Summer Camp Medication Form


This form is used for minors attending a Deerfield Township Summer Camp (camps staffed and managed by the Deerfield Township Parks and Recreation Department).

Medication Policies

Only medications that are prescribed by a physician or necessary to treat a disability are allowed at camp. In order to bring an Epi-pen, inhaler, or other medication to camp, a parent/guardian must submit a completed Summer Camp Medication Form at least 10 business days prior to the first day of camp. Each medication requires a separate form.

Approved medications must:
- Be in the original prescription container
- Be clearly marked with the child’s name
- Have a current date (not expired)
- Be brought to camp staff upon arrival on the first day of camp
- Be signed in/out by an authorized adult each day (if the child is not authorized as self-carry)

Camp staff are not medical professionals and are not authorized to administer medication. (Camp staff are First Aid/CPR Certified.)
- Children are required to self-administer medications, whenever possible.
- Camp staff are trained in administering epi-pens and may assist with administration in an emergency.
- If a child is not authorized as self-carry, camp staff may hold the medication until the child asks for it.
- Camp staff are not authorized to remind children of medication times.

Step 1: Printing the Form

- Please print the 2 page Summer Camp Medication Form.
- Please note that the form only needs to be completed once per summer, unless there are changes.
- Each medication requires a separate form.

Step 2: Completing the Form

- Please read the form carefully and completely.
- Part 2 must be completed and signed by the child's Health Care Provider.
- Part 3 & 4 must be completed and signed by the child's legal parent/guardian.
- A current photo is helpful for verifying the identification of a child. The photo doesn't need to be anything fancy, just one where we can see the child's face. It may be printed on standard copy paper. You can email photos to the Camp Director, Maria Iannelli, at miannelli@deerfieldtwp.com or include it with the mail/in-person forms.
