Golden Slipper Camp for Boys and Girls

Health and Safety

When your child is at Golden Slipper Camp, you can be assured that his or her safety is our first priority. We take every precaution to ensure that the well-being of your child is paramount in every activity.

• Here are some of the practices we follow:
  • As an accredited camp through the American Camp Association, Golden Slipper Camp adheres to and often exceeds ACA safety guidelines.
  • We maintain a ratio of three campers to every counselor or staff member to create optimum conditions for both their physical and emotional safety.
  • Each staff member is required to participate in a comprehensive training program so they not only know what to do in case of an emergency, but more importantly, they know how to prevent an emergency.
  • We've established accident and emergency procedures that we practice and put into place should a situation arise.

Our health care facilities are well equipped and well staffed with an expert medical team available to your child at all times. We employ several full-time nurses, who are actually on staff at Golden Slipper Camp. We call upon the services of a physician for minor injuries or illness, and in the unlikely event of more serious conditions, we are less than 10 miles to a hospital.

Golden Slipper Camp also employs full-time and well-trained security guards who are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They help us to keep our camp safe. Through radio communication, they are always available in case of an emergency. They patrol the grounds during the night, so we sleep soundly.
