CAMPER MEDICATION POLICY
Campers must be able to administer their own medication, and we are unable to store medication during the day or overnight. If the camper can administer the medication themselves, our Durham staff is able to supervise. If an adult needs to administer the medication, we can arrange for the camper to be available at a specific time for a parent or guardian to administer the medication to the camper.
