Base Camp is an impressive set up and there's a lot to know, so running an induction is a crucial step on the first day. Bear it mind it may also be the first time clients have spent a significant amount of time in the great outdoors, so it's best to over-communicate rather than leave things unsaid.
Some key things that need to be covered in the induction:
Overview of the program
Timings & activities
Wetsuit fittings
Wet shoes in canyon
Gift packs
yours
Charging cable
Bathrooms
booking system
What goes into toilets
Tents
Guy line safety
Zips
Sleeping bag liner
Safety essentials for the Australian bush
Snakes & spiders
Heat

Alcohol consumption
We really try to encourage Night 1 to be a couple of beers before an early night (10pm) as Day 2 is a big day of adventure activities
Night 2 is a bit more relaxed
Weather/ Fires
Weather forecast
Heat mgt tomorrow
Camp fire
Games
South Pole Challenge
Jenga
Juggling

After the keynote presentation of James, he will welcome the participants to camp and start the induction to Base Camp
James will share an overview of the things that the participants will expect in the whole duration of the program.
Start by introducing the Base Camp Manager and then the rest of the base camp staff for the program
It is important to mention the names of the staff to familiarize the participants with the people they will be dealing with in the next three days. It's easier for them to ask for help from staff in case they need anything in the camp.
From the overview of the program, James will now explain all the important details that will happen in the camp, from Day 1 to Day 3.
You can refer to the list mentioned above for the key things that need to be covered in the induction.
