There will be a designated area for cadets to change from their outdoor to indoor footwear. There will be consequences for cadets who do not follow this direction that include not being allowed into the gymnasium area and being sent home.

Cadets with anaphylaxis condition are to show their epi-pens on Thursday nights to the Administration Section. For all other cadet activities, cadet are to show their epi-pens to the supervising adult staff member(s).
