Medical concerns are a top priority at our camp, which is why the Health Center is staffed by a physician who is on our grounds 24/7, along with two nurse practitioners and two registered nurses! They are an outstanding team of medical professionals. All members of the team have previously worked at Camp Echo, in our self-contained, fully equipped care center, or at other camps or child care facilities. They bring extensive experience and a special passion for working with our campers to Camp Echo. And, we are less than 20 minutes from a level 2 hospital in the event of an emergency.
          
Health Call takes place after every meal, and campers are encouraged to come in for a visit when they (or their counselor) think they need medical assistance. Nurses dispense medications at mealtimes in the Dining Hall, using CampMeds, a quick and safe pre-packaged system (we have a method for nighttime medications, too!).

If a camper is staying in the Health Center overnight, parents will receive a call from one of our nurses. We are committed to maintaining a high level of communication between camp and home when it comes to your child’s health. And, by the way, should there be an overnight stay, rooms are cozy and – yes – have TVs and VCRs, along with books, crafts, and board games! Camp Moms also always pay additional visits to our overnight guests.
