Medical
requirements
- If your child is on prescription medication in tablet form, you must send
the medication in a Webster Pack which can be obtained from your chemist.
- If your child is on any other prescription medication (such as syrup,
ointment, Ventolin/Asthma puffer, spray or cream) a letter must be completed by
the child’s Doctor providing endorsement/authorization for Cottage staff to give
your child their medication. The Doctor must note the condition, dosage and
times the child requires this. The letter must be displayed on the Doctor’s own
letterhead, with the Doctor’s stamp and signature. Medication must be in
original package.
- If the medication is over-the-counter, all that is required is a hand
written note from the parent/guardian with the dosage details and giving Cottage
staff authorisation to administer this medication. Medication must be in
original package.
- Failure to comply with the guidelines will result in your child being unable
to attend camp.
- All children are checked for lice/nits on arrival at camp and will be
treated with a herbal product if needed.
