WCC'S WILD NOCTURNAL ADVENTURE

Facilities and Precautions
  • There are two outhouses (porta potties) available for visitors to use. They are sanitized multiple times a day and between programs.

When camping outdoors it’s necessary to take precautions in order to prevent serious infections, especially Lyme disease. Lyme disease is an infection caused by bacteria and is spread by the bite of a deer tick. Not all deer ticks are infected, so not all tick bites will cause the disease. Despite this, the key thing to be aware of is prevention. Download and print prevention flyers offering great tips!
