What if my camper takes regular medication?

If your child needs to take regular medication at camp, simply fill out our Permission to Administer Medication form on CampDoc detailing the exact guidelines and requirements for any medication your child takes. You will get an invitation to your camper's CampDoc profile within 10 days of your camper's initial registration (the first invitations for CampDoc will be sent in early March). This is a separate system from your camper's registration through Active.com

All medications should come to camp in their original packaging—we cannot accept medication separated in plastic bags or pill holders. We need a doctor’s signature giving us permission to administer ANY medications (including OTCs and supplements) your child brings from home.

If you don’t want to provide a doctor’s note for the medications listed below, please sign our Over The Counter Medications waiver, allowing us to give your child what we have at the clinic, rather than bringing it from home.  This information will all be found on CampDoc. You can also find all forms available for download HERE.
