MEDICATIONS AND
HEALTH FORM

In order to provide the best possible care for our campers, the information on the health form must be filled out completely and accurately. BRING THE HEALTH FORM WITH YOU TO CAMP.
Do not mail it ahead of time. Medications must be current and designated for the camper. Severe asthmatics and those who need an epipens may wish to bring a second implement, which may be kept by the camper’s immediate counselor. A nurse is on-site through the entire week your child is at camp
. 

State law requires:

  • that all prescription and over-the-counter medications be in original containers.
  • all medications be handed over at registration and kept in the infirmary.
  • Any prescription AND non-prescription drug that will be taken by camper more than once during the camp session must have a
    physician’s signed order accompany it
    .

Why are cell phones, ipods, mp3s, ect. not allowed at camp?


Camp is a unique environment where children can get away from the everyday distractions, including TV, video games and phones. Children gain skills of communication, problem solving, social interaction and emerging independence at camp in both small and large group settings.  These are some of the greatest benefits of a
week at camp! Having outside contact by cell phone essentially means they may not have made this transition and it may prevent the camp staff from getting to problems/issues in a timely manner. You can help by talking to your child prior to camp. Let them know there is always someone they can reach out to, whether it is a counselor, staff member, director or even the camp nurse; we are all here to help them have a great experience!
