Emergency Procedure

Emergency Procedure & Questions

If this is life threatening...........  call 911 immediately.

If you cannot call 911, find someone with a phone who can.

If you cannot find a phone, go to the rangers station, they are open from 7am - 9pm.

If the ranger station is closed, go to the yellow house behind and to the left (if you are facing the ranger station from the park road) of the ranger station.  Melinda, the ranger working with us, will be there.

If this not life threatening, but requires a hospital, call 911.

The closest open medical center on the weekend is the Palomar Pomerado Hospital.  Because it's 47 miles west of Julian, near I-15, call 911 for an ambulance because they can get through the traffic.

The address is:

Pomerado Hospital 15615 Pomerado Road Poway, CA 92064

If this is something less minor, call Linda Sheldone, the nurse attending the camp.  Her cell phone is:

(760) 685-2961

If you have non-health related questions, call:

Deborah Chandran, camp director: 203-820-9357  

Kim O'Connell: camp support: (760) 415-1328

Finally, you can come to Camp Central at site 41, we will always have someone there.


We hope that you never need this info.

At the site

Getting there: PLEASE READ (not yelling, just drawing attention, this is important)

The directions from the website work well.  To get there using google as a GPS, type in "Heise Park Road, Julian, CA", and that will give you the exact location.  DO NOT type in "William Heise Park", as that erroneously maps to a different county park.

Arriving at the park

There will be a ranger at the booth.  For both night and day campers, tell the ranger you are with "Carlsbad Girl Scouts", and they (he/she) should let you in without a fee.

Getting to the campsite

I will have orange cones with GS signs pointing into our campground and pointing to my campsite for registration.

Here is a map of the whole park.  We are in "Campsite Area 2" in the MIDDLE of the campground near the pond.

Here is a detailed map of the amenities and camp site numbers.    We have reserved the entire "Campsite Area 2", with campsites numbered 41-60.  We will have the bathrooms in the middle to ourselves.  Showers are at two other locations in areas that will be share.

The road around the campsite is one way, starting at site 41 and moving toward 60.  We will have "Camp Central" at site 41 for check in.  All campers should check in there to pick up stuff we have for you on camping, and to get your camp site number if you are staying for the night.   

Checking In

Yay!  You've made it!  Can't wait to see you there!

At check in, please turn in:

1. Permission forms for each of the girls
2. Health histories for everyone (adults and girls).

We'll give you your camp site assignment then, and a packet of stuff such as maps, emergency procedure, stuff for the girls...

After Checking In

Night campers: At your campsite, entry is designed for backing in, it helps with unloading.  If you have more cars than fit at your site, you can park at the extra parking spaces in the "Parking and Picnic Area 2".

Day campers: Please check in at Camp Central, and then park in the "Parking and Picnic Area 2".

Dad camper:  We have one dad who is helping out with his daughter's troop, he has the camping area #22, which is outside of the girls camping area.  He should use the public facilities outside of the girls camping area, as the girls will be using both sides (boys and girls) of the facilities in the camp.

Schedule

The schedule is pretty much the same as what we have on the website.  We'll have the final one for everyone in the packets you get at checkin that tells where things will be happening.  Saturday morning, I'd like to meet with one adult from every troop to go over the day and answer questions.  Time and location on the upcoming schedule.

Sunday Morning Checking-out

Part of being a GS is leaving a place better than we found it.  Please make sure that everything is packed, and all the garbage is picked up.  The campgrounds are very clean, let's leave it that way.

Prior to checking out, please fill out the evaluation form.  That's your ticket to getting the patches.

Check out at Camp Central, site 41, after everything is packed and cleaned, and your evaluation is filled out. 

Contacts:

Kids should leave all electronics at home, but cell phones help with emergencies, so adults should bring theirs along.  Verizon get's wonderful reception, ATT works well too, not sure about others.


If you need to contact us, our cell phones are:

Deborah Chandran, camp director: 203-820-9357

Linda Sheldone, camp nurse: (760) 685-2961

Kim O'Connell: camp support: (760) 415-1328

Campfire

Be a part of the campfire!  Be prepared: song or skit,  and safety.

Hello GS Leaders,

My name is Rebecca Monroy, I am a volunteer with Troop #1813 and I will be running the campfire and Saturday night entertainment at the campout this year! I will be the MC for a skit show, so you can prepare a troop song or skit before camp or make one up earlier on that Saturday.  If I can get enough volunteers we could also do an adult/leader skit :)  I will be coming around to each campsite on Saturday to create a "set list" for the night. We will also sing songs and roast SMORES!!! All the chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows with be supplied by the service unit. Please remember/tell your troop the following things:

1. Fire SAFETY: All persons must tie hair back when around the fire
(bandanas work great for this and look cute!). DO NOT wear nylon
clothing/jackets as they will catch fire very easily. No horseplay,
respecting the fire is of the utmost!

2. Bring extra roasting sticks, I may have enough for the number of
girls that will be safe to be around the fire at once, and help your
girls to be patient for their turn for roasting.

3. Have fun with putting together your skit!

Rebecca Monroy
Troop #1813
