Health & Safety
General Safety
-
Proper Footwear: Bring shoes that have backs or backstraps. This prevents injuries during physical activity and wandering through rougher terrain.
-
Sun Safety: We love spending time in the sun at camp! In order to stay safe in the sun make sure your camper brings sunscreen, a hat, a reusable water bottle, and shirts that cover their shoulders. ​​
-
​Lice: Upon arrival, campers will receive a "Complementary Head Massage" which makes sure they do not bring any unwanted friends to camp. We encourage parents to check their campers prior to arrival to limit surprises.
-
We encourage families to ensure that all vaccines (mumps, rubella, covid, chicken pox, etc) are up to date and documented so that we can ensure the safety of all campers and staff.
Medical Needs
-
We have a qualified Camp Medic on duty 24/7.
-
Every member on our staff team is required to be certified in first aid.
-
Please discuss any medical concerns with the Camp Medic upon arrival.
-
In case of emergency, your child will be taken to the St. Thomas-Elgin General Hospital. You will be asked to meet us there.
-
Allergies: Please communicate if your camper has allergies to the Camp Medic upon arrival. If your camper has food based allergies or dietary restrictions, explore the "Food at Camp" page for more info.
Medication at Camp
-
ALL medications must be in their original containers and left with the Camp Medic.
-
If your child requires a puffer their counsellor will carry it with them in their first aid kit.
-
Medication is administered only by the Camp Medic and all relative medical information is kept confidential with the Supervisor, the Directors and the campers counsellor as necessary.
-
If your camper requires any over-the-counter medication, such as Tylenol, Benadryl, etc, we can provide it based on our approved medication list. If you would not like them to receive such medication, let the Camp Medic know upon arrival. ​
