Certified athletic trainer will be on site. Please be sure to include any information that will be important for them to know when filling out your son’s medical history form. If medication needs to be given, or there is a special circumstance our medical staff needs to be aware of, you will be able to meet with an athletic trainer the morning of check-in.
EPI Pens
We prefer the campers carry EPI Pen with them except in cases where kids are younger) in this case our trainer will carry). Nothing is better than the camper who would need it, know exactly where it is. If camper can administer, great. If not, our trainer or one of our coaching staff would have to.
Please provide special instructions when you register since there is space for that and then we should plan to connect at registration to review and put face to the situation.
