Lice

Self contained communities like camps are especially vulnerable to head lice. We contract the services of an experienced company to check all campers as they arrive on Opening day. If any positive cases of lice are found, the camper is treated on-site. For campers who arrive with lice, the parents will be billed for treatment; which We will begin immediately so your son can stay in his cabins on the first night of camp. Before departure, the lice company will return for a final inspection. Any camper found to have lice will be treated at the camp’s expense. We encourage you to have your child checked for head lice prior to camp. If any sign of head lice is found, arrange for appropriate and immediate treatment well BEFORE your child leaves for camp and let us know that such treatment has taken place.

In Case of Emergency

You must fully complete ALL sections of the Emergency Contact Information and Summer Travel Plans online on your MYWINAUKEE account. Be sure to include two emergency contacts. If you are going to be out of the country/unreachable on your primary contact number at any point during the summer, please email us so we are aware.

Notification Procedures

When will our medical staff contact you?

1. If your son stays overnight in the health center to be monitored for any reason, you will be notified. We will generally not contact you if your son is seen by a nurse for routine problems, such as minor skin abrasions, headache and colds.

2. In the event that your son requires medical attention on site from our camp doctor or off site from another provider.

3. In case of emergency, we will contact you by phone as soon as possible.
