General Health

During your week at Outdoor Science School your student’s health is our number one concern. Try to do lice checks a week before you leave so that your students can be treated over the weekend and not miss out on Outdoor Science School. Also any student who has been sick with the flu or vomiting with in 24 hours of leaving for Outdoor Science School needs to stay home and get better. Making your students understand basic health precautions: washing hands, covering your cough by using the Dracula method (using your elbow), having a water bottle and the importance of keeping hydrated, and having chap- stick and using it to protect it from wind and sun burn will help their experience at Outdoor School be more enjoyable.
