PLANNING FOR CAMP
We are very happy you have chosen Camp Thunder Ridge for your upcoming youth camp! We
promise to do all in our power to make your youth camp memorable and successful. We have found
the best youth camps are those planned together by youth and leaders. One way to structure your
leadership is outlined below.
Adult Chair
As the adult in charge of your event, it is your responsibility to oversee the entire organization and
development of the event and to see the goals or themes of the event are met. We encourage you to
keep a low profile. Let the youth plan their own agenda as much as possible. There will be times
when your expertise and experience will be needed, so don't hesitate to offer suggestions and ideas
to smooth out the rough spots. Youth want to show that they are capable and will do an excellent job
when given the opportunity.
Youth Chair
As a youth leader, you have one of the most important jobs. This activity may have more influence on
your peers than any other activity held during the year. You are responsible for overseeing the
planning and conducting of the event while at Camp Bartlett. Remember to keep the goals and
themes for the event in mind when planning. Be prepared for committee meetings and set specific
tasks to reach your goals.
Prior to camp
• Work with adult leaders
• Develop goals and themes
• Coordinate all committees
• Follow deadlines
During the camp
• Work with Camp Thunder Ridge Staff
• Conduct all meetings
• Orientation & general meetings
• Special meetings (firesides, testimonies, etc.)
• Encourage peers to follow camp rules
Adult Supervisors:
We strongly urge you to plan sufficient adult supervision for the size of your youth camp.
Free Time:
In planning your agenda, we recommend a full schedule of activities, with limited free time. We find youth
wander off camp grounds or engage in activities that lead to camp destruction and/or personal injury when too
much free time is planned.
Schedules:
Camp Thunder Ridge leadership is ready to assist you in planning for your event. We offer templates for 3 and
4-day sessions. In addition to our usual activities, we can help you schedule different locations,
amphitheaters, and pavilions that you might need during your stay at Camp Thunder Ridge.

ACTIVITY STATIONS
Along with the great location and staff at Camp Thunder Ridge, camp
programs are the best anywhere! Check out some of our great activity stations
listed below.
Archery & Knife Throwing*
Learn how to shoot arrows at our archery range. You can hit the bull’s eye at
one of our 8 shooting lanes. While at the archery range your group will have
the opportunity to throw knives at our throwing range - just like early mountain
explorers!
Buddy System Rifle Shooting*
All campers should have Learn how to shoot or hone your skills at our rifle range where you will be

buddies back! Watch out
for, and help each other.
High Ropes Course*
After accomplishing the Low COPE course, it’s time to utilize the new trust and
team dynamic on the high ropes course. This consists of several elements that
require participants to negotiate cables, swings and nets high above the
ground. An elaborate, redundant safety system protects participants at all
times.
Group Games*
We have a collection of 2-6 person lawn games that your group may rotate
through. This is the perfect activity station to relax and strengthen friendships!
*These stations will have trained and certified Thunder Ridged staff. Additional
leadership may be provided by each group to help facilitate the movement of
the group through the station.
PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES
Hiking*
The neighboring natural wonders provide hikers with spectacular views, easy-
to-difficult terrain, and a safe place to hike and explore.
Your group may choose to schedule a group hike during your stay at camp.
Staff members will be available to guide your group.
Hikes include:
• CEDAR BREAKS NATIONAL MONUMENT - Camp Thunder Ridge is only
6 miles (20 minutes) from this local treasure! Hidden within the mountains
above Cedar City is the brilliant geology and vibrant environment of Cedar
Breaks National Monument. The geologic amphitheater and surrounding
environs are home to cool hiking trails, ancient trees, high elevation
camping, and over-the-top views along the “Circle of Painted Cliffs.”
Cedar Breaks’ majestic amphitheater is a three-mile-long cirque made up of
eroding limestone, shale, and sandstone. Situated on the western edge of
the Markagunt Plateau, the raised area of earth located in Southern Utah
between Interstate 15 and Highway 89, the monument sits entirely above
10,000 feet. The Amphitheater is like a naturally formed coliseum that
plunges 2,000 feet below taking your eyes for a colorful ride through arches,
towers, hoodoos, and canyons. Stunning views are common throughout so
keep your camera nearby.
