Camp Physicals

Ensuring your child is healthy and ready for a camp is crucial. At NextCare Urgent Care, we provide comprehensive camp physicals to meet all requirements and give you peace of mind. With walk-in appointments available, getting a physical for your child is convenient and efficient.

Understanding Camp Physicals

Camp physicals are an examination required by camps to ensure children are in good health and can safely participate in activities. These physicals help identify any medical issues that need attention before starting a camp.

What to Expect During a Physical

During a camp physical at NextCare, you can expect the following:

• Medical History Review: Discuss past medical history, including any previous illnesses, surgeries, allergies, medications, and family medical history.
• Vital Signs Check: Measure blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature to ensure they are within normal ranges.
• Physical Examination: A thorough examination, including checking the heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose, throat, and overall physical condition.
• Growth and Development Assessment: Evaluating height, weight, and developmental milestones to ensure appropriate growth.
• Vision and Hearing Tests: Conducting tests to ensure proper vision and hearing, which are essential for learning and activities.
• Vaccination Review: Ensuring all vaccinations are up-to-date as required by camps.

Camp physicals are essential for several reasons:

• Health Assessment: Ensuring your child is in good health and can safely participate in camp activities.
