Play more pirate games and learn how to be a safe pirate on the water.
Safety message
For a pirate camp, some areas to consider include:
- First aid kits
- Food hygiene and safety
- Active games, including wide games
- Motion picture licensing for films and TV shows
If you’re going swimming as part of the camp, you’ll need to consider:
- Swimming activity guidance
- Taking part in water activities, including non-swimmers
- General water activity guidance
- Activities near the water
- Taking part in an activity in Class C waters, such as a swimming pool, man-made bodies of water and small lakes
- Water safety (waterborne diseases and immersion)
When swimming, have a responsible adult not directly involved to be a spotter and watch out for hazards or incidents. Be sure to manage the group when near water, keeping everyone safe, including staying safe at water margins and on the water’s edge
