Health & Safety

Teachers will service each student's health record before departure to ODS. In the event of serious illness or injury the ODS staff will make every effort to contact parents for direction. In the case that parents cannot be reached, the child will be transported to Pendleton for medical attention at the hospital or by a local physician. Parents will be contacted as soon as possible in any serious medical situation.

If you would like your student to have access to over-the-counter or prescription medication you must complete the health form (see "required forms" tab) and provide the form and medication to the SMS counseling department before departure. ODS certified staff will dispense any medication your child may need during the stay at camp and all medications will be kept in the possession of the camp infirmary.

All possible protection will be provided for your child's stay at ODS.

Food Planning & Prep

Every effort is made to serve your child wholesome food. A menu of balanced meals will be served under the direction of a qualified cook. There will be no candy, gum, soft drinks or other snacks sold in the camp, and you are asked not to send any with your child. Nutritious snacks will be provided each afternoon.

For students with special dietary needs, our menu can be adjusted. Please notify your child's teacher for this service.
