I volunteered one week at a small church camp in MO. This is the second year I went to that camp. In 2007 (my first year there), I saw that the medications were on an open shelf and the nurse cabin was also unlocked. I went to the caretaker for the camp and got locks for the cabin and a cabinet for the meds. I was shocked that anyone would find the unlocked meds and unlocked cabin acceptable. I had been at a camp in IN previously and they were heavily regulated.
This year-2008, when I went there, there was not a lock on the cabin door and the medications were also back out on the open shelf. I talked with the camp caretaker again said I would check out MO laws governing camps. I can't find a thing! Does anyone know anything about camp laws in Jefferson county MO?
