Health & Safety

The health and safety of each camper is of utmost importance to the directors and counselors. Every safety and health precaution is taken to protect campers from sickness or accident. A nurse or person trained in first aid is on duty at all times, and emergency care is available a short distance away.

The camp nurse at Camp Woodmont is in charge of the general wellness of everyone at camp. The camp nurse is a Registered Nurse with 2 or more years of practical experience. During camper check-in (Sundays 3 – 5 pm), all parents meet with the nurse to discuss health concerns and medications. All medications must be in writing, signed and dated. The American Camp Association does not allow any medications of any type to be kept in the cabins by the campers.

We always seek medical treatment if there is the slightest question as to whether or not a child is ill or injured, and the parent will be contacted immediately. The camp complies with all local and state health and safety requirements, as well as with the standards of the American Camp Association (ACA).
