Health and Safety

Health & Nutrition

Yum. Yum. Yum. Campers need a lot of fuel to power them through their adventure activities each day and our Director of Grub & Chow stays right on top of it by providing plenty of tasty meals made from high-quality ingredients and fresh, healthy produce. Our kitchens receive high inspection scores and our full-time cooks are certified in preparing food for campers to wolf down. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Chomp. Chomp. Chomp. And then there’s dessert!

Medication

Medication Collection & Distribution

At Group Camp, Camp Eagle staff members handle all distribution of medications to campers. Medication will be collected upon the camper’s arrival and given to a staff member for distribution throughout the week. Any emergency medications, such as inhalers and EpiPens, will remain on the camper or counselor at all times. Regulated refrigerators are available if needed.

All medication must be in its original prescription bottle with the camper/guest name, expiration date, and dosing information listed. Medications will be administered as prescribed by our designated Camp Health Director.

Water Safety

Lifeguards on Duty

Our Staff go through an extensive three-week training course to attain their lifeguard certification, CPR/AED/First Aid certification, and training for all of the adventure activities we offer.

We have a large number of trained lifeguards on duty at all times during all waterfront activities. Lifeguards supervise and oversee all waterfront sports and action features to insure that campers play safe and have the most fun possible.

AEDs

Automated External Defibrillators

Camp Eagle has four working Automated External Defibrillators (AED) located throughout campus. Each AED is maintained in good working order and is checked and signed off on monthly by a designated program director to assure that they are all working properly in case of a medical emergency that requires them.

Child Protection Plan

Your Child's Safety Comes First

Camp Eagle takes your child’s safety very seriously and has a Child Protection Plan in place to assure their well being, maintain constant vigilance and prevent abusive incidents from occurring. As a result, we have never had an incident of abuse. While we DO NOT discuss sexuality as part of our curriculum, it is important that you have an age-appropriate discussion with your child before attending camp. This will help keep your children safe any time they are away from you. Please review our Camper Code of Conduct with your child before they arrive, and educate them on what behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable. Let them know that if they encounter any problems, to go immediately to their counselor or closest available staff member for assistance.

First Aid

First Aid and Minor Incidents

Camp Eagle provides basic first aid for minor injuries and ailments for Group Camp, Summer Camp, Family Camp and Day Camp. Well stocked first aid kits are located near all of the major camp activity areas. They are regularly checked and accessible by all staff members. Trained staff also have basic first aid supplies on them at all times.

Our trained camp personnel and full­-time staff are responsible for treating minor scrapes and bruises and for making day to day medical decisions for campers within the limits of their training. For more serious injuries, conditions or ailments, trained Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals are summoned to administer care and treatment as is needed.

Lice & Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs & Lice Elimination

We hate bed bugs and lice, and are out to eliminate them! They are NOT welcome at camp and with the high volume of guests that come and go, we take many proactive steps to prevent them from showing up. We train our staff to look for signs of bed bugs, and we inspect for bed bugs between every camp session. But we can’t do it without you. So please do your part to insure these pests don’t come to our camp or your home.
