First Aid intervention policy: First Aid will always start with the most gentle remedy options first (for example, ginger tea for upset stomach, if allowed, before Tums).  That is why the medical permission form is so long and includes natural remedies as well as over the counter medicines. If you are unsure of any remedy, please put 'no' in the permissions.  There is also a place at the end of their form where you can ask someone from First Aid to call you ahead of camp to discuss any concerns you might have.

Antibiotic use policy: At Camp we are aware of the problems with over use of antibiotics. Our Standard of care for wounds is to clean the wound with Bactine Max with Lidocaine. This is a non-sting numbing spray. It kills 99% of germs. We then apply white petroleum jelly (Vaseline, neosporin without the antibiotic), and then bandage. If there is some extra reason for concern of what might have gotten into the wound, or if the bactine max is not allowed, only then would we apply neosporin with antibiotics.

•  If a camper, CA, or adult shows symptoms of a contagious illness (sneezing, coughing, upset stomach, etc.), they may be asked by First Aid staff to wear a mask to protect others, or sent home. 
• At Wil-LO-Linn, campers may attend camp with a positive Covid test IF they are not showing symptoms (asymptomatic), but must wear a mask to protect others from infection.
• Campers should not be sent to camp if they have signs or symptoms of a contagious illness, had a temperature in the last 24 hour period (a fever as defined by: a body temperature of 99.5 degrees or higher for an extended period of 2 hours or more, a fever will be considered 'over' once a normal body temperature of 99.4 or less has been maintained for 24 hours or more without medication), vomited or had diarrhea more than once in the last 24 hours, or has a known contagious disease like pinkeye.

Send-home policy - We reserve the First Aid tent for campers who are truly sick or injured, not in need of a break or quiet place. (We have a special place for that, if needed, and it is not First Aid tent).

All Campers should have AT LEAST one person listed on their Camper Release list who can pick up the camper if they are sick or injured within 30 minutes or so of a call.  We do this because camp is never fun when you are sick. It's loud, busy, hot and it is not comfortable for them when they are feeling awful.

Below are the specific First Aid limitations for different types of issues:

Illness: A camper may not spend more than 30 minutes in First Aid after receiving treatment, without being asked to go home.

Injury: A camper may not spend more than 1.5 hours in First Aid tent in one day without being asked to go home.
