MEDICATION AT CAMP
PRESCRIPTION & DAILY MEDICATIONS :
ALL camper’s medication, including prescriptions, non-prescriptions, vitamins and supplements, must come to camp pre-packed through CampMeds.
• There will be NO exceptions, unless CampMeds is unable to fill your camper’s medication.
• We will NOT accept any medication, including vitamins and supplements, off the bus or upon arrival
at camp except medication that CANNOT be supplied by CampMeds.
• If there is a medication that CANNOT be supplied by CampMeds (i.e., EpiPens, inhalers, growth hormones, or any other intramuscular injections or other approved by camp director), please follow the instructions below.
• We do expect 100% participation from families with campers who will need prescription, non- prescription medicine taken daily or as needed, as well as vitamins while at camp.
• Any camper with daily prescriptions, non-prescriptions, vitamins and supplements who does not use CampMeds will result in a $250.00 fee, no exceptions.
• Daily medications will be distributed at mealtimes as well as at bedtime, after the evening program.
• Camp stocks medications such as Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Tums, etc. There is no need to have
these medications sent to camp.
• All medications (prescription and non-prescription) must be kept in the Health Center according to state law. Emergency medication such as EpiPens and Rescue Inhalers may be carried if your doctor feels it is necessary and if the appropriate documentation is received.
• We ask that you do not send over the counter, as needed medications for your child, unless you anticipate that they may need to take them often or possibly daily. If you decide he will need it while at camp, please follow the instructions above for CampMeds.
• For medication that CANNOT be supplied by CampMeds (growth hormones, EpiPens, inhalers or other CampMeds exceptions), please send medication in the original packaging with the original prescription label to camp a week prior to your son’s arrival. Please include a signed note with instructions. Medications will not be accepted that are not in the original packaging with the original prescription label attached.
• If applicable, please send TWO EpiPens or inhalers for your child for the summer (send one to camp and send one with your son on the bus). One will stay in the Health Center and one will be packed when your child leaves camp on a trip.
• IMPORTANT: Any refrigerated medications must be clearly marked on the inside and outside packaging “Refrigerate Upon Arrival.” Please call the camp office to advise when refrigerated medications are shipped and expected delivery date. It is important for any medications that need to be refrigerated are sent no earlier than the week before camp starts.
• If you have any questions, please contact CampMeds at info@campmeds.com or (954) 577-0025.
