Camp happens outside and protection from Sunburn is always a concern.

We have found that the best way to prevent Sunburn is to work together with each Camp family and follow three simple steps:

1. Apply generous amounts of sunscreen (45 spf or higher) before the child leaves home.
2. Pack and remind the child to reapply sunscreen throughout the day.
3. Group Counselors are trained to monitor each Camper's use of sunscreen and reapply sunscreen at regular intervals.

Finally, Counselors will greet and check for (and apply as necessary) sunscreen when Campers arrive for a day of fun in the Sun.
