Tips for an Enjoyable, Safe Camping Trip

When planning a camping trip, it’s important to know your group members’ abilities and understand the environment you’ll be in. Plan accordingly to ensure everyone’s safety.

1. First Aid Preparation:
   • Pack a first aid kit to handle insect stings, sprains, cuts, bruises, and other potential injuries.
   • Consider taking a Red Cross First Aid and CPR course.
   • Download the First Aid app to have essential information on hand for treating severe wounds, broken bones, bites, and stings if help is delayed.
2. Common Hazards:
   • Be aware that sprains and falls are common camping mishaps, often due to poor decision-making, lack of skill, or inadequate preparation.
   • Dehydration is a significant danger, so plan to stay hydrated.
3. Preparation and Communication:
   • Share your travel plans and locations with a family member, neighbor, or friend.
   • Bring nutritious food, water, lightweight clothing for layering, and supplies for any pets.

By taking these precautions, you can help ensure a safer and more enjoyable camping experience for everyone involved.
