Safety
Camp North Star’s Health Center is in the center of camp and has a warm and inviting feel for all of our campers. Our medical staff is on site and available 24 hours a day. Our registered nurses manage all the campers’ medical needs of our campers. The health center includes an examination room, male and female dorm rooms, and living quarters for all of our medical staff. The health center is air conditioned for the comfort of our campers.
Parents are notified by a member of the medical staff if their child has been in the health center overnight, their child has been placed on prescription medicine, or their child has been taken to an out-of-camp doctor, emergency room or hospital. You can rest assured that our nurses will keep you informed regarding the health of your child.
Camp North Star’s medical staff is supported by the camp’s pediatrician who is on-call and available throughout the entire camp season. Our doctor’s full medical office is less than 2 miles from camp. Central Maine Medical Hospital is just a short 12 mile drive in neighboring Lewiston.
