Little Prairie Bible Camp

Head Lice Policy

Little Prairie Bible Camp is committed to providing every camper the best and safest possible camp experience. Each camper, counselor, and staff member will be examined for head lice upon arrival to camp. If nits (eggs) or lice are present, those infested will be sent home (No exceptions, we’re sorry) and they are not allowed to return for that week. They may return to a later session if they are totally free of nits or lice. We want each camper’s time at camp to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience, so please take the following precautionary measures to see that your camper is ready for the best camp experience:
  1. Parents should do a head lice check on their campers two weeks before camp. Administer treatment if detected.
  2. Parents should do a head lice check on their campers on the day of departure to make sure no one is infested. We have provided the following information to help you in your head lice check.

What are head lice?
Head lice are small grayish-white insects, which are found in the hair, behind the ears, and on the nape of the neck. They live on human blood and their bites cause itching and scratching. These bites can lead to infection.

How can they be recognized?
The adult louse is about the size of a sesame seed. They attach their eggs (called nits) to strands of hair close to the scalp. Nits are tiny, pearl gray, oval-shaped specks that are attached firmly to the hair. These may hatch in 1 week, but have been known to survive for 10 days. Frequent scratching of the head is usually the first clue of infestation.

How long does it take from exposure to infestation?
One to two weeks.

When are they contagious?
As long as there are live lice and eggs.
