HEALTH & SAFETY
In case of special medical instructions or questions (medications, allergies, physical limitations, etc.), please email the SBC Administrators at summerbandcamps@jmu.edu so that we can schedule a time to discuss any instructions or address any questions, and prepare to best accommodate your participant. Please note that the JMU Dining Services staff are very knowledgeable when it comes to special dietary issues and food allergies, and can make arrangements to accommodate individual needs and requests. Please feel free to contact JMU Dining Services for any specific questions relating to dietary concerns: (540) 568-6751.
MEDICATIONS & MEDICAL DEVICES
All prescription medication and use of personal medical devices will be self-administered by the camper.
MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
JMU Summer Band Camps will have a qualified medical staff member on campus 24/7 to assist with minor medical issues. However, all medical emergencies will be transported to Rockingham Memorial Hospital, located at 2010 Health Campus Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22801.
HEAT & HYDRATION
Because our event occurs in the middle of summer, the temperatures and weather conditions can vary greatly day-to-day and morning to night. Therefore, we encourage all outdoor camp participants to bring adequate clothing to protect from the elements (raingear, hats, light athletic clothing, jacket), as well as water bottles and any other weather-related items necessary to best prepare for the summer conditions. All camp participants will receive a water bottle to be used during camp. However, please feel free to bring additional bottles if so desired. We will provide ample coolers with ice water as well as water breaks to allow participants to rehydrate.
