What we’re up to and where we’re going.

A Real Protection Plan Story

As the summer wraps up, the CampDoc.com team is working as hard as ever to make sure that campers and staff are as healthy and as safe as possible while they are away at camp.

Since the summer of 2015, CampDoc.com has offered a protection plan, and while we receive tons of great feedback on this service, earlier this month we received an email from Kathy, a parent who sends her daughter off to camp each summer in Boston.

Strategies for Overcoming Homesickness at Camp

The camp experience offers a nurturing environment away from distractions, and is a place to satisfy a child’s need for physical activity and creative expression. As a camp counselor myself, I’ve seen how just one week of camp can allow a child to grow as an individual. However, for many children, especially first-time campers, homesickness can creep in, and make having fun, sleeping, eating, and participating in camp activities problematic.

As a fast growing company, I had a lot of questions about DocNetwork. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with director, Dr. Michael Ambrose, and inquire about his inspirations, passions, and difficulties while starting this amazing business.


Where did it all begin? When did you start working on building this company and what were some of the initial actions you took?

DocNetwork and the Community

School’s out and it’s finally summer camp season. Although your kids might be relaxing at home, DocNetwork sure isn’t. As an online electronic health records system for schools and camps we’ve been keeping busy, helping making last minute changes for camps, assisting parents with registrations, and stepping out into our community. Last week DocNetwork headed to Intermitten to explore the values that art and technology can add to our everyday lives and community. In addition to networking, our very own director, Dr. Michael Ambrose, got a chance to speak. As a physician and summer camp alumni, Dr. Michael […]
