MEDICAL CONCERNS

Camp can be physically tiring, even exhausting. The facility or activities may require volunteers to manage uneven terrain, be at a high altitude, require hiking, climbing, running, swimming, lifting, stairs, and other strenuous activities depending on the volunteer position. Your medical condition (physical fitness, recent or chronic injuries, allergies, physical or emotional limitations, etc.) and even the medications you take may be affected by the activities, the foods served, the emotional challenges with the kids, or the sleeping conditions. (Note: Volunteers who stay in the sleeping quarters with the children are not allowed to have medications in those quarters. Medications must be kept in other secure locations as designated by Camp Leadership.)
Do you have any medical conditions or concerns, or are you taking any medications that you believe could prevent you from being an effective volunteer that we need to know about in order to help you be effective at camp?

Any Allergies
