Medical staff: In order to provide our campers with adequate medical staff, we have a wide array of staff who are trained in medication administration at camp. All will be overseen by a nurse. All medical staff have a minimum of certification in medication administrations and Basic Life Support to aid our campers. 

Medication: All medications must be received in the original container with current prescription label including name, dosage, frequency of administration, physician’s name, and expiration date of medication (the expiration date on the pharmacy label. Over-the-counter medications must be in the original, unopened container. The instructions on the container will be followed, as intended by the prescriber. If a different dose or frequency is required, please have your doctor complete a signed note prior to camp of the intended medication administration (dose, frequency). We will need the original copy of the letter. Medications will be administered at each mealtime (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and at bedtime. If your child has medications that require specific timing, food with administration, or refrigeration, this information must be explicitly provided to the nurses during check in and in the medication portion of registration. Please provide any extra supplies at check in (ie: snacks for bedtime administration). We are unable to accommodate making separate meals for differentiating medication administration times.
