This year, about 10 million children will head to summer camp. Besides packing the right clothing and gear, some parents will also be packing prescription medications for their children. Learn about the camp medical staff, its on-site medical facilities, and where the closest hospital is. Make the camp administration aware of any conditions your child has and any medications your child takes. Know who is in charge of your child’s medications, and who is legally allowed to administer them, whether it is nurse, doctor, counselor, or camp coordinator. If warranted, purchase a medic alert bracelet or identification for your child. Submit all necessary paperwork regarding your child’s health care, including physical forms, consent forms, standing administration orders and a list of all of Tips for medication safety your child’s medications, as well as contact numbers for you, your child’s pediatrician, and your pharmacist. Retain original containers. All medications that are sent to camp for your child should be in the original containers with original labels. Make a list of all prescription and overthe-counter medications your child takes. Keep a copy for yourself, give one to your child, and make sure the medical staff and counselors at the camp have copies. Take the time to explain to your child what medications he or she is taking and why those medications are important. Make sure the child knows whom to see immediately if he or she begins to experience any reactions. Make sure your child knows that it is never okay to share medications with another camper.
