  A water bottle is highly encouraged so that campers can easily stay hydrated! Water stations are set up around camp.

• Is the camp peanut-free?

  Brimmer Camp is Nut Safe. As a result of the growing number of campers with severe peanut/tree nut allergies, we are asking all camp families and staff to refrain from bringing peanut/tree nut products to camp. All camp staff have been trained in food allergies and advised of any food restrictions in their group. Counselors are present while campers are eating and no food may be shared during lunch.

• Is there a nurse available all day?

  Yes, we have a nurse on staff and on campus each day from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The nurse handles all minor health-care needs (cuts, scrapes, stomach aches, etc.) and dispenses medication. The nurse is available during camp hours to answer any questions or concerns. 
  
  Prior to registering, feel free to call the Summer Camp Office to discuss your child's specific needs, any concerns you may have, and to find out if our camp is an appropriate placement.
