or team-building exercises) and ensuring that participants adhere to the guidelines to prevent accidents.

Facilitators will create a space for participants to think about their spiritual lives and develop a plan for how they can continue growing after the camp.
5. Creating an Atmosphere of Compassionate Support:
