Although there are the medical teams that are making sure that kids are well, parents should know the common metabolic imbalances in wilderness camps, which somehow affect the normal functioning and other injuries. Here are some of them:

- Dehydration, which can slow down the individuals, particularly on warm weather.
- Sodium deficiency
- Malnutrition happens if campers are deprive of food for many days.
- Hypothermia, in case of deadly drop in core body temperature.
- Heat exhaustion that may lead to heatstroke. A very common thing on hot days.
