  • Supervising the play area to ensure kids are interacting safely

In the Event of an Injury

Please direct any parties to the first aid tent. Have a volunteer escort them there by looking for the tent with the bright red flag beside it. Please immediately ping the first aid tent on your walkie-talkie to prepare them for incoming people.

In the event a child or parent gets separated from their family or people

Encourage them to meet at Lost & Found, which is also the First Aid Tent. First aid should then cue the stage manager to have it announced by emcees at the earliest possible moment.
