Emergencies
In the event that your child is hurt during our stay
at camp, and it is determined that your child
needs more medical attention than can be
provided by the camp nurse, your child will be
transported by appropriate means to Hillcrest
Hospital.
Phone number at camp in the event of an
emergency at home is (216) 831-5045. This
number is for emergencies only! Please, do
not call to “check” on your child.
Showers
Campers will have the opportunity to shower at least once
a day or more if needed! While showers have private
stalls, they may bring a bathing suit to shower in if they
would like.
Discipline
Safety is our number one concern!
Any student who poses a threat to his, or another
camper’s safety, or has disciplinary problems, may, at
the discretion of the facilitator, be required to leave
camp without a refund.
Parents would be responsible to provide transportation
home. Mentor Public Schools code of conduct is
enforced at all times.

Education Program (camp) for any reason other than
