We have campers with severe peanut allergies. Please do not bring food items with peanuts to camp!

Money…

The snack shack and the canteen will be open each night for ice-cream and snacks at additional costs. The Runner’s Edge will have a store on site offering shoes, books, videos and apparel at great discounts. Tips are also appreciated by our bunk counselors, but certainly NOT mandatory.

Color War…

Each year, campers are divided into Color War Teams. Please check the website the week before camp to see what COLOR TEAM you have been assigned. Bring as much of that color as you can for that ONE AFTERNOON (not all week)! Sign up for our FACEBOOK page for color war updates!

• NO SWITCHING TEAMS or the team will not be equally divided.
• TEAM RED = TBA
• TEAM YELLOW = TBA
• TEAM GREEN = TBA

Camper Medication Guidelines 

Prescription Medications 

It is essential that all medications you send be in the original prescription bottle with a legible label and complete directions for administration. Please only send the amount of medication needed for the duration of camp with one or two extra doses in the event one is dropped or spilled. Please keep the remainder at home. 

Epi Pens 

Epi pens should be labeled with the camper’s name. You may send in your child’s own Benadryl if that is also recommended. Please place both in a Ziploc bag that is also labeled. 

Inhalers and Nebulizers 

Any camper with a history of asthma or exercise induced asthma should bring all asthma medication with them. Routine, 

preventive inhalers will be kept in the infirmary and rescue inhalers should be with the campers at all times. Ideally, send a back up rescue inhaler in case one is lost. The camp has nebulizer machines, and therefore only nebulizer medication and tubing needs to be sent. Please advise your child that if his/her symptoms are not being controlled well they should see the nurse. 

Over-the-Counter Medications 

Even OTC medications must be kept in the infirmary. If you plan on sending any up with your camper, it must be in a ziplock bag with the campers name on it and turned into the infirmary upon arrival to camp. 

No Medication May Be Kept In the Bunks! 

Camp Pontiac has a fully supplied infirmary with a nurse on site. All medications including over-the-counter medications, creams, etc must be turned into the infirmary for daily administration. This is to comply with the state Health Department regulations but more importantly to keep your child and other children safe from harm. Even the most common medication is dangerous if taken incorrectly, or shared inappropriately.

Thank you for your compliance with these regulations and for stressing their importance with your camper. Our desire is for every child to have a safe camp experience!
