Keep hydrated: Ensure that all employees and campers have access to cool fresh water. Water should be sipped on regularly throughout the day to maintain adequate hydration.
Schedule regular breaks: Whether they are out working or playing, everyone should take regular breaks and avoid overly exerting themselves.
Dress light: Avoid selecting dark uniforms, as they soak up the heat. Instead opt for light colors.
Salt up: Stock up breakrooms or your camp store with sports drinks and salty snacks, to help replace salt lost though sweat.
Start early: Schedule outdoor projects and activities early in the morning to avoid being out during the hottest parts of the day.
Provide access to supplies: Stock up your camp store with items that are aimed to keep guest safe and cool such as sunshades for tents, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and hand held fans.
