During camp introductions, students are made aware of the overnight routine and they will be reminded of this every evening just prior to bedtime. Should they wake up and want to leave their tent, they must:
- Wake up a friend and walk with them using a flashlight
- Either head straight to the toilet which is lit up for ease and security
- Or head to the main centre tipi which is lit up for ease and security where a minimum of two Cumulus Camp staff members will be available
