Health & Medical

Medical Forms

All Medical Forms must be submitted by June 1st. No camper will be allowed to depart for camp unless we have received his or her Medical Forms.

Please make your appointments now so that you can complete the forms by June 1st.

All Health Forms are completed through the forms section of your CampInTouch account.

Medications

CampMeds is a pre-packing medication program that dispenses all camper medications directly to our camp Health Center.

Tyler Hill families must send ALL DAILY medications to camp through CampMeds. The ONLY exceptions are Accutane, growth hormones, insulin & EpiPens

To register with CampMeds, visit www.campmeds.com for instructions. Note: If your child does not take any DAILY medications, you do not need to register with Mountain Meds.

Our Health Center stocks many commonly used over-the-counter items such as Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Robitussin,m Dramamine, Mylanta, Tums, and Metamucil. Therefore, there is no need to have  CampMeds dispense typical over-the-counter items.

As a reminder, your child’s physician is required to complete the Over the Counter Medication form in the forms section of your CampInTouch account.

We cannot accept any medications at the bus. Exceptions are made ONLY for growth hormones, Epi-Pens, inhalers, and insulin.

Immunizations

All campers and staff are required to have age-appropriate vaccines, as recommended by New York State. For reference, please click here.New York State requires a full listing of up-to-date physician-documented immunizations (including current tetanus).

COVID-19 Picture Releases

 

We cannot wait to share a fun-filled summer with our camper families. Our staff will work diligently to create a safe and memorable experience for your child. Our goal is to be transparent with you – sharing the joys of camp through photos, videos, or written updates.

 

This summer, we ask you to be mindful of fluctuating COVID-19 guidelines and increased scrutiny surrounding compliance. We will share images and videos of your child with you throughout the summer.  However, these images may be misconstrued by those not affiliated or familiar with camp.

 

We ask all families to keep images of your child private this summer, recognizing our commitment to your child’s safety and well-being are paramount.

 

Protect your child and our camp reputation by keeping photos off of social media, unless they are shared by our camp staff on public channels. We appreciate your patience and flexibility during these trying times.
