PLEASE NOTE: Individual family insurance policies apply first for all camper medical needs. Trout Creek carries an accident policy that provides secondary coverage only when necessary.

Please send prescription and essential non-prescription medications only. They must be checked in with the Camp medical personnel at the check-in table on opening day. All medications require:

Original container (no baggies, plastic containers, pill boxes, etc.).
Specific written instructions including name, amount, time, and reason for dispensing.
Parent’s signature authorizing administration by camp personnel.
Correct label including right name, time, and dosage for prescription medications.

Incidental over-the-counter medications such as pain relievers, cold medications, allergy medications, etc. are supplied as needed by the Camp medical personnel according to the standing orders of the Camp Physician.

PLEASE NOTE: Non-essential non-prescription medications will not be accepted (i.e. vitamins, fluoride, herbal medications).
