Federal Way Urgent Care: Having a Safe and Fun Camping Trip


The Dash Point State Park offers an opportunity for an unforgettable camping experience. Covering 398 acres of land, the park features 3,301 feet of saltwater shoreline. You can marvel at the sight of the Puget Sound, as well as learn more about sea life as you relax and reconnect with nature. Though camping has several benefits, it also exposes you to injury risks that could put you in a Federal Way urgent care clinic. Given this, you need to be prepared by bringing first-aid kits and learning how to treat minor injuries.

Here are some injuries and their treatments you should be aware of:

Sprains and Fractures

These injuries are common during camping due to rocky trails and hills. The RICE treatment (rest, ice, compress, and elevate) is an effective way to alleviate the pain. The first step is to “rest.” and stop whatever you were doing that caused the injury. Avoid moving the affected area.
