HEALTH CARE
Peace
of mind for parents typically begins with the assurance that the camp
will look after the physical well-being of their child. A large
percentage of our staff are certified by the American Red Cross in First
Aid, CPR, and Life Guarding. All program areas considered “high risk”
include at least one staff properly certified by the American Red Cross
for First Aid.
In addition, we keep a crew of professional medical staff to look after
every conceivable medical situation. We provide an infirmary complete
with an examining room, quarters for our medical staff (two nurses and
one doctor), a dispensary, an isolation room, and two wards for girls
and boys. Our nurses dispense medication to the campers (which is given
to the nurse by the parents at check-in) as specified by the family
physician. (Please note that our medical staff cannot alter the
medication unless the physician changes the prescription.) A licensed
physician has approved our medical procedures. Our nurses are licensed,
and the health care staff and doctors live at the camp. Campers
requiring special medical attention are taken to Baptist Hospital in
Winston-Salem. Should a child ever spend the evening in the infirmary or
be taken to the hospital, parents are immediately informed.
