Medical Care Requirements
Michigan State Law requires that all campers provide
the camp with their health history and parent/guardian
signed release statements for any health care. Campers
will not be accepted on Opening Day without a health
form. Michigan law also requires that all medication
(prescription & non-prescription) be stored in the camp’s
Health Facilities and dispensed there. Health history
forms and other medical requirements are sent with
final instructions after campers are enrolled and are due
30 days prior to arrival.
Health Facilities
The Health Lodge provides first-aid care for campers
and deals with any emergencies which may occur. A
camp nurse and other certified personnel are available
24 hours a day to assist campers with medical needs.
Ambulance and hospital care are available 15 minutes
from the camp. Transportation is provided by qualified
health personnel.
Special Accommodations
Arrangements for enrolling children with significant
physical limitations, medical concerns, or cognitive/
social disabilities must be made prior to submitting
the camp application. Examples include but are not
limited to diabetes, life-threatening allergies, injectable
medications, mobility concerns, and autism spectrum
disorders. To help Blue Lake staff properly prepare
for your camper, submit detailed information with
application.
Dietary Restrictions
Blue Lake provides three balanced meals daily with
regular and vegetarian options and an extensive salad
bar. If your child is not able to consume menu items
due to a significant health restriction such as a lifethreatening
allergy or a serious gastrointestinal disease,
you may supplement our menu with personal food or
beverage. However, some limitations apply. Call for
further details and arrangements prior to enrolling.
