Summer Camp Medication Form
This form is used for minors attending a Deerfield Township Summer Camp (camps staffed and managed by the Deerfield Township Parks and Recreation Department).
Medication Policies
Only medications that are prescribed by a physician or necessary to treat a disability are allowed at camp. In order to bring an Epi-pen, inhaler, or other medication to camp, a parent/guardian must submit a completed Summer Camp Medication Form at least 10 business days prior to the first day of camp. Each medication requires a separate form.
Approved medications must:
- Be in the original prescription container
- Be clearly marked with the child’s name
- Have a current date (not expired)
- Be brought to camp staff upon arrival on the first day of camp
- Be signed in/out by an authorized adult each day (if the child is not authorized as self-carry)
Camp staff are not medical professionals and are not authorized to administer medication. (Camp staff are First Aid/CPR Certified.)
- Children are required to self-administer medications, whenever possible.
- Camp staff are trained in administering epi-pens and may assist with administration in an emergency.
- If a child is not authorized as self-carry, camp staff may hold the medication until the child asks for it.
- Camp staff are not authorized to remind children of medication times.
Step 1: Printing the Form

- Please note that the form only needs to be completed once per summer, unless there are changes.

Step 2: Completing the Form
- Please read the form carefully and completely.
- Part 2 must be completed and signed by the child's Health Care Provider.
- Part 3 & 4 must be completed and signed by the child's legal parent/guardian.
- A current photo is helpful for verifying the identification of a child. The photo doesn't need to be anything fancy, just one where we can see the child's face.
