YMCA Camp Hi-Rock

1. Daily medical care is provided by the medical staff in accordance with our standing orders from our consulting medical practice, Macony P.C. Our medical staff is available 24 hours a day. A sick call is available periodically throughout the day for mildly ill campers. First aid kits are kept in the program areas and the campers' living areas. They are also carried on hikes and overnight trips. The majority of first aid will be administered by the medical staff. The general staff will administer first aid when necessary. Individuals administering first aid are qualified in at least basic first aid. Staff members will call for assistance in any situation where procedure is unclear. 2. Medications of any kind, including over-the-counter medications and vitamins, can only be administered with a current and complete YMCA Camp Hi-Rock Medication Administration Release form, signed by both the parent/guardian and the prescribing physician. All medications will be locked in the camp infirmary. All administration of medication will take place under the direct supervision of camp medical staff. Should a medication be required to be kept on the camper's person, a physician must provide a written authorization for the medication to be with the camper at all times (usually in the case of albuterol or epinephrine). YMCA Camp Hi-Rock has standing orders to administer some typical over-the-counter medications as deemed necessary by our medical staff, including acetaminophen (Tylenol), Benadryl, milk of magnesia, oxygen, VoSol (ear drops), oral glucose, Chloraseptic, activated charcoal, and others as deemed necessary by our consulting physicians. Medications given per standing orders do not require a Medication Administration Release. 3. Emergency medical care is administered by the medical staff, and, if necessary, campers will be transported to a hospital or doctor's office for further treatment. In the case where the camp emergency vehicle is inadequate given the patient's needs, or in any other case deemed necessary by camp staff, the Emergency Medical System will be activated. 4. The camp must comply with the regulations of the State of Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the local Board of Health. 5. Copies of our background check, complete health care and discipline policies and our procedures for filing grievances are available to parents upon request.
