To help us care for common, everyday health needs, Camp Onas maintains a selection of over-the-counter medications in our health center.

If a medication appears on our Stock Medication List, you will see it included on your camper’s Health Form. During the form process, you’ll have the opportunity to review and approve each of these medications in advance.

With your approval on file, our licensed medical staff—under the guidance of our camp doctor—may administer these medications as directed on the packaging. This allows us to respond quickly and appropriately if your camper comes to the health center with a minor symptom or concern, such as a headache, allergy, or upset stomach.

We only administer stocked medications based on your prior consent, and always in accordance with standard dosing instructions.
