Camp Nurse
If a camper is feeling unwell or is concerned about her well being there are daily opportunities for her to see our camp nurse. Our camp nurse will assess her and will conclude which treatment is necessary. If your daughter is unwell for an extended period of time, the nurse will contact the parent to discuss further treatment.
Nurses Hours:
The nurse is available 3 times a day and in the case of emergency.
Nurses hours are: After Breakfast, Rest hour and after Dinner.
Medications
There are many campers that take daily medications for a variety of reasons. Informing the camp about daily meds in advance will ensure that your daughter is cared for properly once she arrives at camp. Prior to the start of camp, the camp nurse will call and discuss the care needed. Confidentiality and professionalism is a key factor to your daughters health. We hope to maintain both.

Campers are checked for lice upon their arrival to camp. If lice is found on a camper, she will be separated from her bunk and cleaned out properly before being allowed to join the campers again.
