Our Medical Program

In 2010, Camp Simcha’s new Silber and Scheiner Families Medical Center was inaugurated on the Camp Simcha campus. This new, state-of-the-art facility includes:

  • A child-friendly waiting area decorated with custom, farm-themed murals, flooring and ceiling.
  • Four private exam rooms, including a fully equipped emergency medical center.
  • On-site pharmacy.
  • Eight quarantine rooms with beds for camper and counselor and full entertainment console.
  • Ground floor physical therapy center.
  • Six bathing pavilions for disabled campers with choice of shower or bathtub.
  • An acute transport ambulance is on-site and fully staffed at all times. The ambulance accompanies campers on all off-site trips.
  • A Medevac helicopter, on call 24/7, can reach camp within five minutes.
  • A full medical staff is always on site.
  • Specialized physicians (pediatric oncologists during Camp Simcha; pediatric physicians with specialties in emergency medicine and treating chronic illnesses during Camp Simcha Special).
  • Nurses
  • Emergency Medical Technicicans
  • Respiratory therapist
  • Physical therapist
  • Pharmacist
  • Medication is dispensed by the medical staff. Medication that must be taken at meals is given to children in the dining room, eliminating the need for a trip to the Medical Center.
  • Nurses assigned to each division visit children during the camp day. They assess children’s health on playing fields and in bunks so that small challenges do not become larger ones.
