MEDICATION NEEDED Medications and health problems, including any recent illness, should be reported to the Camp Directors prior to departure. ALL medications are kept in the camp infirmary and dispensed by the Health Care Coordinator, at meal times or as directed in the physician's instructions. DO NOT PACK MEDICATION. Turn all medicine in at the check-in table on the day of departure in a paper bag, which is clearly labeled with the camper's name, written instructions and written parental permission for the camper to take the medication.

Writing home is also an important part of the camp experience and keeps children connected with their family. You can help by sending self-addressed and stamped envelopes with campers, so that they will be able to write home throughout the week.
