2 - Plan ahead and be prepared Safety first — even if you ’ re RV-ing or going on a hike somewhere very accessible. Anything can happen in wild spaces. Stay safe by adhering to the three Ts: Trip Plan, Train, Take the essentials. Trip plan Decide where you ’ re going and how long you ’ re going for. Train (and know your limits) Prepare, obtain the knowledge and skills you need for the terrain you ’ re embarking on. Know and stay within your limits. Take the essentials No matter how short your outdoor adventure is, always pack the essentials. We recommend: • Flashlight/headlamp + extra batteries • First aid kit • Emergency blanket/shelter • Matches • Signaling device (whistle, mirror, etc.) • Pocket knife • Extra food and water

• Sun protection • Extra clothing • Insect repellent 3 - Take only photos

If it ’ s not yours, don ’ t take it. Nature and all its glory are for everyone to enjoy. Please leave natural and cultural objects undisturbed. We ’ re talking about mushrooms, flowers, and wood, too. If you see it in nature and you just love it so much, then take a photo and leave it in nature. 4 - Control your pets Pets are loveable. They can also negatively impact trails, aggravate park visitors, contaminate natural resources, and impact wildlife. 5 - Respect others Some people go camping for peace and quiet. Some go for family time fun. Some go to play music and chill. Respect your camping neighbours by keeping noise levels low and adhering to posted quiet hours. Here are a few other helpful reminders and tips on how we can all enjoy our camping experience: • Respect other Campers space by not walking through someone else's campsite • Respect Quiet Hours, also when arriving late or leaving early • Follow Campground speed limits • Leave the campsite cleaner than when you first arrived • Don ’ t Leave your outside lights on all night long 6 - Practice fire safety Prevent human-caused wildfires by practicing these three simple (and really important) campfire safety rules: • Respect fire bans; If there is a campfire ban, do not have a campfire under any circumstances. • Never leave a fire unattended; If you ’ re not able to watch the fire, put it out. • Put fires out completely; That means no smoldering and cold to the touch. 100% out. 7 - Store food safely Food and scented items can attract wild animals. Attracting wild animals can lead to personal injury and wildlife being killed. Store all food in a wildlife-proof container or in your RV or car. 8 - Respect staff and signs Staff and signs are here to help. Adhere to their guidance and everyone can stay safe. 9 - Don ’ t litter Littering is not cool nor acceptable under any circumstances. Put all garbage in marked garbage/waste bins. If there are no bins, be kind and take it with you. Learn more: www.camperscode.com
