At Camp Mikell, we take your child’s safety very seriously. We believe that safety not only encompasses your child’s physical safety but also their emotional and spiritual safety as well. We can’t promise that your child will not get hurt or sick, but we take great caution in protecting your child.

The summer staff are all trained in Healthcare Provider Level (the same as medics, nurses and doctors) CPR, or Basic Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation. This training includes more advanced airway maintenance training as well as training on an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED. Mikell has a state of the art AED on our premises. In addition, the summer staff are trained in Red Cross First Aid.

Our staff member who takes the older campers on the Creek Hike is additionally trained in Wilderness First Aid.

The summer staff are trained for possible disaster scenarios, such as a fire or tornado. These procedures are also reviewed by our counselors.

We will have either an RN or Nurse Practitioner on site while your child is here. In addition, the Director is a GA licensed paramedic and certified firefighter. Rest assured, your child/camper will be in good hands if an emergency arises.

Mikell provides hand sanitizer on each table in the dining hall. In addition, your child is encouraged to maintain personal hygiene during the week.

Your child will be supervised 24/7 while at Mikell. Most of the time, there will be a college-age staff person and high school-age counselor with your camper. At times, such as during our morning staff meetings, the campers will be with a counselor. Know that there is a direct phone line from both hills to our meeting area if a problem were to arise.
