Camp Starfish has a nurse who lives on site all summer in “Healthy House” – our camp infirmary. Trained to deal with boo-boos and minor injuries, the Camp Starfish nurse also supervises a team of Health Care Assistants and works with the Camp Director to ensure campers and staff stay happy and healthy. Additionally, each cabin has counseling staff certified in first aid. Camp Starfish also retains a local pediatrician each summer to provide advice and for the unlikely event that your camper gets anything more serious than a skinned knee. Nursing staff store all medications under lock and key. Only the Healthy House staff and medication administration-certified staff distribute medications. Parents/caregivers are asked to pre-pack medications in camp-provided blister packs prior to arriving at camp. The Healthy House staff meets with each family on Opening Day to discuss health care specifics for your camper.
