When at a new site, such as a camp
or trip, check the facility and area carefully. Look for hazards and
possibilities, limitations and opportunities. Know your space well
before things start.
One example: I was doing a “rustic camp” and walked every inch
of the area we would be using. As the campers came in and registered
it started pouring rain. Everyone was bummed, and depressed as it
looked like things were going to be miserable when I suddenly took
off running, threw myself down on the ground and slid across the
field on my belly. I was soon joined by the campers and we had a
great afternoon. That would not have been possible or safe if I
hadn't already check the field and knew that it did not hold any
hidden hazards in the area we used for our natural Slip N Slide.
