Daily medications will be distributed at mealtimes. Medication should be timed at mealtimes with the exception of growth hormone injections, sleeping meds, and Enuresis meds. Meds ordered twice a day will be given at breakfast and dinner in the dining hall. If allergy/asthma medications are sent to camp and marked for bedtime administration, they may be administered at dinner under the discretion of the nurse and camp director per our camp policy. Medications that are necessary to be administered at bedtime will be administered in the health center after the evening program.
“As Needed” medication is medicine that your child only needs to take occasionally (1-2 times per week). 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.
CAMPER’S MEDICATION IN NON-PILL FORM
If your child takes medications not in pill form (liquids, epi-pens, inhalers) you may use the Pack My RX program, but are not required. If you choose not to use Pack My RX, you should mail the medication. Please place the medication in a Ziploc bag and mail to the camp to arrive one week prior to your child’s session.
OVER THE COUNTER MEDS
The Health Center stocks basic over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol in many forms; Motrin, Ibuprofen, Actifed, Benadryl, Claritin, Tums, Kaopectate, Immodium, Robitussin, and many more. Please do NOT order these from Pack My RX. Please DO NOT SEND TYLENOL AND IBUPROFEN TO CAMP unless your child takes them daily as these are stocked in the Health Center.
DENTAL INFORMATION
It is a good idea to have your child’s teeth checked by the dentist prior to camp. If your child must see the dentist or orthodontist while at camp, we will arrange for this service. During the summer, our orthodontist will make your child comfortable if a wire snaps or a similar problem arises. He/she will not do any substantial work. We will also call you to inform you of the visit.
Baggage
We recommend packing in two large duffel bags. Please make sure that all bags are clearly marked with you child’s first and last name and their group name. All campers traveling to/
from camp via airplane or bus (other than campers
from abroad) are required to ship their duffels to and from camp through Camp Trucking. This form can be found online through CampInTouch. Baggage will be brought to your camper’s bunk prior to them arriving.
