I'm quite suprised at this, I thought the whole idea of having codes over the radio was to not panic the campers? If we sounded a air siren for an accident at the stables (which we had but was dealt with very swiftly and the girl was back at the dance later that evening), then the whole camp - campers and staff, would be slightly panicked.
We have a system which the kids are told about each week, in that if they hear the bell ringing constantly it means that there is a serious danger; ie a major major storm, an introder who is posing harm etc.
