Mission Possible Medication Policy and Procedure Please read carefully Please bring your camper s medications in the original prescription labeled container. It is suggested that you only send the amount of medication needed for camp (three days, two evenings). State requirements will not allow us to keep your camper and administer the medications unless you bring the original medication containers with the correct prescription label to camp. Follow the same procedure for over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements. Bring liquid medication(s) in the original container(s). If a prescription label is incorrect on a container, we will need a signed note from the doctor with the correct information. Upon arrival at camp, you will give all medications, both prescription and non-prescription, to the nurse on duty. Please provide a list, either typewritten or hand printed, of the medication and dosage, and time to be dispensed. This will be reviewed by the nurse at check-in. Example of Medication Instructions: Camper s Name: Time of Dose: Time of Dose: Ima Happy Camper 0800 Breakfast Depakote 125 mg, 2 capsules Multivitamin, 1 chewable 2100 Bedtime Depakote 125 mg, 2 capsules Frequently asked questions: 1. What if my camper has medications that are not pills, such as liquids, powders, inhalers, and creams? Bring the medication in the original labeled container. Please make sure there is enough to make it the duration of camp. 2. What if my camper s meds come in a blister pack from the pharmacy? Blister packs are a sheet of cardboard with a plastic bubble for each dose of medication and you just push the medication to get it out. Just bring the blister packs, making sure the label on the blister pack is correct. This is considered the original container. 3. What if the medication container does not have the correct dose amount or times? We realize that sometimes the amount or times change. If this happens, there are two ways to fix it. You can get the doctor to call in a new prescription and have new labels printed at the pharmacy, or get the doctor to write a note with the correct information and sign it. It must have the doctor s signature and the date on the note. We are not allowed to give medications differently than what the doctor has ordered. 4. What if my camper has meds they only take occasionally, as needed? Bring those in their original, labeled containers. This includes any over-the-counter medications. 5. What if I forget or don t have my camper s original medication bottles? Unfortunately, we will not be able to legally dispense the medication, thus YOUR CAMPER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STAY AT CAMP. IT IS YOUR RESPONBILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE MEDICATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL DARLENE LOCKE AT 979.845.6535
