Health and Safety

• For church/school groups, turn medications into the designated leader. Please follow all instructions above on how to send medications. The Health Center staff will visit the group leader at Registration as part of the “check-in” process to verify the medications, dosages and go over any specific instructions from you. 
• For individual campers, as part of the check-in process, you will come visit with the healthcare staff and “check-in” your campers’ medication at registration.

• Due to the already large number of medicines tracked and given out during the week, we only want to check-in and administer vitamins that are essential for your camper to take while at camp. Please make sure vitamins come with a prescription from a licensed provider or written instructions from you. They need to come in their original container.  
• To ensure your campers safety, we must have an order signed by a licensed provider (MD, DO, NP or PA) to administer essential oils and/or dietary supplements. The order must include when and how much to give.

We play hard at camp, so most of the time campers don’t have trouble sleeping. However, if you prefer your child be given Melatonin, please bring it and put it on their medication list. If your camper takes a higher than usual dose, please have your physician write us an order.

• Marijuana will not be secured, managed, or dispensed in any biological form at Hume Health Centers.
• Medications containing synthetic THC may be managed and dispensed to Campers by Hume Health Centers only if all the following criteria are met:
  • The medication is approved by the United State Food and Drug Administration. Examples of this type of medication would be Marinol, Syndros or Cesamet.
  • The medication must be prescribed for treatment of symptoms or conditions approved by the FDA.
  • A prescription label on the bottle or package of the medication.
• Hume Health Centers will only administer CBD Oil products if prescribed by a licensed medical provider.
• CBD products may only be administered in three forms while at a Hume location (topical, edible and sublingual).
• Please read our complete Marijuana and CBD Policy here.

• Our Health Center staff will administer all medications, prescribed and OTC, while your camper is at camp. Scheduled medications are generally given around mealtimes and at bedtime. As needed medications will be given when a camper sees the Health Center staff for evaluation. Health Center staff collaborate with campers and counselors to ensure they receive their scheduled medications, but it helps if you tell your camper before they leave what meds (if any) they should expect to be taking, so they’re aware.  
• Medication doses will be administered per physician order or written instruction from you.

• On the last day of camp, you can pick up your meds from the healthcare staff at the medication station in the camp your child attended before or after picking up your camper. Please don’t forget! Medications cannot be mailed back to you. If your child has a rescue medication kept by the counselor (EpiPen, diabetic supplies/medications or rescue inhaler), it is your responsibility to obtain these from your child’s counselor when you pick up your child from camp. 
• Church/school medications will be given back during the last meal before departure.
