What does the Lice Lifters Caring for Camps program include?

The program provides camp staff with lice screening training, identification guides, parent notification templates, and a prevention protocol. We also offer on-site screening services at select locations before camp sessions begin.

How can camps prevent lice outbreaks?

Key prevention steps include pre-camp head screenings, teaching campers to avoid sharing hats and brushes, storing personal items separately, and having a clear action plan if lice are found. Our program covers all of these with ready-to-use materials.

Is the camp lice prevention program free?

Yes. The Lice Lifters Caring for Camps educational program is offered at no cost to camps, schools, and community organizations. It is part of our mission to reduce the stigma and disruption caused by head lice.

What should a camp do if a camper has lice?

Notify the parents calmly using our provided templates, isolate the camper belongings, check bunkmates who had close contact, and recommend professional treatment. Our local clinics offer priority appointments for camp referrals.

When should camps schedule lice screenings?

We recommend screenings at check-in on the first day of each camp session. For overnight camps, a mid-session check at the one-week mark catches any cases before they spread. Contact your nearest Lice Lifters clinic to arrange screenings.

Caring For Camps

Summer Camp Lice Screening and Prevention Program

Lice Lifters Caring for Camps supports directors with a clear plan that keeps cabins running smoothly. During check in, our certified team can offer optional head checks in a private setting and train counselors to spot signs. We supply parent notices, consent forms, and prevention guides that explain what to clean and what to skip. Campers learn not to share brushes, hats, or headsets and to keep hair secured. When treatment is needed, clinics provide all natural, non toxic care with no heated air, 99.9 percent effective and backed by a 30 day guarantee. We coordinate return guidance so campers get back to activities with minimal disruption.

The American Camp Association reports that lice outbreaks are one of the top health concerns for summer camp administrators. A single undetected case can spread to dozens of campers within days through shared hats, brushes, pillows, and close contact during activities. Our program gives your staff the knowledge and tools to identify lice early, act quickly, and prevent panic among parents.

Camp Screening and Prevention Essentials

Essentials include a simple screening plan, clear roles, and communications that reduce stress. Schedule screenings during check in or the first full day, with a quiet area to protect privacy. Use consent forms, a check list for each cabin, and a referral sheet for families. Train counselors to spot nits near the nape and behind the ears. Create daily routines that keep hair tied back, store hats and helmets apart, and stop sharing brushes. Provide metal combs, hair ties, and labeled zip bags for gear. Clean items that touch hair and skip deep cleaning that adds little. Partner clinics stand by for same day treatment and safe return guidance.

Our screening protocol trains staff to perform quick, non-invasive head checks that take less than two minutes per camper. We provide laminated identification cards showing what lice and nits look like at each stage, parent notification letter templates with clear next steps, and a recommended supply list for camp health stations.

Summer Camp Program

The Lice Lifters Summer Camp Program combines education, screening, and swift access to treatment so campers stay on schedule. Before the season, we align with directors on goals and dates, then set timelines for staff training and screenings. We supply consent templates, parent emails, and nurse resources. At check in, certified technicians can run optional head checks in a quiet space that protects privacy. Counselors are trained to spot nits, respond discreetly, and notify the nurse. Prevention covers hair up, separate storage for hats and helmets, and no sharing of brushes. If cases appear, we document findings and connect families to the nearest clinic for same day appointments. Our treatment is all natural and non toxic with no heated air, 99.9 percent effective and backed by a 30 day guarantee. Clinics treat families in one visit, provide return notes, and share an aftercare plan that fits the camp schedule. Follow ups and targeted re checks are available. We provide a summary with counts and recommendations for planning. Programs fit day and overnight camps with adjustments for ages, trips, and schedules. A single point of contact coordinates logistics and supports leaders.

The program is available to day camps, overnight camps, sports camps, and school-sponsored summer programs at no charge. We can also arrange priority appointments at your nearest Lice Lifters clinic for families who need professional treatment after a camp discovery.
