Staff meds, prescription or not also need to be in a locked place. We provide paper lunch bags for storage and easy access on a top cabinet shelf for adults. However, this ear we did have a problem with one counselor's meds missing. We will have to review our policy for next year.

We use regular paper lunch bags to store each campers meds indivdually They are labled with last name first name with a sharpee on both sides of the bags. We line them up in alphabetical order. The names are exposed but not the meds. The campersa know who on meds because they lie up to at med times. We try our best to give meds to each camper without the others intruding. One child. Told us since he is home schooled he never lines up single file anywhere else. I encourage bubble packing if possible we try and work with the counselors to get the meds done at the correct times. Last year a child had to be hospitalized because he missed so many meds. This year was 100% compliance. Even with 700 campers and 2 Nurses! We remind the counselor's by texting them.

Knuckle injuries should never be dismissed as pretty minor stuff. Infections around the bone should be a major consideration I encourage the kids to wrap their knuckles with bandanas. I see a future in Ga Ga Ball PPES.
