Camp Connections practices a two-deep policy where there are always at least two staff persons present wherever a member is present at all times. Camp Connections does not provide medical attention or treatment to members. If medical attention is needed for a member at any time beyond First Aid treatment, members must have doctor and emergency contacts, medical facility, prescription medication, and food allergy information included in their files. There will be a staff nurse available for First Aid, medication administration, and food allergy purposes only. There will also be at least one staff person trained in CPR in each classroom. CPR can only be performed by the certified staff person while another staff person calls emergency. All Camp Connections staff persons have been trained on policies regarding negligence and protected health information.
Does your child have any food allergies?
Medications
Medication Consent
If you marked “Y” for assistance, be sure to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT with the Vice President of Youth Services to discuss and demonstrate proper medication administration. These details will be entered into our system and maintained in the daily log.
Camp Connections and Ability Connection ensure the utmost care when assisting members requiring mobility and toileting assistance. We understand that this support may be related to cognitive development, physical development, or both. Camp Connections is staffed with trained and willing aides to accompany, assist, and “habit train” individuals who may require this support.
Support System
If there is a support system already in place for your child, please share those details below and during the face-to-face (in-person or virtual) follow-up meeting following your packet submission. Camp Connections staff will reinforce what you already have in place to maintain consistency in the habit training.
If there is no consistent habit training in place, Camp Connection is willing to assist and will provide you with some suggestions on the best practices currently in use.
Does your child require any hygiene or toileting assistance?
Is there a support method in place for toileting?
If you marked “Y” for hygiene and toileting assistance, be sure to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT with the Vice President of Youth Services to discuss and demonstrate proper hygiene and toileting assistance. Camp Connections staff persons designated for hygiene and toileting require in-service training by the Ability Connection staff nurse or the Ability Connection Training Center Director. These details will be entered into our system and maintained in the daily log.
