Caring for Your Camper...

Is this a safe place to send my children?

At Impact 2818, we build systems around this motto; “Bad things don’t happen here because we don’t let them.” In planning, we conceptualize every possible end result to remove any guess work in keeping your child safe.

All of the counselors are properly trained and prepared, the features (waterfront, ropes courses, etc) are effectively staffed and diligently checked to rigorous standards, and camp medics, along with all of our staff, are well prepared for everything from bumps and bruises to unexpected situations.

The welfare of our campers and guests is our utmost priority. Every individual on site, with the exception of campers, is run through the National Sex Offender Public Registry and Area Records Criminal Background Check.

All Impact 2818 program staff are CPR and First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross. Any treatment of campers is done in accordance with our First Aid Protocol & Procedure book.

• All medication must be brought in its original labeled container and given to the Camp Medic at Check-In on the first day of camp.

• All camper medication is stored and administered by the Camp Medic.

• Inhalers, bee-sting kits and EpiPen's are exceptions and are carried by the camper’s counselor (by them, if high school) and administered as needed.

• Camp Adventure, Camp Indicoso, Camp Lakewood, Pine Creek Camp, and Camp Rivervale distribute first aid supply bags to each counselor to keep with him/her at ALL times throughout the week. This bag contains supplies for treating minor injuries.

• At Epworth Forest, all supplies are stored and administered by the Camp Medic. During That Thing, campers should report to the First Aid Station for cuts, bruises, scrapes, or to receive any medical treatment. Medication is handled by the local church or can be administered by the Camp Medic.
