Mosquitoes at Camp: Prevention, Protection, and Peace of Mind

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they’re a public health concern that every camp should take seriously. In this session, Michael Hoban from New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Mosquito Control Coordination will discuss practical strategies to reduce mosquito presence and protect campers and staff. Drawing on his experience in statewide mosquito surveillance and control, he will cover prevention techniques, how to identify common breeding sites, and the science behind effective control methods. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to work with local mosquito control programs to create a safer, more enjoyable camp experience. All in all, offering prevention, protection, and peace of mind.
