Infirmary Medications

Each summer, Beacon stocks a variety of medication in our camp infirmary to take care of campers while they participant in our programs. These medications are available to all campers, and unless indicated on a camper medical form, our camp medical staff will administer the required medication to treat campers effectively and safely. 

The common medications below are fully stocked at our camp, and you do not need to send them to camp with your child (we carry other medication as well, but they are not commonly brought to camp). Sending unnecessary, non-prescription medication to camp can prevent medical staff from administering required prescription medication to campers, and we ask that you kindly refrain from sending medication that we stock, as it slows down our medical staff as they meet the needs of campers. We hope that you can support us in reducing the administrative burden on our medical team.
