Yes.
Many students require prescription, scheduled, or emergency/rescue medications. Student camp may expose your child to new and different foods, plants, or insects. We want to ensure your student is well cared for while they are away from home.
Prescription Medications for your student at camp:
• Must be in the original container and labeled with student’s complete name, date of birth, date prescription filled, expiration date, directions for use, precautions (If any), storage requirements (if any), dispensing pharmacy name, the prescriber’s name, phone number, and address
• Need to be checked in with parent/legal guardian and student at check-in for camp
• Medications will not be accepted if there is re-packaging, relabeling, damage, wrong name on the label, incorrect dosing, expired, or if the student has not received the first dose more than 24 hours prior
• Only provide the amount of medication (doses/pills) needed for camp
• Standing orders signed by a FL licensed healthcare provider for OTC medications will be stocked and given as needed to your student at camp nurses’ discretion, as per the specifications below
*Students will only receive standing ordered as needed medications if the OTC Medication Permission Form is signed and submitted by parent/guardian.
