The health and safety of our 600+ campers and staff each session is our top priority. We have an excellent safety record, and we do our best to be prepared for a variety of possible situations. We hold numerous county and state licenses for our camp, conference center, kitchen, pool, beach, and equestrian center, and we choose to be accredited by the American Camp Association. Our staff go through a rigorous training period before campers arrive as well.
Medical Staff
Our modern, air-conditioned Medical Center is located in the center of camp. Our onsite health staff is made up of two registered nurses and three medical assistants for each weekly session. These staff are responsible for administering medications and first aid to our campers and staff. If campers need more advanced medical care, we use an urgent care located 10 minutes from camp in the nearby town of North East, Maryland. The nearest hospital to camp is Christiana Care Cecil County Hospital in Elkton, Maryland.
Camper Medications
By Maryland state regulation, ALL camper medications including over-the-counter, prescription, homeopathics, and vitamins are kept with the Medical Staff.
