Our Summer Camp Healthcare Manager ensures the health and safety of all campers and staff. They will remain on-site and available 24 hours per day to respond in the event of an unexpected accident. All camp staff are First Aid/CPR/AED trained and certified to tend to camper needs.
Health Forms
The State of Minnesota requires children's camps to collect a certificate of health for each camper (minors and adults). The certificate of health will be based on a physical examination performed no more than 90 days before camp attendance, and the physician must sign it. You can read more about the statute here. This document is provided in the online registration an can be uploaded once complete.
Additional medical history information is collected in our online registration. This information helps our heath care staff know your camper's medical history in the event they are sick. These forms are confidential.
All medication will need to be turned in to the Health Care Manager upon arrival to camp. All medication must be listed on the camper's health form, be in the original container, and have the camper's name. Medication listed/not listed on CampDoc that is brought to camp is under the discretion of the healthcare manger in conversation with the parent/guardian.
It is recommended that campers who take medication during the school year should strongly consider remaining on their medication during camp, but this is ultimately at the doctor's discretion and should be noted on the medical form with the doctor's signature.
Northwoods Camp has a no head lice policy.
Please check all campers (youth and adults) for head lice before coming to camp. Everyone staying at camp will have a head check when they arrive at camp. If lice or nits are discovered, the individual may not remain at camp. At camp, children play in close contact with each other, simply exchanging hats, clothing, using another's brush or comb, pillow, or another personal article can result in the transmission of head lice from one child to another. Lice can even be transferred in the confines of a vehicle. It is best to check campers before they leave for camp.
Lice can be easily and effectively treated. However, we will not treat campers with lice at camp. The camper will need to return home for treatment. Those sent home for treatment may return for a later camp if they are found to be free of lice and nits.
If you do discover head lice, contact your doctor or the health department, or purchase a non-prescriptive head lice preparation from a drugstore, and follow the directions carefully.
Behavior Expectations
Discipline Procedures
Zero Tolerance
If the behavior includes any physical contact (with another camper, staff member, leader or officer), threats that are sexual in nature, include any other behaviors which brought harm to any person or put others at risk of being harmed, or being in possession of any tobacco or alcohol products, the camper will be immediately expelled from camp. A Safe From Harm report will be completed by the leader/officer/staff member who witnessed the behavior.
