How does the Camp Store and Café work?
Campers are able to purchase items with funds parents have added to their camp store account online.

Lice Checks (Overnight Camps Only)
Included in our wellness checks upon arrival at camp is a check for head lice. Below is the procedure we follow, you may find this helpful to do prior to drop-off.
How do you check for head lice?
a. Make sure that there is adequate lighting when checking for head lice. A well-lit room or flashlight will help spot any eggs or lice.
b. Begin at the bottom part of the neck and behind the ears and work your way up. Nits and lice can be found anywhere on the head but they prefer warmer places to hide.
c. You may see some lice crawling and/or eggs/nits attached to the hair
d. Divide the hair into halves and inspect each section for eggs and lice. Repeat the process throughout the entire head.
e. To make sure there are nits and not dandruff, try to pull them out by shaking head or scraping the hair with your fingernails. If they are still there, these are nits.
Camp Harlow has decided to exceed the Center of Disease Control (CDC) standards to ensure that lice is not spread from person to person and the camp environment is safe for all campers. Our policy is that if there are live nits, adult lice or if any nits are seen, the camper is sent home. Camp Harlow has a NO-NIT policy. For further information, please see the CDC website.
