Do you provide medical care at Day Camp?
Day Camp locations have complete first aid kits. Medication required during the day will be kept by the Day Camp Administrator to be dispensed as directed. Parents indicate if a camper’s EpiPen or inhaler needs to remain with them at all times.
We contact parents/guardians when:
- a camper has significant bumps, bruises or cuts with potential for scarring, especially on the face
- there is something out of the ordinary (ie. seizure/accident)
- a camper has had an exposure to a contagious disease, bug or parasite
- a camper is sent off-site for professional medical treatment
- any other concerning medical issue staff deems necessary to communicate with parents
As an important part of our sun safety plan, campers and staff wear t-shirts during water activities. Our staff will ensure the campers’ sunscreen is applied regularly (after every 2 hours of sun exposure).
Campers’ water bottles are refilled regularly to stay properly hydrated.
On especially hot days (ie. extreme heat alerts/advisories) we will take extra care to ensure campers are hydrated. Outdoor activities may be adjusted and campers will have limited time outdoors. Water breaks will happen every 15 minutes (whether campers are thirsty or not!).
We work to limit all food allergen exposure at Day Camps as much as possible. We serve only peanut/tree nut free snacks, and parents are to send only peanut/nut safe snacks and lunches.
