Health & Safety

Camp Sequoia is equipped with a team of nurses who take care of whatever minor health concerns may be troubling a camper.

Our team of resident nurses LOVE the kids at Camp Sequoia. Our nurses participate in every aspect of camp. Whether it be fishing trips, throwing a baseball, playing in the pool, our nurses are engaged with campers. In addition to routine administration of medications (our nurses come to the campers so that campers aren’t lining up for meds) our medical team believes in well-person nursing. This means that they serve as another set of adult eyes. They check on personal hygiene, varied diet, and making sure that sunscreen happens regularly and frequently. If needed, Camp Sequoia has two hospitals in close proximity (less than a 5 minute drive). In addition to our medical team, many of our staff have additional levels of training. This includes Crisis Prevention, Mental Health First Aid, CPR, Wilderness Survival, and emergency procedures to ensure that our campers are supported on every level during their activities.

Security

On campus, we are proud to have overnight staff. These folks wake up at 4 pm so that they can do evening activity with the kids and get to know them. These trained individuals provide another layer of support for our community through the overnight hours.
