Yes, a registered nurse is on duty during the entire camp day.  Our nurse will contact you by phone or note in the event that your child is seen for any reason beyond a routine issue.  Injured or ill children will need to be transported home or to a doctor’s care by parents/guardians except in case of emergency.  If for some reason, such as illness, the camp nurse has to leave camp, a certified first-aider will cover for the nurse in her absence. (Nurses are not on duty for our Overnight and Up-to-Night programs. There is always a first-aider present.)

Yes. The camp nurse can meet with you anytime during the camp day, or before or after camp by appointment. She can also plan to be here for appointments the week before camp begins.

Medications can be delivered to our camp office, or packaged and labeled carefully and handed to your child’s bus counselor or van driver. All medications require an AuthorizationTo Administer Medication form signed by a doctor.

Any camper who is able to participate in a group setting with a 5:1 ratio is welcome. Campers requiring a 1:1 ratio are also welcome if the special needs counselor is provided by the camper’s family, an outside agency or if arrangements are made with the camp to provide said counselor. We want to do what is best for each individual camper and recommend that parents of special needs children call us to discuss whether or not our camp is the best setting for their child.
