Confirmation of Expectations
I understand that Camp Life is filled with long days and extensive physical activity. Camp pre-requisites, preparation, and required pre-camp training are the tools required to ensure an amazing camp experience and successful camp outcome for all participants.
I understand that GM2016 will not have the capacity and resources to move people around who have pre-existing health issues which have been diagnosed prior to arrival at camp. All campers are expected to be mobile using their own resources.
I acknowledge that I am fully prepared to take part in all the activities being offered at GM2016, have the required fitness level, and will fully participate to the best of my abilities.
I agree to follow current Safe Guide and any other regulations as they may apply.
I have read and agree to abide by the role and responsibilities as outlined in the Core Crew Position Description(s) I am applying for and the Code of Conduct for Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada. I will do my part to ensure that the participants at Guiding Mosaic 2016 have a phenomenal time.
