CARING FOR YOUR CHILD
Providing your child with the ultimate care and physical and emotional safety is our number one priority at camp. Policies have been developed to provide a thorough and safe program. During Orientation and Staff Training, all staff will be trained in safety rules and expectations for all aspects of camp life.
​
Our infirmary operates as the primary care clinic for the camp. Your child’s health record is maintained there and should they need medical assistance we are well equipped to help them. Our medical staff consists of one full-time nurse and three EMTs. The infirmary is fully stocked with medical supplies to aid with everything from minor abrasions to more serious conditions. We also carry a defibrillator on site. If our medical staff feels a camper needs treatment that we cannot provide, we have excellent medical facilities just 18 minutes away in Monticello. Our nurse can be contacted at nurse@maaminim.com
