[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There needs to be a second adult. One adult needs to stay in a central meeting place (with a small first aid kit, epi pen, and water) where all the kids know to go to check in. One adult stays with the most wild, or immature, or badly behaved kids who need supervision.

Every kid going must have a working watch/clock (phone).  WHen you arrive, everyone "synchronizes watches" (boys will love that phrase). Tell them to meet back at the central meeting spot in three hours. They must stay in groups of three or more. No fewer than three kids in a group. They all need to check in, in person, at the central meeting spot where kids are counted, given a new time to come back, and then set free.

This is how a tween travel camp is run when 70 kids are set loose at Disneyland or somewhere.  You stay in groups of three in case one kid gets hurt - one kid stays with the hurt kid, and a third kid goes to the central meeting spot to get help. [/quote]

Hershey Park has multiple first-aid stations
They sell water and they also have water fountains.  
If a child needs an epi-pen it should NOT be at a central meeting place but with that child at all times.    
A parent should not have to pay admission to sit in a central area the entire time.

If you are going to set the kids free and meet up every once in a while (which I agree) you don't need a second chaperone.
