Infirmary Procedures and Policies

1. Infirmary & Medical Procedures

   To help keep our camp community healthy, please do not bring your child to camp on Incoming Day if they are experiencing symptoms of a viral illness. Symptoms may include a fever of 100°F or higher, sore throat, congestion, vomiting, and/or diarrhea.

   If your child develops these symptoms while at camp, they will be cared for in the infirmary and a parent or guardian will be contacted by phone. Children may not stay overnight in the infirmary and must be picked up from camp as soon as possible, no later than five hours after notification.
   

2. Doctor or Emergency Room Visits

   If a visit to a doctor or emergency room is deemed necessary, a parent or guardian will be contacted before an appointment is made or before the child is taken to the emergency room. Parents are encouraged to contact their insurance provider before their child is seen by our primary care physician.
   

3. Medications

   All medications brought to camp, including over-the-counter medications, must be in their original containers. Medications that are not in their original containers, or that have expired, cannot be administered. Please check expiration dates before sending medications to camp.

   Inhalers must be sent in their original boxes with a current prescription attached and must be listed on the camper’s health history form under medications.
   
   Parents must pick up all camper medications from the infirmary on Outgoing Day.
   

4. Medical Insurance & Costs

   For campers with medical insurance, doctor visits and prescriptions may be covered by their insurance provider. Any medical bills, prescription costs, or copays not covered by insurance are the responsibility of the camper’s parent or guardian and must be paid before the camper departs Ligonier Camp.
