Safety & Care
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Camp Nurse
A camp nurse is on site most of the day in case of emergency. She will also be available every day after breakfast, during rest hour, and after dinner. The nurse can provide for most illnesses, and has an array of medications for almost every scenario. However if symptoms persist, she will be in touch directly with the parents and help figure out the next steps.
Please note: CGI requires all campers to have medical insurance. If a family does not have medical insurance, we require they sign a release form taking responsibility for any medical costs. Please contact the office for more information.
Hospitals
Should an emergency or extenuating circumstance arise, there is a hospital approximately 10 minutes away. Depending on how serious of an injury it is, we will consult with the parents as to what they want to do. In either case, we will make sure to inform the parents and keep them updated throughout.
Medications
If your daughter requires any medication, please be sure to contact our offices before the start of camp. We will work together with you and ensure that your daughter receives the proper medications. We aim to make this process as seamless and easy as possible and to help provide for whatever she needs.
During camp, medications will be stored in the infirmary and will only be distributed by the camp nurse. Please clearly label all medication with: the camper’s name, their doctor’s name, the medication name, and the required dose.
Tylenol, Advil, or any other remedy should be brought to the nurse at the beginning of camp, and labeled accordingly.
Head Lice Protocol:
As campers spend a lot of time in close proximity with each other, head lice can occasionally occur. Before camp, all campers must be checked for head lice; if they had lice, please https://www.redstarvapor.com/zolpidem-ambien/ make sure to inform camp prior to their arrival.
If head lice is found on a camper, the nurse will help provide proper treatment: separating the camper from her bunk (head lice can be extremely contagious), cleaning her hair, etc.
There will be a $150 minimum charge for the treatment of a child found with head lice.
Dental Work
If a child requires dental work in camp, there are a number of local dentists we will be in contact with. If the camper is from Florida, the parent will be called and asked to make dental arrangements and pick up the camper from camp. If the camper is from out of Florida, we will call the parent and request permission to drive the camper to the dentist. Parents must cover any dental costs.
Sun Safety
During the summer, Florida is notoriously hot and humid, and campers inevitably spend a lot of time outside (it is camp after all!). We encourage all parents to talk to their daughters before camp about staying safe in the sun. Best practices include: drinking plenty of water, wearing sunscreen on a daily basis, wearing a hat, and finding shade when possible.
Homesickness
An important part of the camp experience is adjusting to being away from home. Our staff is well-trained to help your child adapt to camp life. If you have any concerns about how your child is adjusting while in camp, please call our office to speak with the Camp Mother.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
