This summer, to improve the process, we have hired Lice Be Gone, professionals in the field who will do each camper’s head check. They provide this service for many camps and schools. If a camper has lice, Lice Be Gone can treat it directly or our nurses can treat it with a medicated shampoo. The strategy is to find and eliminate it promptly, even before campers settle into their cabins, where it could spread. Of course, if lice is detected we will be sure to call you immediately.

Going this direction will allow camp to be free of lice and to ensure that we all have a happy and healthy camp season. We are doing our part and ask that you proactively check your camper for lice before they head up to Greeley for a summer of fun!

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out.

Healthy campers are happy campers!

We’re also so fortunate to have Rachel, our head nurse, with us year round. Rachel is married to Johnny, and they work as part of the director team at Lake Owego, our brother camp. Rachel is unbelievable! She’s a nurse, she’s a lifeguard, she’s a mom, and she’s part of our camp family! We couldn’t be luckier.

As we get closer to camp, if you have any questions about our health center, medication, or care during the summer, reach out to Rachel! She’s awesome, and she’s here for you. Just call the camp office and we’ll put you in touch! Thanks, Rachel, and thanks to our wonderful team of nurses. We are so lucky to have you at camp!
