CAMP AMISK EVACUATION PLAN

This evacuation plan is valid for any incident (such as fire (building, forest fire, etc.), severe weather, animal attack or flood) or any other incident that would require a mass evacuation of the Camp.

PROCEDURE

1. For individual campsites, gather all youth and leaders to a common location on the campsite and ensure all youth and leaders are accounted for. Ensure each youth has a ‘buddy’.
2. For the entire camp, gather all youth and leaders, if possible, to the Storage Shed and account for all youth and leaders. Ensure each youth has a ‘buddy’.  If not possible for the entire camp to meet at the Storage Shed, then groups should follow the process for individual campsites.
3. Call 911 and report the incident. The address is 4394 Waverley Street South; GPS Coordinates are: N 49⁰ 43.327″ W 097⁰ 10.247″.  Provide any details that will help the Emergency Responders, such as: site location within the Camp; type of assistance required, (fire, ambulance, police); number of people involved; number of people injured, nature of the need for evacuation, etc.
4. Send a responsible youth or adult to the main gate on Waverley Street to direct the Emergency Responders.
5. Depending upon the urgency and the nature of the incident, transport all youth and leaders to the main gate of the Camp, via the roadway. Do not take time to gather equipment, break camp or to collect personal gear.  If the front entrance is not available, then choose one of the alternatives.
6. There are four possible ways to evacuate Camp Amisk:
   1. Main Gate: This is the best and easiest exit, out to Waverley Street.  Follow the camp road to the West.  A suitable meeting place is the parking lot across Waverley Street at the entrance to La Barriere Park.
   2. Rear Trail: It is possible to leave the Camp by the rear, past the Squirrel Site.  This is more of an ATB trail, but can be driven by cars/trucks/SUVs with care.  It can also be walked by youth of all ages.  Follow the trail until coming to the gravel road (Minerva Street) which will connect with Highway 75.  A suitable meeting place can be many locations along the road, depending on suitability.
   3. Over the Floodway/Berm: It is possible to cross to the South and climb to the top of the floodway berm.  It is then possible to follow this out to Waverley Street.  A suitable meeting place would be the parking lot in front of La Barriere Park.
   4. Across the LaSalle River: This is possible but not highly suitable in most cases.   Water levels vary throughout the season, making the crossing risky.  There are canoes on site, but are generally locked, with paddles stored inside the shed.  This should be an exit of last resort.   A suitable meeting place could be one of several open field areas, as appropriate.
7. When you have exited the Camp, and met at a suitable location, ensure all youth and leaders have their buddy and are accounted for. Treat any injuries; let parents know you are safe; report the situation to a member of the Property Committee:
