New York State Law prohibits campers from keeping any medication (including over-the-counter items such as vitamins, aspirin, analgesic and antihistamine) in the bunk area. It is not necessary to send your child with these medicines, as the health center will provide these as needed. Campers may be dismissed from camp for keeping medications in their bunks.

All medication administered at camp must be pre-packaged by Pack My Rx, Sprout Lake’s pre-packaged medication vendor. Sprout Lake requires all parents/guardians whose children take ANY chronic or over the counter medication chronically, to register with Pack My Rx, a vendor that will dispense and package all of your child/ren’s medication for the duration of the camp season. ALL MEDICATION must go through Pack My Rx, including inhalers, liquid, PRN (as needed medications), etc.                                                                                                                                                                                               

Medication Dispensing: Pack My Rx and Aurora Long Term Care will prepare your child’s medications in user-friendly multi-dose strip pouches, labeled with their name, medication details, and instructions. This not only helps our nurses stay organized but also minimizes the risk of errors. To prioritize safety, you will not be allow to bring any medications with your child to camp.

Registration Process: Complete your registration promptly at www.packmyrx.com. Registration opens on February 1st. Early registration is crucial to ensure timely delivery of medications, avoiding any late fees or expedited shipping charges.

Your physician should send prescriptions directly to Aurora Long Term Care at least one month before camp begins.

Fees:

  • Registration Fee: $75 per camper (excluding medication costs).
  • Medication Deposit: $100 per camper (for copays, non-insurance covered meds, over-the-counter items).
  • Unused Medication Deposit Balance: Refunded in September if costs are less than $100. Any exceeding costs will be charged to the credit card on file.

30 Days Before Camp: Ensure that we have received:

  • Completed registration.
  • All prescriptions for 30 days, including refills or additional scripts for controlled substances.
  • Copy of insurance card if applicable.

Late Fees:

A late fee of $85 will be applied if registrations, prescriptions, and insurance information are not received at least 30 days before camp starts. This fee also applies to any medication changes requiring special shipments during a camp session.

Insurance Billing: Most commercial prescription insurance plans are accepted, and Aurora Long Term Care will bill insurance shortly before or during camp. Parents are responsible for out-of-pocket expenses.

Sprout Lake will NOT be distributing or administering vitamins in any form or supplements to our campers.

MIRALAX:
Due to the overwhelming amount of campers who take Miralax, camp will now be providing Miralax to all of our campers who need it. Parents no longer need to order it through PackMyRx or bring it to camp on opening day. Camp will be charging a fee of $30 for each camper (per session) that will be taking Miralax during the summer. If your child is attending a shorter session it will be $20 (2 weeks) or $10 (1 week). In order for your camper to have Miralax at camp you must enter it in to the medication section of the Health History. If it is not written in your Health History we will not dispense it.

INJECTIONS:
The amount of injections that our medical team gives has been growing every summer. For summer 2024 there will be a $50 charge per session for any camper that takes an injection which includes growth hormone, or allergy shots. Injections will be given each day at the same time, directly after dinner. In order for your camper to have an injection at camp you must enter it in to the medication section of the Health History, and bring the shots to camp with a prescription and orders from the doctor. If it is not written in your Health History we will not be able to give the injection.
