Match the camp to the campers. Jmo.
Ditto. And, in my experience, no matter how much is covered / studied beforehand, it's nearly impossible to be "sure" you get it right once the first CE occurs. Then, you look it up afterwards and learn the most important CE rule: Take your time and don't have any more.
