We sent our oldest off to camp last weekend, and the whole time she was gone (to the mountains of north Georgia) I was worried we’d be getting a call that she was injured, or worse. It all started when the camp sent us a waiver to sign, in the event of an emergency. Not only would she be going hiking and tubing, but also to a water park and white water rafting. We had to sign the waiver agreeing not to sue if was was injured. It was only AFTER she left that I realized we hadn’t sent her off with a copy of our health insurance card - we had only written the company name, policy number, and a contact phone number on her application form. So yes, I was a nervous wreck last week, waiting for her to check in each night, or every other night, and then I could breathe easier, knowing another day had passed without the need to file an insurance claim and watch our health insurance rates rise. I can just picture the insurance company now…cackling over our accident prone children being sent to camp and falling off horses and such, and needing to get new health insurance quotes because of the klutz gene running rampant through the family.

She arrived home safe and sound, with only a scratch on her foot last night.
