As the school year ends, it’s time to prepare for the best time of the year.. SUMMER CAMP! Campfires, crafts, and lakeside adventures await, but let’s not forget about an unwelcome guest who may also be waiting to have some fun-head lice. If you’ve ever sent your child off to camp, you are likely familiar with the pesky issue of head lice. Just as common as the cold, head lice can find their way into the mix of your favorite memories. But fear not! With a bit of prep and awareness, Simplicety At Home can ensure your child enjoys a life-free summer getaway.
CHECK BEFORE YOU GO
Before you pack up the summer camp gear, conduct a head check on your child using our Nit Free comb. Learn how to do a proper head check from Pete the Lice Guy by watching this video. With this proactive approach you can help prevent any surprises and ensure your child starts their camp adventure lice-free.
STAY INFORMED ABOUT CAMP POLICIES
Before waving goodbye to your kiddos, familiarize yourself with the head lice protocol for your camp. Do they conduct head checks at check in? Do they do just a visual check or a check with a good metal lice comb? Who performs these head checks and have they been properly trained? If lice is found then what would the protocol be?
EDUCATE YOUR CHILD ABOUT PREVENTING HEAD LICE
In addition to the importance of sunscreen and staying safe, add to your conversation about head lice. Teach your child how to identify head lice and remind them of preventative measures like avoiding close head-to-head contact. Remember, if lice make an appearance, there is no need for embarrassment, and we are here to help you with a one stop shop click to Amazon!
