Please wash and dry all items you plan to bring to camp on the highest heat setting BEFORE and AFTER your weekend (this includes clothing, pillows, sheets, stuffed animals, towels, etc.). This will help prevent the spread of any lice, bed bugs, fleas, and any other transferable pests. For more information on preventing, identifying, and treating bugs, visit the CDC website.
DO NOT BRING: Cell phones, expensive jewelry, large sums of money, snacks, gum, soda, candy, or cigarettes. If brought to camp, these items will be taken and returned at the end of the week. Reminder: There is a 3 bag limit due to space being limited.
**Please reference our Camp Barnabas Policies for specifics on these dress code items. We strive to glorify Jesus Christ in everything we do. We especially want campers to see our staff and missionaries as living examples of Christ. These policies are also designed for your safety and wellness during camp.
We strive to provide everyone at camp with the safest, most current medical practices. If able, campers should bring medication in pre-packaged (multi-dose strip packaging or multi-dose blister packs) by a pharmacy. Doing so will minimize potential medication errors, and follow the best-practice standards set by the American Nurse Association (ANA). However, we understand that not all insurances and pharmacies are able to assist with this process. In this case, please send your child’s medication in the original pharmacy container with the pharmacy label intact, and no written edits on the instructions. Please refer to the Medical Form included in the Barnabas Bound Packet for further instructions on medication packaging. Thank you for your support in making your child’s stay at Camp Barnabas as safe as possible.
As a reminder, liquid medications must also be in the original pharmacy container. Please refer to the Barnabas Medical Form in your Barnabas Bound Packet for our policy on topical creams, eye drops, ear drops, or anything that is not a pill.
Pre-Packaging Definitions:
- Multi-Dose Strip Packaging – Each strip consists of individually sealed compartments containing all medications in pill form that are to be taken at a medicine pass delivery time (listed above).
- Multi-Dose Blister Packs – Each blister pocket contains all the medication, in pill form, that is to be taken at a medicine delivery time (listed above). These can often be ordered online.
Thank you for your support in making your time at Camp Barnabas as safe as possible. If you have questions, please contact our Director of Health Services, Linda Zimmer, at [email protected].
