CAMP HEALTH DIRECTOR

Camp Rotary employs a full-time Health Director during the summer season, who has the duty of administering to the health needs of our campers, leaders, and staff. This person will perform services which are within his/her training and ability.

Any injury or illness requiring additional skill will be attended to by a doctor. Camp has written agreements with the MyMichigan Hospital in Clare to accept camp emergencies at all times. If the Health Director deems that an injury is beyond their ability to treat, and is not a life threatening injury, the Unit Leaders are expected to drive their Scouts to the local doctor or hospital. All accidents or injuries should be reported to the Health and/or Camp Director immediately!

CAMP ROTARY RELEASE OF CAMPER FORM

Because of the layout of Camp Rotary, in the fact that the Camp Office is separate from the Health Lodge, all campers will need to fill out the Camp Rotary Release of Campers Form in addition to the BSA Health Form.

The Release of Campers Form includes information regarding who the Scout may and may NOT leave camp with and will be turned in separately from the health form. A Scout will NOT be released to anyone who is not listed on this form for any reason, including parents!

MEDICATIONS

The State of Michigan has strict guidelines on the dispensing of medication. The following must be followed without any exceptions. Not following these instructions can lead to the Scout not receiving their medications or the Scout having to be sent home.
• All over the counter medications must be in original containers with a signed note from a parent or guardian stating that this medication can be dispensed to the Scout including dosage amount and frequency.
• All prescription medication MUST BE IN ORIGINAL CONTAINERS and will be given as prescribed on the container. Any changes to the prescribed dosage must have a note from the PRESCRIBING PHYSICIAN on prescription pad or office stationary stating the new dosage.

NO medication can be dispensed if the above conditions are not satisfied.
