Frequently Asked Questions
I need to take a medication. How is this handled?
First and foremost, please list all medications the camper takes on the Camp Medication Form. Campers are responsible to ensure that they take their medications at the appropriate time and in the appropriate dose.
I have a medication that needs to be refrigerated. Is there a refrigerator on site?
Yes. All campers stay in the same dormitory (Quintard Hall) and there is a refrigerator available in the dormitory where medication can be safely stored. There is also refrigeration available in Hamilton Hall, where most of the program will take place.
I have an allergy. How is that handled?
Please include all allergy information on the Camp Medical Form so that we can be prepared to ensure the camper has access to any needed medications (e.g., epi-pen) at all times. We keep generic allergy medications (e.g., Benadryl) on site and you can indicate on the Camp Medical Form if we have permission to distribute that to the camper if needed.
I have a mobility issue. How will accessibility be handled?
All of the camp activities and events are within walking distance on our campus (i.e., lodging, dining, classrooms, library, etc.). However, we understand that campers may arrive to camp with mobility issues and it is our goal to ensure that all campers can move safely and accessibly through campus. We always have a golf cart on site for travel between buildings and a larger van available for outings, hikes, and more as needed.
I will need an accomodATION WHILE IN THE PROGRAM. hOW IS THIS HANDLED?
We handle requests by, first, collecting information via our intake forms for your camper upon their registration. Our University Americans with Disabilities Act webpage provides several resources, including the form to request specific accommodations as a "guest/visitor" to campus. Please stay in touch with us at summa@sewanee.edu with any questions, concerns, or requests.
