• Swimming Pool

  The Dawson swimming pool is open to campers each day. Those taking advantage of this chance to cool off should bring swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen. Lifeguards are on duty. In order to help keep your child safe, you must notify us on your registration application if your child does not swim and needs a flotation device in the pool. The pool is 3 feet deep in the shallow end and 10 feet deep at the deep end.

   

• Camper Health

  During Dawson Summer Camps, staff pays close attention to campers’ health. The Director, Assistant Director, and camp counselors are CPR, First Aid, and AED certified through Colorado CPR & Safety Professionals. The staff works closely with a school nurse consultant to identify students with any health needs. The school nurse consultant appropriately trains camp staff and delegates healthcare responsibilities to them. 

   

  It is essential that all information related to health or health needs be addressed completely. Because the camp staff is administering medications under RN delegation, a physician signature and a parent signature are required for all medications, including any over-the-counter products. This is not only mandated under the delegatory clause of the Nurse Practice Act, it is also necessary for camp licensure. It also provides for the safe care of all the campers. Throughout the summer an RN is available for on-call consultation.

• Limited Enrollment for Camps

  All camps have limited spaces, which are filled first come, first served.
