For all medical needs, please go to the First Aid Station, located in the J.C. Williams Center.  For help, find a Member of the Conference Staff. 

  • Medical personnel are available 24 hours a day during the conference.
  • Medication requiring refrigeration should be checked in with the medical staff.
  • Youth requiring first aid must be accompanied by an adult chaperone.
  • Everyone should know the name of their group leader when going to First Aid.  This will ensure a quick recovery of Liability Release Form for the medical team’s reference. 
  • During the session times, youth will not be allowed into the housing facilities.  If they are not feeling well, they must go to First Aid.
