We are committed to providing the highest level of healthcare for our campers and staff while they are at camp.
While we take safety very seriously, there is always a risk of injury or illness while at camp. We also realize that many campers come to camp with pre-existing medical conditions that need some attention and care.
The Medical Care Team includes nurses and/or other medical field personnel. Due to the closer proximity to medical care, we do not have staff doctors at camp.
We have fully stocked Health Center at camp which are furnished with equipment, supplies, and medications that allow us the ability to treat a wide range of illnesses and injuries as they occur. There are Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s), first aid supplies, and other emergency equipment available as needed. At the direction of our Medical Care Team, we can decide to transport a patient to a nearby hospital or urgent care, in coordination with parents/guardians as permitted.
Should your camper become ill while at camp or sustain an injury, they will be instructed to tell their cabin leader and have them go with them to the Health Center for assistance. We will contact you according to our Parent Call Policy.
These will be collected at Camp Check-in and dispensed by the Camp Medical Team. We consider any vitamin, supplement, or over-the-counter therapy that is taken to treat a condition or maintain health to be a “medication”.
We are not able to give a medication that we cannot identify and dose from the original container. Sending medication in anything other than the original container may result in the camper not receiving it.
Camp Medical Team will administer all medications, prescribed and OTC, while your camper is at camp. Scheduled medications are generally given around mealtimes and at bedtime. As needed medications will be given when a camper sees the Health Center staff for evaluation. Medical Team staff collaborate with campers and cabin leaders to ensure they receive their scheduled medications, but it helps if you tell your camper before they leave what meds (if any) they should expect to be taking, so they’re aware.
Medication doses will be administered per physician order or written instruction from you.
We keep a comprehensive stock of over the counter (OTC) medications in our Health Center. Feel free to leave standard OTC meds at home. If you believe your camper benefits by using their own OTC medications, you may add these to the medication list and bring the medication in the original bottle to camp.
During the registration process, parent/guardian can approve administering basic OTC medications without a call home. Examples are Tylenol, Benadryl, Ibuprofen.
If your camper comes to the health center with a concern and requires a medication that is not available in the Health Center, the nurse or doctor will discuss options with the parent/guardian.
Medication doses will be administered per physician order or written instruction from you.
On the final day of camp, all non-rescue medications will be placed in your camper’s suitcase by their cabin leader before boarding the bus. This helps ensure medications make it home safely with your child.
Rescue medications—such as EpiPens, inhalers, or diabetic supplies—will either stay with your camper or remain with their cabin leader during the return trip, depending on the specific situation.
If the cabin leader has rescue medications, they will hand it directly to a parent or guardian at pick-up.
Join us for one Easter Service at 10am at Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett. We look forward to celebrating our Risen King Jesus with you all!
