This administration must be based on a patient-specific order from the camp's health director or a contracted healthcare professional, or the child's own healthcare provider, and can include over-the-counter medications for common issues like pain, anaphylaxis, or motion sickness, as well as prescription medications for emergencies such as asthma, anaphylaxis, or seizure medications.
