Health & Safety

Medications

Medications will be collected by camp staff during the camper’s arrival to the ROYAL program. Only camp staff will handle any necessary medication distribution for the camper during the week. Camp staff will work with the camper to make sure any emergency medications are administered if needed. All medications and administration instructions will need to be placed in a resealable plastic bag that is clearly labeled with the camper’s full name. Any use of OTC medications will need to be consented by the guardian.

CPR & First Aid Trained Staff

All of our full-time ROYAL staff on Camp grounds are certified in CPR and First Aid. Our staff is trained to follow the NFHS “Suggested Guidelines for Management of Concussion in Sports” for all head injuries.

Personal Hygiene

Clean hands are our first line of defense against the spread of germs, so all staff and campers wash their hands before every meal and group time.

Intensive Health & Wellness Orientation During Staff Training

Our staff has been taught how to recognize signs and symptoms of communicable disease and other common illnesses. When appropriate, campers will be forwarded to a Health Center for follow up with a medical professional.

Safety

Safety is our top priority at ROYAL. While action sports always have an edge of risk involved, there are several ways we work to make our camp activities as safe as possible:

  1. Helmets are required for all riders while on wheels. Whether you’re shredding on the parks or simply going from point A to point B on your gear, helmets must be worn!

  2. Park etiquette and camp rules are reviewed on the first day of camp before any free riding is allowed, and is upheld throughout the week by our supervising staff.

  3. Staff are strategically placed at all areas during ride times to watch the area, making sure campers are following park etiquette and riding safely for themselves and others. Multiple adult staff allow us to keep more eyes on our campers when in public spaces riding with others.

  4. Each staff is trained to evaluate the camper for injuries, paying special attention to head, neck and back injuries. Any injury requiring more care than a band aid will be referred immediately to a medical facility nearby for further evaluation, with parents being contacted upon the decision. We ask for your camper’s insurance and medical history during registration for cases such as this.
