Calling all Medical Professionals!

Health specialists onsite help by:

• Administer first aid and manage minor injuries or illnesses for campers and staff as needed.

• Maintain health records and ensure confidentiality of camper medical information.

• Provide guidance on health and safety best practices during camp activities.

• Respond promptly to medical emergencies and coordinate with local healthcare facilities when necessary.

• Conduct health checks and ensure camp facilities meet health and safety standards.

• Collaborate with camp advisors and staff to promote a healthy and safe camp environment.

Health specialists/volunteers should NOT:

• Interfere with the programming and planning of the camp committee onsite

• Infringe on youths’ safe space. In times where youth may be asking uncomfortable questions to speakers or are involved in open space discussions, you may be asked to roam about the campsite or other spaces

• Discipline campers. Should an issue arise or come to your attention, you should direct the concern to the camp advisor or YPSD staff onsite

• Give lectures

• Do a workshop or project for a group of youth
