Yes! Camp Shomria has a nurse onsite 24/7. All medical issues are taken care of by the camp's nurse at the Mirpaah (infirmary). Every camper must have a complete medical form on file and all of the medications will be kept at the infirmary. Campers will come to the infirmary to get routine medications or when they are sick or injured. In case the nurse cannot provide help on site she will set an appointment with a local pediatrician or will refer the camper to the hospital. They will notify the parents as soon as possible and get their input unless it's an emergency. A camper who gets treatment outside of camp will be accompanied by a staff member at all times. We will do our best to keep parents updated, though medical information will be communicated only by the professionals (nurses or doctors). Upon a camper's return to camp the nurse will follow the physician's instructions and will make a follow-up call to the parents. Camp Shomria follows all of New York State's health regulations regarding policies and staff certification requirements. Every camper, counselor, and member of our staff is checked for lice and other common medical issues upon arrival.
