During water play, we set up our famous inflatable waterslides, and campers will also enjoy water games and other wet activities. A calendar will be provided prior to each session so families will know when water play days are taking place. Campers should bring a bathing suit and towel on designated water play days.

What if children need to take medication?
All medication (prescription and non-prescription) will be administered by the camp nurse on duty.

Campers with a life-threatening allergy should also have an Allergy Action Plan completed with a doctor's signature and submitted to Summer at Norwood.
The Medication Administration Form and Allergy Action Plan can be accessed in your Summer at Norwood account in the "Document Center." Registered families should click on the three stacked lines in the top left corner in their account home screen.

Summer at Norwood is unable to accept medication forms from schools or other camps. Campers will not be allowed to carry medication nor administer medication to themselves.
Can teachers administer medication?
All medications are held and administered by our nurse on staff. In the event of an emergency or in cases where a physician requires the camper's medication to be with him or her at all times, our teachers and counselors are trained and equipped to medically assist campers.
