Will my daughter be sent home from camp for having a wart on her finger?

Summer camp is tomorrow and we just had the doc freeze it off Thursday.
It has not blistered like was supposed to happen to fall off.
Summer camp does hair, foot, and hand inspections.
Can’t contact them to ask.
Is a wart a health reason to be refused admission to summer camp?
Warts are caused by a virus and are contagious.

The only viral warts I’m aware of are STD’s.
Warts can be fungal, but since your doctor treated it with cryosurgery and not antifungals then probably not in this case.
If you’re worried a note from your physician should alleviate any misplaced concerns the camp may have.
No, definitely not.
I had them as a child and they are in NO WAY contagious. Mine disappeared of their own accord.
The least said the better, then your daughter won’t feel it is something to be ashamed about. They are VERY common.
Hope this puts your minds at rest. Happy Camping!
