Your base is the camp's home on the mountain. It needs to work when people are cold, tired, hungry, or missing a glove.
Agree on a clear meeting point that does not block public traffic or emergency access. Use signs people can see without posting private details. Tell families whether the meeting point is inside or outside and how long the walk takes from parking.
Arrange a warm, supervised space for breaks and early finishers. A public café table may not be a reliable base. Check whether the space is reserved, shared, accessible, and available on busy days.
Plan storage for bags and boots. Keep dry items separate from wet gear. Label belongings with a safe internal system. Do not leave passports, payment cards, health forms, or medicines in open cubbies.
Walk the route to toilets, food, rental fitting, lifts, and patrol. Test it with a group moving slowly. Account for stairs, slippery floors, heavy doors, and children carrying equipment.
Create a meeting rule for a late family. They must report to the named base worker. They must not search the mountain or join a lesson without a recorded handover.
Your task: Draw the base map and test every route with the people who will use it.
