Abstract
Camp health services are the cornerstone of health and safety. From managing small injuries to medical emergencies, it is the area of camp that encompasses care, safety, health promotion, injury prevention, illness and injury management, and the overall “make you feel better” place. Hiring the right health staff and setting them up for success with appropriate tools, staff training, and solid processes are key to the success at summer camp. When there is a crisis, an injury, or an illness, the outcome can be devastating if not managed in a timely and effective way. Creating the best health center experience requires alignment of services to ensure the health program is going to deliver what your camp needs. When planning to provide health services, there are multifaceted areas to take into consideration in order to provide a quality comprehensive health program and to promote healthy camp communities.
