Myra Pravda, RN, MSN is a registered nurse who has been a camp nurse for many years. She is the author of Off to Camp, a book about preparing to go to camp for the first time. There is usually no place to spend money at camp. If there is a camp store or canteen, your parents will put money there for you to spend. Most camps serve ice cream as dessert at some meals, at parties, and on special occasions.
Most camps require a child to have a physical before camp.
It is like the check-up you have before you play sports. If all of your immunization shots are up to date, and most kid's are, you will not need any shots. If you are going to a travel camp that is leaving the United States, you should ask your camp director. Most likely yes, especially if your friend is your age. You must make this request to the camp director before camp starts.
