Frequently Asked Questions

The health of our campers and staff is always an important part of a successful summer camp.  We had only a handful of campers sick last summer. As always, we thoroughly clean cabins between sessions and encourage the practice of good hygiene in our campers. Communication with parents is a priority when it comes to camper health and safety.

If you have a question or concern about your child's medical care while at camp, please reach out directly to our camp nurse at Nurse@camprio.org . This is the most efficient way to get in touch.

 Our staff is trained and certified in every activity we offer as well as First Aid and CPR certified. We have a Camp Health Aide who will attend to any medical needs that arise as well as administer medications that you send. We will ensure that your child gets plenty of water while they are here, and will encourage them to eat so they have the energy they will need. In addition, we have a child protection plan in place to ensure that Camp RIO is a healthy, safe place for your child to thrive!

Camp RIO will provide Breakfast and Lunch to children who attend Day Camp. Click HERE to see the menu. If you would like to pack a lunch for your child, you are welcome to do so.  

Medications will need to be sent with your camper every day for day camp. You will need to hand them to the camp nurse during drop-off (or the bus driver) and they will be checked-in with our camp nurse upon arrival. Medications will be returned through the nurse/bus drivers during pick-up at the end of the day.  A medication administration form must be filled out and included with any medication sent (unless sent electronically in advance). Please email nurse@camprio.org if you need assistance with this.
