All medical information is housed on the Parent Dashboard. Parents can easily input all of their child’s information before coming to camp. A complete physical exam is required for all campers within 12 months of the camp session they attend.

During the week, nurses track and log medication dispensation and ensure that your child is in good health. All medications must be checked in with our nurse upon arrival and are returned to parents on check-out days.
