WAYS ALDERSGATE KEEPS

CAMPERS SAFE & HEALTHY

​

• CAMP NURSE

  • Our nurse sees all campers who are sick or injured.  If they need more than basic first aid or need to go home, she will call you!​

​

• FIRST AID TRAINING

  • All our senior staff are trained in First Aid, CPR, AED, and administering EPI-Pens.  Our staff carry first aid kids and notify the nurse every time they administer first aid.

  • Our staff also receive training on spotting ticks, poison ivy, and signs of dehydration so they can help campers avoid these common summer hazards!

  • Our staff remind campers throughout the day to reapply sunscreen, use extra bug spray if going into the woods, and to drink water!

​

• ALLERGY AWARENESS

  • Aldersgate does not serve nuts or allow campers to bring food with peanuts or tree nuts.​

  • Our kitchen staff can accommodate most food allergies and dietary restrictions.

WAYS FAMILIES CAN KEEP

CAMPERS SAFE & HEALTHY

​

• PREPARE YOUR CAMPER EACH DAY

  • Make sure you camper brings bug spray (with DEET), sunscreen, and a water bottle to camp each day.  Counselors will remind them to use these items but they can't use them if they don't have them!

​

• KEEP SICK CAMPERS HOME

  • If your camper has a fever, is vomiting, or has diarrhea please keep them home until they have been clear of symptoms for 24 hours. 

​

• LEAVE NUTS AT HOME

  • If your camper brings their own lunch or snack, leave the nuts at home! We do not allow peanuts or tree nuts.​

​

• COMMUNICATE WITH OUR CAMP NURSE

  • If your camper has medical needs, please make sure our camp nurse is aware of them before camp begins!
