Encyclopedia WinterCampica - Responsible Adult Companion
At Winter Camp XLI, Steve Donohue and Jeff Rand arrived at camp feeling the aftereffects of life-threatening cardiac and neurological events from earlier in the year. As Kristie Donohue was unable to do more than visit camp, she deputized two adults as responsible adult companions to look after Steve and Jeff throughout the Weekette and monitor their medical status. Doug Wilson was Steve's RAC and Keith King looked out for Jeff. Kristie prepared daily checklists which were hung on clipboards from the "patients"' bunks as a record of their adherence to necessary medical standards.
On 30 November 2018, on the Winter Camp XLII planning Web page, adviser Keith King elevated himself to the role of "GRAC", or Global Responsible Adult Companion, when he declared that camp would include no hydrogen-filled balloon animals.
RACs are issued a 3D-printed chip bearing the RAC Oath and Law.
