Luce County students have access to vital school-based health services through The C.A.M.P. (Counseling and Medical Place) program, ensuring comprehensive care right where they learn.
Located in Newberry, The C.A.M.P. provides both medical and mental health services, offering students a convenient and supportive environment for their healthcare needs. From routine check-ups and vaccinations to mental health counseling, our team is committed to promoting the well-being of students ages 5-21.
To receive services, a consent form must be completed by a parent or guardian, and any student seeking mental health support must also submit a referral form. These forms can be easily accessed online via QR code, making it simple for families to complete the necessary steps. No appointments will be scheduled before a provider contacts the student or their guardian. Below, you’ll find more details about The C.A.M.P., including contact information, available services, and required forms.
