Sunscreen? Check! Warm Socks? Check! Lice Prevention? Check!
Okay, so it won’t show up on most lists of “what to pack for camp.” But if you really knew how common it is to contract head lice at summer camp, it would definitely be on yours!
Anytime you get a large group of children sharing close quarters, there is a risk for head lice. Damp towels, shared pillows, and close physical activity can all lead to a miserable, itchy experience for your littler camper.
Prevent head lice this summer with these simple tips:
- Tell your child not to share towels, hats or pillows
- Avoid “head to head” contact with other campers
- Use a head lice prevention shampoo and hair treatment daily
These simple tips will keep your child’s hair and scalp healthy and critter-free all summer long.
