All campers must have had a physical exam by a licensed provider WITHIN 2 YEARS of their last day of camp. A copy of a medical evaluation from your child’s school, sports activity, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts or any other youth-oriented organization is acceptable.
What is healthcare like at camp?
We have a nurse on duty at camp every session. Our nurse distributes all medication to campers (over-the-counter or prescription), care for illness and respond to any emergency situations. In addition, our staff is trained in First Aid and CPR. The closest hospital to camp is less than 15 minutes away.
How do I know my child will be safe at camp?
Safety is always our top priority at camp. We are accredited by the State of Connecticut and the American Camp Association- meaning that we meet or exceed more than 300 standards of health, safety, and program excellence. Our staff goes through a minimum of one and one-half weeks of staff training and are certified in First Aid and CPR, our waterfront staff are Red Cross lifeguards, and our program staff are current in all their program certifications.
Do I need to be a 4-H member to attend camp?
No, it is not necessary to be a 4-H member to attend camp.
Can we visit camp before signing up?
Yes, we have several Open Houses each year. All tours are led by summer and leadership staff. Check our Event Calendar for upcoming dates. If these days are not convenient for you, please feel free to contact us to set up a private tour with one of our camp staff.
