Walk through the site in the order a participant will use it. Start at arrival, then visit sleeping areas, toilets, showers, meals, health space, activities, quiet areas, and emergency assembly points.
Check safe routes after dark. Look at lighting, uneven ground, steps, doors, locks, signs, and the distance to help. Assess access with the people and equipment your camp will serve.
Have competent people review fire and building safety, water, food systems, electrical use, and other required matters. This guide cannot certify a site by checklist.
Ask where an ill participant can be cared for without creating unsafe exposure or leaving them isolated without support. Decide which spaces must be reserved and cannot be sold as guest beds.
Locate delivery points, rubbish storage, staff-only areas, maintenance equipment, chemicals, fuel, and other restricted places. Keep these separate from casual participant movement.
Test mobile coverage and any radios or landlines. Know how emergency services find the correct entrance. A street address may not identify the right gate on a large rural property.
Your task: Create a site map with care zones, restrictions, emergency access, and the named owner of each daily inspection.
