Medical expenses incurred due to illness will not be covered. Instructors must carry primary insurance during camp. Expenses for treatment paid by BYU must be reimbursed to the university no later than August 31, ILLNESSES AND INJURIES For minor illnesses, instructors may choose to remain in their residence hall rooms or at home. For instructors ages 16 17, counselors must be notified in such cases. Parents of youth instructors incurring a serious illness will be contacted to discuss a course of action. If parents or guardians cannot be reached, the sick participant may be taken to the hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, the dance training facility is not available to camp participants. Students will have access to ice and a basic first-aid kit should any minor injuries occur. Major injuries will be handled by the office staff by contacting a parent or legal guardian to determine a course of action. With permission from a guardian, dancers may be transported to a local hospital, emergency room, or clinic but should not plan on using the dance training facility. Dancers are encouraged to begin strength, flexibility, and nutritional training prior to the camp to minimize the risk of injury during their stay.
