Health Guidelines

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS

For more information on COVID-19 related safety and protocols, please visit: https://brooklynnetsbasketballcamps.com/details/covid-19-guidelines/

MEDICATION

Medication must be given directly to our Medical Staff, in it’s original container with your child’s name on the prescription label on the first day of camp.

WE WILL REQUIRE A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER’S SIGNATURE (MEDICAL CLEARANCE) DATED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR BEFORE YOUR CAMPER’S START DATE.  UPDATED VACCINATION RECORDS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL CAMPERS AND SHOULD BE UPLOADED TO YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNT BEFORE CAMP STARTS.  

Helpful Tip: Please check with your child’s school for a copy of their current medical clearance.  We have found this to be the easiest for parents/guardians when meeting this requirement.

CAMP POLICIES DO NOT ALLOW DISPENSING, BY CAMP STAFF, OF ANY MEDICATION WHILE YOUR CAMPER IS AT CAMP.  ALL CAMPS HAVE CERTIFIED ATHLETIC TRAINERS ON SITE FOR CPR/FIRST AID AND SAFETY.  CAMPERS MUST BE ABLE TO SELF-MEDICATE.

ILLNESS

To ensure the health and safety of all campers, we request that your camper stay home to rest and recuperate upon the onset of the following conditions:

  • a temperature of 100.5º or above.
  • experiencing the contagious phase of any illness.

Please call the camp number if your child will be absent from camp, or notify us via email.

STAYING HEALTHY WHILE HAVING FUN

Hydration
It is important that our campers stay hydrated, and we encourage our campers to drink water throughout the day. Please bring enough water to last the entire day. Individual water bottles will be available on site. Our Coaching Staff will offer frequent reminders and give opportunities for water breaks during the camp day.

Sunscreen Tips
Apply sunscreen in the morning before camp and use a waterproof or water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30+.
