WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF MY CHILD IF SHE GETS SICK OR IS INJURED?
Danbee’s health care staff consists of five nurses and a physician that cover our health center seven days a week and 24 hours a day. During orientation the health care staff reviews each of our camper’s medical history and medications. Sick call is held after breakfast and dinner, but campers who are ill are escorted to the health center by their counselor at any time. Children receive routine medications at mealtime and bedtime according to the documentation on their health history. Local physicians attend to campers who need to see a specialist. Our doctors are affiliated with the Berkshire Medical Center, a satellite hospital of UMASS Medical, located 15 minutes from camp.
