Health and Safety

Allergies

Please be aware that although Willow Springs Camp does everything in it's power to eliminate potential contagents, peanuts, nuts, and other substances that may cause an allergic reaction may be present at the camp. Willow Springs Camp requires that campers who have potentially life threatening conditions, such as peanut allergies, be able to manage their exposure to these substances, provide two sets of medication, be familiar with its use and carry the medication on them at all times.

Health and Contagious Illness Policy

We prioritize the well-being of all campers. Should any camper have health concerns or become ill with a contagious sickness, we'll reach out to their parent or guardian to arrange for them to be picked up. They are welcome to return to camp once their symptoms have subsided after 24 hours.

Medication Policy

Upon check-in, please deposit all medication to our Health and Safety Administrator (HASA), along with your completed Medical Authorization Form. The HASA will dispense them to your child at the appropriate times. In the case of Epi-pens, the camper must bring two (one to be carried with the camper at all times, and another to be placed in the dining hall for emergencies).

Camper Fee Information