Groups are responsible for NPS entrance fees. A complete list of hikes
within the national monument are found online at https://www.nps.gov/
cebr/planyourvisit/hike-a-trail.htm
Groups on the dining hall plan will receive a sack lunch to eat while
exploring the monument. Groups are encouraged to bring lots of drinking
water, sunscreen and hat to protect you from high-elevation sun.
• BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK - Camp Thunder Ridge is only 62 miles
from this one-of-a-kind national park. An alpine forest with as many red
rock hoodoos as trees. At dawn and dusk, mule deer graze the forested
plateau along the road into Bryce Canyon. The alpine environment is home
to dozens of species of mammals and birds, all acquainted with a
spectacular truth: this is no ordinary forest. Water and wind over millions of
years of freezes and thaws, have carved into the plateau endless fields of
distinctive red rock pillars, called hoodoos, as well as into the park's series
of natural amphitheaters.
Groups are responsible for NPS entrance fees. A complete list of hikes
within the national monument are found online at https://www.nps.gov/
brca/planyourvisit/day-hikes.htm
PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES
• MARKAGUNT PLATEAU VOLCANIC FIELD - The Markagunt Plateau is
one of the forested highlands that make up the High Plateaus section of the
Colorado Plateau. The Markagunt covers about 800 square miles mostly
within Dixie National Forest, including Cedar Breaks National Monument.
The ski resort town of Brian Head is its highest point at 11,307 feet.
Markagunt was named for the Paiute word meaning “Highland of Trees.”
Volcanic activity on the eastern Markagunt Plateau began about 5 million
years ago and continued until as recently as 1,000 years ago. Evidence of
volcanic activity is scattered throughout the plateau. The Markagunt Plateau
volcanic field, located east of Cedar Breaks National Monument, is a group
of cinder cones and lava flows. The youngest cinder cones are located near
Panguitch Lake in the north and Navajo Lake in the south. Navajo Lake was
actually formed when a lava flow formed a dam at Duck Creek. Mammoth
Cave, which formed 2,000 years ago and is located about 22 miles south of
Panguitch Lake, is one of the largest lava tubes in Utah.
Groups on the dining hall plan will receive a sack lunch to eat while
exploring the lava flow. Groups are encouraged to bring lots of drinking
water, sunscreen and hat to protect you from high-elevation sun.
• HENDRICKSON LAKE HIKE - This trail climbs quickly through stands of
large fir trees. It passes by several springs and starts into a series of switch
backs, climbing quickly to the top of the hill west of camp. Aspen is the
dominant tree species as the trail climbs a small hill and overlooks
Hendrickson Lake, a beautiful natural lake with a good population of
catchable Brook trout. The trail skirts around the east side of the lake where
it enters a thick stand of mixed conifers and aspen.
CAMP LIFE Special Needs Requests All special medical conditions should be reported to the health officer upon arrival in camp. If there is a camper with special needs, please contact the camp director so we can make the appropriate accommodations. Campsite Accommodations Each campsite has a picnic table (or more) and covered pavilion. Participants and groups need to plan on bringing their own tents. We encourage groups to bring wagons or wheel barrows to get your equipment from the parking lot to your campsite. Latrines Camp Thunder Ridge provides portable toilets and some flushing toilets. Please do not throw any garbage down the toilets. This includes: feminine hygiene products of any kind (pads, inserts, applicators, or wrappers). Hand wipes or baby wipes, toilet paper rolls, wrappers, candy wrappers, or food items should not be put in the latrine. If there are any of these items found in the toilets, it is extremely difficult to clean them out and the pumpers will refuse to clean out. There are garbage cans in every building, please use them. When the garbage cans get full, please empty and replace the can liners. There are extra garbage bags and toilet paper in the dining hall. Water Each campsite has a nearby water spigot with potable water. Encourage your participants to stay hydrated! Ecology Please make certain that all group members understand the delicate balance of plant and animal life in the wilderness. Everyone should do their best to ensure that no animals are molested or killed - this applies to aquatic as well as land life. No pets of any kind should be brought to camp. Pets are a threat to wildlife and are in danger themselves. Never cut down a tree, dead or alive. Do not carve names or symbols into the trees or do anything else that could damage the trees. Tree Climbing Camp Thunder Ridge has a strict no tree climbing policy. Participants (youth or adult) that are discovered to be climbing trees will be sent home.
