How do you handle over-the-counter medications at camp?
There is a section in the Medical History form in Campwise where the parent indicates which over-the-counter medications are okay and gives permission for the camp to administer them when necessary. If permission is given, the nurse will pass the medication as needed. The nurse will administer over the counter medicine according to the labeled instructions unless accompanied by a physician’s order. If any over the counter medication is to be administered on a regular/scheduled basis, a physician’s signature is required, and you will be responsible for packing those medications for their daily administration.
