Health Care and Medical Information
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES & HEAD LICE
No child who has been exposed to communicable disease may attend camp before the period of incubation has elapsed. Please be sure to inspect your child for head lice 3 weeks prior to departure and again immediately before camp begins. Please notify the nurse if you have treated your lice within the past month prior to camp. This information will be kept confidential, but allows us to discretely recheck your child during their stay. Please note, you will be charged $250 if your child comes to camp with nits or head lice.
CAMP HEALTH CENTER
The health and safety of your child are of primary importance to us. Our Health Center is staffed with several nurses and nursing assistants who are available 24 hours a day. We also work closely with a local pediatric practice. The physicians and nurses are directly responsible for the medical care of your child.
Our nurses will notify you if your child spends the night in the Health Center. Our nurses do not call for routine visits that children may make to the Health Center. Examples of such visits may include a headache, stomachache, allergies or bug bites.
MEDICAL INSURANCE
Medical care provided by any of the camp nurses is included in the tuition. Should it be necessary for the well being of your camper to use outside medical care, the parent will pay for all expenses involved. The medical provider will bill your insurance company directly and will mail you an invoice for any expenses that are not covered by your insurance. Should it be necessary to obtain a prescription for your child, the local pharmacy will file claims for prescriptions with your insurance company, and we will charge the co pay on your credit card on file. Again, the receipt will be emailed to you. Also note, that should a medical provider require payment, your credit card on file will be charge and a receipt will be emailed to you.
CAMPER MEDICAL INFORMATION
In an effort to provide the best healthcare possible during your child’s stay at camp, we require our families to use the Pack My RX service to pre-package your child’s daily medication in pill form. Campers taking DAILY MEDICATIONS in pill form are REQUIRED to use Pack My RX. If ordering from Pack My RX, please be assured that all medication received from Pack My RX is checked closely on arrival. We believe this is the safest way to ensure your child’s medication is administered as it is ordered while at camp.
All camper information including prescriptions must be received by Pack My RX 30 days prior to the start of camp. Plan ahead and make your child’s appointment for their physical as soon as possible. Failure to submit your child’s medication to Pack My RX will result in a $250 stocking fee.
MEDICATIONS
All medications (prescription and non-prescription) must be kept in the Health Center according to state law. Emergency medication such as epi-pens and Rescue Inhalers may be carried if your doctor feels it is necessary if the appropriate documentation is received. Medications will be prepared for administration at meals by our nursing staff.
