• The health center

  The health center sits beside the lodge, with a nurse on duty through every session. Campers go there for a scraped knee, a fever or their daily medicine, and we call you whenever a camper has been seen for more than a bandage.

• Medicine and allergies

  Medicine comes to camp in its original package with your written instructions, and the nurse keeps it and gives it at set times. Tell us about allergies when you register, and we ask what we need privately.

• At the lake

  Swim periods run at the dock with a lifeguard on the deck and counselors in the water. Every camper takes a swim test on the first day, and every camper in a boat wears a life jacket. When a storm comes, activities move into the lodge.

• Nights in the cabin

  Counselors sleep in every cabin. Night staff walk the paths on a set schedule, and the health center has a night line that reaches the nurse. We practice fire and lake drills in the first days of every session.

• Arrival and departure

  A parent or an adult you have named signs your camper in on Sunday and out at the end of the session, and we ask for ID. We release a camper only to an adult on your list.

• Mail, phones and visiting day

  Phones stay home. Campers write and get letters, and families come on visiting day. If something comes up, the office calls you.
