POLICY STATEMENT

Health Appraisal Guidelines for Day Camps and Resident Camps

Committee on School Health, Section on School Health

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that specific guidelines be established for health appraisals of young people before participation in day and resident camps. Camp guidelines should include reference to health maintenance, storage and administration of medication, and emergency medical services. Although camps have diverse environments, there are general guidelines that apply to all situations and specific recommendations that are appropriate under special conditions. This policy statement has been reviewed and is supported by the American Camp Association.

Key Words: camping • recreation • child • adolescent

Abbreviations: AAP, American Academy of Pediatrics
