FAQ'S







Is there still time to sign-up?


Camps will be capped this year. This means that you should register online and leave a credit card deposit AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Take advantage of the early bird discounts. As we get closer to the camp dates, check website often for information such as busing, packing lists, and other good stuff. We will also post when our camp is sold out!



Do I need to fill out camper health forms?


There are NO SEPARATE MEDICAL FORMS TO FILL OUT AND MAIL IN. All camper medical information, health questions and parental permissions are completed online during the online registration. Please click HERE for the online registration. ONCE AGAIN, THERE ARE NO MEDICAL FORMS NEEDED!


What if I want to register for more than one Track & Field event or the Multi-events?


We are very flexible in allowing our campers to participate in the programs they choose. During registration, choose your favorite Track & Field event and register for that event. Then send an email to Mike at Mike@FoundationSportCamps.com and let us know your other events and we will be sure to make a note to include you!

CAMPER MEDICATION GUIDELINES




Prescription Medications - It is essential that all medications you send be in the original prescription bottle with a legible label and complete directions for administration. Please only send the amount of medication needed for the duration of camp with one or two extra doses in the event one is dropped or spilled. Please keep the remainder at home.


Epi Pens - Epi pens should be labeled with the camper’s name. You may send in your child’s own Benadryl if that is also recommended. Please place both in a Ziploc bag that is also labeled.


Inhalers and Nebulizers - Any camper with a history of asthma or exercise induced asthma should bring all asthma medication with them. Routine, preventive inhalers will be kept in the infirmary and rescue inhalers should be with the campers at all times. Ideally, send a back up rescue inhaler in case one is lost. The camp has nebulizer machines, and therefore only nebulizer medication and tubing needs to be sent. Please advise your child that if his/her symptoms are not being controlled well they should see the nurse.


Over-the-Counter Medications - Even OTC medications must be kept in the infirmary. If you plan on sending any up with your camper, it must be in a ziplock bag with the campers name on it and turned into the infirmary upon arrival to camp.


No Medication May Be Kept In the Bunks! - Camp Pontiac has a fully supplied infirmary with a nurse on site. All medications including over-the-counter medications, creams, etc must be turned into the infirmary for daily administration. This is to comply with the state Health Department regulations but more importantly to keep your child and other children safe from harm. Even the most common medication is dangerous if taken incorrectly, or shared inappropriately.


Thank you for your compliance with these regulations and for stressing their importance with your camper. Our desire is for every child to have a safe camp experience!
