Health , safety and Medical Information

The safety and care of our Campers is our utmost priority. Our 80-acre Campus is set in the countryside, a world away from the traffic and noise of the city. We are fully enclosed with 24/7 security, and our Crew are Rugby School Thailand teachers and support staff.

During each camp, we have at least 3 fully trained school nurses providing care for our Campers and Crew throughout the day and night. They administer camper medication and attend to any illness or injury in our 2 school health centres. For anything more serious, we have an excellent relationship with Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, which is only 30 minutes away.

At Registration, we ask you to see our Nursing team to complete our Medical Consent From and hand over any regular medication your child may need. The nurses will administer this for them at the correct time. Please prepare all your child’s medications in a clear zip-lock bag with instructions for our nurses before you arrive. We do not allow any medication or supplements in the boarding houses in campers’ bags. Please ensure you hand this in to the nurses.