CAMP LIFE

Please do not allow anyone in the back of trucks or in trailers while transporting
equipment. Trucks, cars, vans, trailers and RVs must park in the designated
parking lots. While driving in camp, please stay below 15 MPH.FOOD SERVICE Thunder Ridge offers excellent food service. When you choose a meal plan at Thunder Ridge, our staff does all the preparation and cooking, so leaders are able to spend more time and focus on their youth. Please schedule your activities and workshops around meal times. Your group will be assigned a meal shift within the mealtime. Your punctuality is important, as we are trying to serve many youth. Dining Hall This service includes three balanced meals prepared by our cooks, each day. Reservations for guests must be made and paid for in advance: $7 per meal. We ask that you help clean up after yourselves after you are done eating. There are buckets available to wash and sanitize the tables and chairs, there are brooms in the dining hall to clean up any messes on the floor, there are garbage cans to dump/scrape and stack your plates, cups and utensils. Menus Menus will be posted online by early Spring. Allergy Accommodations If you have an allergy to items posted on our menu, please notify our camp staff 2 weeks prior to arriving at camp by filling out our allergy form online at www.utahscouts.org/allergy. If our staff have concerns about accommodating your particular allergy, we will reach out to you. Meal Times Daily meal times are posted on the weekly schedule. Those attending our 3-day session will begin meal service Monday at lunch and finish Wednesday at breakfast. Those attending our 4-day session will begin meal service Wednesday at dinner and finish Saturday at breakfast.
HEALTH & SAFETY Emergency Procedures In any large-scale operation, there exists the possibility of “emergencies.” This procedure is to help the staff and leaders perform efficiently in any emergency and keep everyone informed. Weather-Related Emergencies Camp Management makes every reasonable effort to monitor weather conditions that may pose a threat to the health and safety of the camp. Leaders are ultimately responsible for the safety of their participants, and are strongly encouraged to use good judgment when a possible threat exists. Weather Impact on Activities Occasionally, camp program and activities will be impacted by weather events. Thunder & lightning in the vicinity of camp can cause us to “delay” or “cancel” these activities. We do not take your safety lightly! Decisions to close an area are usually determined by the area director, in consultation with the Camp Director. As always, we depend on our unit leaders to be aware of any weather activity that they deem may impact the safety of their participants. If you as a leader determine that you need to move your participants from an area, or move off an activity field, we encourage you to do that and not wait for a decision from the Staff. Fires Campers and staff should be careful with fire. In the event of a fire, the camp alarm will broadcast. Please make sure that everyone in your unit knows that when they hear the alarm, they should go immediately to the parade grounds east of the lodge and assemble there. Do not try to find each other around camp. The camp administration will then provide directions about how to proceed. An emergency drill is normally held within 24 hours of each arrival group. Lost or Missing Person If a youth or adult is believed to be missing, adult leaders should first confirm that the missing person is not in the campsite, activity areas, or other common gathering places about camp. The group should utilize the following steps: Assemble Your Group, Check Each Tent, Check Areas, then if not found, notify a staff member immediately. Other Emergencies Depending upon the nature of the emergency, camp staff will communicate necessary information to the camp, based on the nature of the threat.
CAMP POLICIES
Camp Thunder Ridge follows the National BSA policies on Youth Protection.
The BSA has adopted the following policies for the safety and well-being of its
members. These policies primarily protect youth members; however, they also
serve to protect adult leaders.
Two-Deep Leadership
Two adult leaders 21 years of age or over are required at all times while at
camp.
No One-On-One Contact
One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is not permitted. In
situations that require a personal conference, the meeting is to be conducted in
view of the other adults and youth.
Respect of Privacy
Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as
changing clothes and taking showers at camp and intrude only to the extent
that health and safety requires. Adults must protect their own privacy in similar
situations.
Tenting Accommodations
Separate tenting arrangements must be provided for male and female adults as
well as for male and female youth.
Youth sharing tents must be no more than two years apart in age. Youth and
adults must tent separately. Spouses may share tents.
Group Discipline and Adult Supervision
The role of the camp staff is to provide the summer camp program and all of
the other camp infrastructure needed to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay at
camp. As with any group outing, the adult leadership of each group is
responsible for the behavior of their participants. Please help the staff focus on
program by watching your participants and being available to deal with
discipline issues should they develop.
