INSURANCE

Providing medical insurance for the camper is the parent/ guardian's responsibility. All expenses due to illness are the responsibility of the parent or guardian. The Camp does carry a liability policy.

HEAD LICE

In order to prevent the spread of lice, NO CAMPER will be allowed to stay for camp if lice are found during our Medical Check at Registration.

MEDICAL PROCEDURE

Parents will be notified in the event of an emergency, injury, or sickness requiring medical attention. Refunds for early departure due to sickness or injury are given on a prorated basis. A parent or guardian must sign the medical release form.

MEDICATIONS

All medications must be turned in during registration and will be administered by the camp nurse throughout the week. Medications are to be in their original containers. No medication in substitute containers or with altered or hand written dosages will be accepted. Campers who require inhalers or other medication to be kept with them are required to have written permission from their medical doctor. Please present this written permission at registration.

HOMESICKNESS

In case of extreme homesickness, we will contact the parent or guardian to notify them of the situation and allow them to decide on the camper's stay. No refunds are made for early departure due to homesickness.

LAUNDRY

Campers should bring enough clothes for the duration of their stay. If it is necessary to do laundry in the middle of their week or weekend stay, an additional $5.00 should be paid during Registration to cover laundry cost.

SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS

Due to the number of individuals we serve at each meal, we are unable to meet all special dietary needs and menus. Some exceptions may apply. Please contact GAC prior to registering for camp to see if we can meet your child's needs.

PHONE TO USE

Due to the number of campers and Staff, phone availability is limited. We discourage phone use by campers except in cases of emergency. Due to the daily schedule and our inability to readily get in contact with a camper, parents are also discouraged from calling, except in case of an emergency.
