Emphasis on Safety
The safety of every camper is our highest priority. Campers are
supervised by counselors and staff 24 hours a day and are escorted
by counselors, Senior Campers or Program Assistants while walking
around campus. Campers are not allowed off-campus with anyone unless
we have a completed camper release form executed by the camper's
parent or guardian. Each of our camps has campus security.
Supervised Internet Access
The Internet is used in supervised workshops and during supervised
free time. Camp rules prohibit the viewing of inappropriate websites
at any time. Campers may connect their personal computers to a local
area network in some of the dorm rooms but are blocked from accessing
the Internet. Senior Campers (campers entering the 9th grade or
higher after camp) are allowed internet access.
Healthcare
Parents and the camper's physician provide important information
to us prior to the start of camp so that we know about the camper's
medical conditions and needs as well as any dietary, activity and
other restrictions and limitations. We encourage parents to call
or email us to ask questions or discuss any healthcare related issues.
Staff Certified in First Aid & CPR
Our camps are located within 3 miles of a hospital. Our Massachusetts
camp has a nurse and health supervisor on premises and the Georgia,
Illinois and Pennsylvania locations have a health supervisor. All
of our Directors, Assistant Directors and selected counselors are
certified in Red Cross First Aid and CPR.
Health and Diet
Contact us and we will be happy to talk with you about special requests
for healthcare or diets.
Special Needs
Due to the complexities of administering a summer camp, a prospective
camper who may have a physical, emotional or other limitation, or
other restriction, that might require an adjustment to the physical,
educational or recreational program(s) or to any other aspect of
camp life must contact our office in writing by April 1st.
The types of limitations that require advance notice include, but
are not limited to, dietary restrictions (religious or otherwise),
visual, auditory, mobility impairments and emotional and psychological
impairments or other needs for program modification or adaptive
equipment or special medical needs. We reserve the right to determine
whether or not we can adequately meet the needs of any applicant
and to decline the registration of any individual when deemed appropriate.
