- If your child gets sick or has an injury at Space Camp, a staff member will bring them to Sick Bay where a registered nurse will evaluate them. The nurse can assess your child, provide basic first aid, and provide some common over-the-counter medications if indicated (and if you have granted permission on the Health Form).
- If the nurse determines that your child needs more advanced care, a nurse will contact the child’s parent/guardian/emergency contact. At the same time another nurse will coordinate transportation to an appropriate facility. After evaluation, if it is determined the trainee can return to camp without compromising the health or safety of themselves or other trainees, they can return to camp.
- If your child has an illness with associated fever, it’s possible they could be contagious and could sicken other trainees and staff. If your child has a fever or other condition with a known risk for contagion, you will be contacted to discuss their condition. You may be instructed to pick up your child early if they are sick with fever or other condition with known risk for contagion to protect the health of other trainees and staff.
