Safety & Healthcare
Safety at camp is of utmost importance. We desire for all of our campers to have the experience of a lifetime, pursuing adventure and new challenges. We want them to have the opportunity to do all of this in a safe, managed environment.
Our health care staff consists chiefly of two registered nurses, who are responsible for the overall health of our campers and camp as a whole. An off-site physician reviews and approves in writing all standing orders which are revised and updated annually prior to each summer’s opening. Medical care is available on a 24-hour basis by our RNs. A log is kept of any and all treatment provided.
Campers are required to have a health screening prior to their arrival at camp. This allows us to meet the specific needs of each camper, especially as it pertains to health and medication. Please visit our Download Forms page to download the appropriate Health Form for your screening. All medications are turned in to the nurses upon arrival and will be dispensed as directed during a camper’s session.
To learn more about nursing opportunities with our camps, call us at 800-968-1630 or email us at uncron@aol.com. You can also learn more in the Employment section of our web site.
For trips out of camp, we hire and train experienced staff to meet the medical needs of our campers. All counselors are Red Cross certified in CPR and First-Aid. Waterfront staff maintain Lifeguard and waterfront module certification as well as CPR for the Professional Rescuer. Trip staff hold a minimum Wilderness First-Aid certification and some are trained Wilderness First Responders.
