Bus transportation is available from St. Christopher’s Hospital in Philadelphia, PA (Week 1 Only); A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE (Week 1 & 2) ; Lehigh Valley Hospital in Lehigh (Week 2 Only). Other campers will need a ride to and from camp.
Our team of nurses distribute medication to our campers as is prescribed by their physician. Medication distribution is handled with discretion and privacy in mind, and is not made to be the focal point of the children’s camp experience.
All allergies should be listed on the camper’s medical form filled out by their physician prior to coming to camp. Anyone working with your child will be made aware of their allergies and will be educated on how to handle each situation.
The medical team is comprised of a doctor and a team of nurses. Many of our nurses work with the campers year round in the medical centers, and are already familiar with their specific needs.
