Health & Wellness Center
The Camp Health Center plays an essential role in maintaining a safe environment. The Wellness Center is staffed by a registered nurse at all times, who oversees the administration of medications. Nurses also provide first-aid and preventative care, as well as assess if additional medical services are required.
Our registered nurses work in conjunction with Melissa Donais, who serves as our Health Care Consultant. Mrs. Donais is a board-certified family nurse practitioner (RN, FNP-BC) who is available for consultation with our staff at all times.
In addition to our health office staff, Activity Heads are first aid trained and CPR certified through the American Red Cross. All pool lifeguards have lifesaving training and are Water Safety Instructor certified. The boating waterfront is manned by two lifeguards and all boating staff is Small Craft Safety trained by the American Red Cross. Throughout campus, the staff has access to AEDs, first-aid kits, and emergency phones.
We are cautious about the foods we offer. While not a nut-free campus, we are nut sensitive. Our daily snacks provide a wide array of options to suit all campers. Families always have the option of packing their own snacks if they so wish.
Each child brings their own bagged lunch to camp. Lunches are refrigerated until served. Parents of campers with special diets should inform us of their child’s nutritional needs.
It is easy to communicate dietary needs with us through the forms completed during the registration process. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask. We are happy to do everything we can to ensure your camper’s health and safety. Families always have the option of packing their own snacks if they so wish. Families can also view the ingredients list of all camp-offered food here.
- All medications brought to campus must be in original containers and will be kept in the Health Center (except for some inhalers and EpiPens). Neither campers nor staff are allowed to keep any medication on their person, including vitamins and over-the-counter medicine.
All medication, except for those listed as part of our standing orders must be documented and signed for by a parent, using the Medication Administration Form. This will be explained in more detail as part of the registration process.
