Upon arrival in your camper’s area a Loucon staff member will ask your camper’s name, verify your photo I.D. and have you sign for medications. They will then send for your camper.

  • All medication, whether prescription or over the counter, is handled by Loucon’s summer healthcare team. They will be present at Check-in to log medication, store it, and to see that your camper receives the correct amount at the proper intervals. Medication must be in its original container and prescriptions must have the name of the child. Please only send the amount of medication they will need during their camp. You’ll receive a form to fill out prior to camp. Please bring this with you for check-in.
