HOW WELL SUPERVISED & SAFE IS THE WORKCAMP?
The Workcamp staff takes supervision and safety very seriously. Besides the Workcamp adult staff, each group is required to bring one adult sponsor for every five young people to provide supervision at the work sites and the school. The Workcamp will not involve young people in any kind of dangerous projects. No youth will be allowed to use power tools at all. Adults are as long as they have previous experience. Every participant is asked to bring protective safety gear. Every young person is matched to a project they can handle. To compensate for the hot weather, work campers are supplied with plenty of liquids to drink and given frequent breaks. Each residence and worksite is inspected beforehand. Home repair projects are well organized and prepared. First-aid kits and emergency care instructions will be available at every worksite. Medical facilities are located a short distance from every site. Every safety precaution is exercised to produce a safe and injury free atmosphere. CHWC’
