Note to Parents:

We take every step possible to be sure your child has an enjoyable, educational and SAFE visit to Camp Brule'.

Emergencies are never wanted, but should always be planned for. Be assured that Camp Brule' has a comprehensive safety and emergency plan in place to handle emergencies at the Camp. The nature of the emergency determines what and when certain events happen in response. The local 911 center is advised whenever campers are in the facility and communications through local firefighters/emergency rescue are always available.

We want to be sure that if emergencies occur, both at Camp Brule or at the home of a camper, there is adequate and reliable means of communicating important information to and from 4-H parents.
