Camp Name: Fleet

Parents who send their children to camp are allowing the “village” to be involved with the raising of their child. We take that responsibility very seriously at Camp Kawartha.

As the Camp Kawartha Health Care Coordinator and parent of 4 adult children, I know the importance of having staff prepared for the unexpected. I have been involved at CK for 19 years and have seen our procedures and policies evolve to ensure all of our staff are prepared to care for your children.

I was the camp nurse for a few years and then developed the role of Health Care Coordinator. I spent 10 years on the Camp Kawartha Board of Directors, both as a member and then the President. To say my heart is at Camp Kawartha, is an understatement.

I ensure all staff are trained in CPR and First Aid. Our tripping staff have Wilderness First Aid. We have an AED on site. Staff are trained on anaphylaxis, tick removal and recognizing issues that need further investigation.

We offer a quality Health Care Program at Camp Kawartha and I am thrilled to be working with fantastic Registered Nurses and a Registered Practical Nurse most returning for the 5th, 6th and even 13th year. We also have a nurses assistant (presently at university doing her RN training) that stays throughout the summer. Our camp physician is off site and will see our campers if the nurse deems it necessary. Both the Lakefield Clinic and the Peterborough Regional Health Centre are utilized if our physician is not available.

My work outside of camp is working as a staff RN in the Emergency Department at Peterborough Regional Health Centre and also with Health Canada in First Nations communities in Northern Ontario. I also run my own company, LOL First Aid and CPR. I teach CPR, First Aid and Pediatric Advanced Life Saving skills. I am confident that everyone that sets foot on Camp Kawartha property is in good hands.

Thank for choosing Camp Kawartha. You can be assured that your children are in good hands.
