General Notes:
Almost certainly, during camping trips, you all roast food, making sure to carefully manage fires in forests or areas with many trees. Afterward, ensure all embers are completely extinguished to prevent the risk of forest fires.
Always have a garbage bag ready for cleanup after each camping trip and bring it back to the starting point (except for places with available trash bins or designated waste collection areas).
In areas with ponds, lakes, rivers, or streams, pay close attention and always have someone supervise young campers to ensure safety. If swimming is planned, always use a life jacket.
