HEALTH & SAFETY
Our Executive Director and Camp Nurse are working closely with the RI Department of Health and our fellow Methodist camps across New England to develop COVID plans to ensure a safe and healthy summer. We will post this information as soon as it is available!
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!

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, posion ivy, and signs of dehydration so they can help campers avoid these common summer hazards!

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.
