Medical info
Our medical systems are in place to keep your child safe and ensure that they get the medical attention they need over the summer, whether it’s daily medication or something that needs immediate attention.
Our mirpa’ah (health center) is staffed by a registered nurse, and a health care provider (physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) is either on site or available on-call by phone. They administer campers’ routine medications and are able to provide care for common injuries and ailments, whether a camper needs a hug and a bandaid or a strep test and antibiotics.
Backcountry trips leaving camp always have a staff member with wilderness first responder or EMT certification as well as medication administration training. We have safety protocols specific for masa’ot (backcountry excursions) that are reviewed with staff throughout the summer. Masa’ot always have a means to contact camp and our health center for further support, either by radio, cell phone, or satellite messaging.
