The evening monitor's assignments include:

  • Go to the dining room right after the end of the evening activity and stay in the dining hall until closing time at 11:3 0pm.
  • Make sure people do not go into the kitchen unless they have special permission. The kitchen is not a place for socializing. Campers should not get themselves any food from the kitchen or store room behind the kitchen. Exceptions are people who have a special diet and who keep some of their own food with the cook's permission in the refrigerator or moms who wants to get some milk for their small children.
  • Have a cell phone available in case of any emergency. Have the camp director's and the nurse's phone numbers in contacts list.
  • At 10:00 pm, announce that the dining hall closes for all campers age 11 and under (Suns, Moons,...) unless they are there with their parents.
  • At 11:15 pm ask the remaining campers to clean up the dining hall so it is ready for breakfast the next morning.
  • At 11:30 pm (or the time set by the camp director), send all remaining people to their sleeping areas. Turn off the lights and close the doors.
  • Turn off all the lights and the close the doors to the hall leading to the kitchen, and the kitchen and dining hall doors. First close all the doors except the double doors from the inside and latch all storm doors. At the end close the double door and secure it as much as you can from the outside. This is necessary to keep bears out.
  • Walk over to the rec hall, meadow, and sports field and send anyone to bed who is still hanging out there.
