Safety

Our campers’ health, safety and security are paramount.

Health Clinic

Each camp has its own health clinic, staffed 24 hours a day by registered nurses and a doctor. Each clinic contains private examination rooms and private overnight rooms. We are a short distance from a major hospital in Glens Falls, New York and EMT support is stationed locally.

If a child is injured, put on medication, has a fever or is admitted to the health clinic, we contact parents immediately.
