CAMPER MEDICATIONS
​
ALL medications (including vitamins) must be given to the nurse on opening day at check-in.
-
Prescription drugs must be in the original container with current dosage clearly stated on the container.
-
If your camper requires any non-prescription drugs such as Zyrtec etc., these medications should also be in the original container in order to provide the camp nurse with all the appropriate medication information. The Health Center is stocked with basic Tylenol and Ibuprofen etc. so it is not necessary to bring these to camp.
Keeping ALL medications out of the cabin helps ensure the safety of all campers. All unused medications will be placed in your camper’s luggage on closing day.
