By giving us additional information about your child’s medical needs prior to camp beginning, we can work together to ensure your child has a positive camp experience. While the information you choose to share through our online form is confidential, it will be shared among camp management and the instructor working directly with your child.

Only medication that is prescribed by a physician, or is necessary to support an exceptionality is allowed at camp.

All medication must be securely stored at UBC Camps main office, or with UBC Camps staff, and not in a child’s backpack (with the exception of EpiPens and inhalers). A parent/guardian must submit a completed UBC Camps Medication Form prior to the first day of camp if bringing medication to camp.

While all UBC Camps staff are Emergency First Aid certified, camps staff are not medical professionals and are not authorized to administer medication. Campers are required to self-administer medication, with staff supervision. Medication may need to be given to UBC Camps in pre-measured, labeled dosages. If your camper is not able to self-administer medication under supervision, please contact the office to discuss alternative options.

Additionally, the UBC hospital is located near all on-campus facilities and provides complete first aid and medical services.
