Off to camp—safely

Do your homework before sending kids to summer camp JANET WERST

S

ummer means fun in the sun, water recreation and for many, summer camp! “The warmer months of May through September are when most accidental injuries happen whether playing at home, riding in a vehicle or enjoying summer camp. Parents should be well informed about how the camp they choose makes for a safe, healthy environment for kids,” says Dr. Peyton Taliaferro, Safe Kids member and Loveland based family physician.

Safe Kids offers the following tips to help parents make the best, safest choice for their child when it comes to summertime activities at day or overnight camp.

First, decide what kind of camp your child would enjoy including day camps, specialty camps, and sleepover camps. If your child has special needs or does best with extra time to acclimate to a new environment, start your research early to find the best camp to suit his needs and interests.

Next, contact the camps of your choice and ask some key questions: • What does a typical day look like?

• What kind of foods (meals and snacks) do they provide? Can they accommodate your child’s special dietary needs?

• What is the camp counselor-to-child ratio? This is especially important for any water activities.

• What type of training or certification requirements does the camp have for its staff (including CPR/First aid training)? Does the camp require a thorough criminal/background check for all staff ?

• What kind of safety gear is provided with various activities or should you pack your own? (i.e. helmets, life jackets, etc.)

• Will children be transported at any time during camp and if so, how? If not via school bus, then parents should provide a car seat/booster seat.

• How is medication administered?

| SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Safety tips for camp

Here are additional tips for parents so that safety stays top of mind:

•A lert the camp director of any special needs your child has and ask how they may accommodate your camper.

• I f your child will be biking at camp, make sure her bike is in good working order with • • • • • •

reflectors on the front, back and sides. Children should wear close-toed shoes and a helmet, every time.

Ensure your child wears a life vest when participating in water sports.

T each children to obey traffic rules. As a general guidelines, no child under the age of 10 should cross the street alone.

R emind children to wear their seatbelt when traveling in any vehicle; be sure to bring a car seat/booster seat and require that your child be properly restrained when in a car/van.

S end children with proper footwear (water shoes, closed toed shoes, hiking boots) for the various activities they will be doing.

A pply sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher to your child’s exposed skin 15 to 30 minutes before going out, and send a bottle of sunscreen with your child so that she can reapply.

S end a refillable water bottle with your child and encourage him to fill it several times a day in order to stay hydrated.

Active supervision by counselors, using proper protective gear every time and other simple prevention steps will help children avoid danger this summer while attending camp. For more safety tips, visit www.sklarimer.org.

Do they have a camp nurse on site?

• What is the camp’s discipline policy?

• Is the summer camp ACA (American Camp Association) accredited?

ACA Accreditation ensures that the camp has had a regular, independent safety audit that goes beyond regulations in most states. ACA accreditation is the best evidence parents

have of a camp’s commitment to a safe environment for their children.

• Parents should ask for a list of references – sometimes it can be helpful to talk with other families who have participated in the camp.
