Medical Health and Safety:
General health and safety for everyone at camp requires families to prepare their children for situations they may encounter while they are away from home.
Campers will be very active during these two weeks. One of the most important items a child can bring are a good pair of tennis shoes. They will be hiking, playing sports, and engaging in activities that will require them to have appropriate active footwear. Also, if your child has any equipment that they must wear during sports activities, please send these items with them.
If your child is allergic to anything, has any medical issues that we need to be aware of, or has any special dietary needs, please indicate these items on the health form.
Please send a supply of basic toiletry items including soap, deoderant, shampoo, and feminine hygiene products (if applicable, even if you think they don't need them yet!)
If your child has any medications:
Please send a full 2-week supply of prescription medication with your camper and check in with the Health Aide upon arrival. It is helpful to include a brief note detailing specific dosage requirements for our health staff. Please note that it can be very difficult to fill prescriptions during the camp session.
It is not necessary to send over-the counter products for nausea, pain relief, cold and flu symptoms, allergies, etc. We keep an adequate supply of these items to provide to campers, as needed, as determined by our health professional.
