COVENANT POINT HEALTH INFORMATION PAGE
A qualified, approved
medical person (Camp Health Office) as outlined by the State of
Michigan is in charge of health service needs each week of camp.
That person will live in the Health Center on site and be at the camp
from 4:00pm Sunday through 10:00am Saturday. When the majority of
campers leave the camp for any field trip this medical person
will accompany them.
A local Iron River physician is on-call and available for consultation 24 hours a day.
The Health Center has two separate sleeping areas, a handicap accessible bathroom, a locked exam and storage room with a refrigerator for keeping supplies, first aid items, over-the-counter drugs and medications. It also has a phone and availability of a radio to communicate with the island. The CHO has lodging in the same building in order to easily monitor camper needs.

As a matter of camp policy
parents/guardians of campers will be notified in the following
situations:
1. whenever it is determined by the camp staff that the camper should see a physician.
2. whenever a camper has been hospitalized.
3. whenever emergency treatment has been obtained.
4. whenever the camper has been sick for more than a 24-hour period and/or the camper's temperature exceeds 102F.
5. whenever staff feel that parental advise or consent is needed.

The Camp Health Office dispenses all
medication and maintains a medical log of all campers seen during
the week. First aid supplies are located throughout
the camp. An AED is ready for use in the main office. All staff
who work directly with campers are current in CPR.
All campers must have a recently
completed Point health form upon arrival for registration. This
form must be signed by a parent or guardian. The
State of Michigan does not require a completed physical exam
signed by a doctor or nurse. Campers must also have insurance
information and the signed parental release statement on the
health form giving limited power of attorney so that we are able
to secure emergency treatment for your child in the event that you
cannot be reached.
Visits by family and friends during the
camp week are prohibited because this creates scheduling problems and
conflict with camp programming. Emergency phone calls will be
received at the camp office, 906.265.2117. Please do not promise
your children that you will talk with them during their time at
camp. This practice, though comforting to the parent, almost always
promotes or increases feelings of homesickness. Campers are not
permitted to call home, so please encourage your camper to send mail to
you as an alternative.
