Safety and Health
Tick Prevention and Safety
• Nightly Tick Checks: Bathe and check for ticks every evening after camp.
• Insect Repellent: We recommend repellents containing 40% Deet. Above 50% offers no additional benefit.
Permethrin Information
We strongly advise against permethrin products as home-treated clothing may cause sickness, and permethrin kills aquatic life and insects in the streams where we play.
No-Technology Policy
No phones, GPS watches, or other technology. Staff have redundant communication technologies and will assist if campers need to contact parents.
