Insurance For Camps, Clinics, and Conferences
In the past, insurance coverage for conferences, sports camps and clinics was either too costly, too limited or not available at all. Schools, coaches and directors were either forced to pay extremely high insurance premiums, or to run camps and clinics without the proper insurance protection, therefore running the risk of personal exposure to lawsuits or a participant’s injury claim.
However, this specialty insurance program has recently been developed to cover the inherent risks involved for the schools, park districts, coaches, directors and participants of today’s conferences, sports camps and clinics. Accident and liability insurance for camps is offered as a standard product with optional coverage also available such as equipment, hired and non-owned automobile, and additional higher liability insurance limits.
THE ACCIDENT COVERAGE
$10,000 BENEFIT
(Pays the medical bills of an injured student or staff member)
MEDICAL EXPENSE BENEFIT
If the Covered Person incurs eligible expenses as the direct result of a covered injury and independent of all other causes, the Company will pay the charges incurred for such expense within 365 days, beginning on the date of the accident. Payment will be made for eligible expenses in excess of the applicable $100 Deductible Amount, not to exceed the Maximum Medical Benefit.
The first such expense must be incurred within 90 days after the date of the accident.
“Eligible expense” means charges for the following necessary treatment and service, not to exceed the usual and customary charges in the area where provided.
- Medical and surgical care by a physician

- Prescription drugs and medicines
- Dental treatment of sound natural teeth
- Hospital care and service in semiprivate accommodations, or as an outpatient
- Ambulance service from the scene of the accident to the nearest hospital

Excess coverage: This plan does not cover treatment or service for which benefits are payable or service is available under any other insurance for camps or medical service plan available to the Covered Person.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT BENEFIT
Benefit amount is $2,500. If a covered injury results in any of the losses specified below within 365 days after the date of the accident, the Company will pay the applicable amount:
