  Medications

Guidelines for sending Medications to Camp.

In case you need to send Medications (that cannot be suspended) to Camp with your child, it is important to follow the guidelines listed below in order to ensure your camper's health and safety.

 

All camper medications (prescription or otherwise) are KEPT IN THE HEALTH CENTER. No camper may keep any medication (including alternative supplements) in the camper cabin. An exception may be made for inhalers and epipens, with the parents' permission..

 

All prescription medications must be sent to Camp in the ORIGINAL CONTAINER, with DISPENSING DIRECTIONS written.

 

Please DO NOT send OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS such as Tylenol, Advil, Claritin, etc. Our Health Center is well stocked with these medications.

 

In recent years, campers have arrived at Camp with a variety of non-prescription, COMPLEMENTARY SUPPLEMENTS such as: Homeopathic Supplements, Vitamin and Mineral Supplements, or Herbal Supplements. Our policy for these products is as follows:

(a) - These supplements must be stored at the Health Center.
(b) - Campers must visit the Health Center and administer these medications themselves, while in the presence of a Staff member.
(c) - The Camp Valle Verde Health Center Staff are not responsible for the administration of these supplements.
(d) - We request that you refrain from sending any medications other than those ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for the health and well being of your camper.

  Sunsense

Protective Clothing and Sunscreen

Staff encourage campers to protect themselves by reminding them to wear hats, protective clothing and sunscreen. Campers with sensitive skin must bring sunscreen (SPF 30 or more). Please take time to discuss these preparations with your camper and to provide appropriate sun protection/education.
