In the event of minor medical injuries or
illnesses, Brookhaven staff will treat and carefully

chaperone should contact a Brookhaven staff member.
The student’s emergency contact person will be
notified and will approve a course of action.
How
are students transported?
The
school will provide transportation for their groups
traveling to and from Brookhaven at all times during

At no time during their stay will students be
allowed in motorized vehicles unless explicitly
permitted and monitored by a school chaperone.
Are
adults required to stay with the kids?
Adult
chaperones will be required to sleep in the dormitory
with the students in a 10:1 ratio of students to
