The responsibility for administering medications rests with the camper’s legal parent or guardian. No camp staff is permitted to administer medication. It is important that all medication be taken at home. No medication is to be sent to camp unless it is a prescription drug for preventative reasons or emergency conditions such as seizures, heart conditions, asthma, bee stings or allergy conditions.
