Policies and Procedures

Below is a selected list of our policies and procedrues. A more detailed list can be found in the Leader's Guidebook.

Medical Policies

Every participant must provide a copy of their annual health and medical form to be kept on file after they leave. Forms may be copied in the program center for 10¢ per copy.
To speed up check-in, you may send copies (NOT originals) of all medical forms to camp two weeks prior to your arrival.
State law requires all medication to be turned in at medical checks (during the check-in process) to the Health Officer in the original prescription labeled container. To ensure a faster check-in have a Scout medication form already filled out for each scout taking medication.
Bee sting medication, inhalers, an insulin syringe or other medication or device used in the event of life-threatening situations may be carried by a camper or staff member but should be brought to medical checks.
The above requirements are those of the State of Wisconsin and the Boy Scouts of America.

You will be assigned to your own unit table(s) during the camp orientation/check-in process on Sunday. You will also receive additional Dining Hall information then.
Units are responsible for providing two waiters per table, twenty minutes before and after each meal for set-up and clean-up. Directions will be given to the waiters.
Units are expected to report to the flagpole 10 minutes before breakfast and supper for the flag ceremonies. Units will then be dismissed for the meal.
Meals will consist of the main entrées, sides, cereal at breakfast, fruit or vegetables, pb&j at all meals, and a salad bar at dinner.
The serving method for all meals will be cafeteria style and seconds will be available when announced.
Grace will be said prior to each meal. As a sign of respect, we ask that you enter the Dining Hall quietly and with arms folded traditionally to prepare for grace.
Everyone is required to wear the official Boy Scout Uniform to all evening meals.
The youth restrooms are located in the basement of the Dining Hall and the adult restrooms are located in the lower level of the Program Center.

Shower buildings are located on each side of camp with separate rooms for under 18 boys, 18 and older men, women, and under 18 girls as needed. (Shower facilities in Hanna Venture Base are for staff use only).
Unit’s should sign up in the Program Center to help keep the shower buildings clean.
Campers need to bring all their own toiletries.

Available 24 hours a day in the lower level of the Program Centers.
For medication disbursement, the Health Office will be open a half-hour before and after each meal, and 1 hour prior to taps. Individual arrangements can be made if necessary. Please ensure that your Scouts are responsible in this matter. We recommended that one Leader be responsible for ensuring the Scouts receive their meds when they are supposed to.
If the Health Officer is not in the Health Office, report to the camp office for assistance.

Chapel is offered daily at the Kiwanis Chapel after lunch, around 1:25 pm.
The Chaplain can provide additional services upon request.
The Chaplain will be available for reflection, guidance, to help with religious awards, and to provide instruction for Chaplain Aide training. Just speak with the Chaplain to set a time to meet.
