title: Health appraisal guidelines for day camps and resident camps. American Academy of Pediatrics. Committee on School Health.
abstract: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that specific guidelines be established for pre-camp health appraisals of young people in day and resident camps. Camp guidelines also should include reference to health maintenance, storage and administration of medication, and emergency medical services. Although camps have diverse environments, there are general guidelines that apply to all situations, and specific recommendations are appropriate under special conditions.
