Ona Carbonell Camps will provide an authorization sheet to take medications. The guardian must sign it and specify the dose and the time at which it should be taken. On the first day of the Camp the medication must be provided to the principal, who will guard it and supply it following the instructions on the medication authorization sheet.

Under no circumstances may participants carry medication in their backpack. If the participant needs to take medication at a specific time, it is necessary that the principal has the signed authorization sheet to take medication, and also has it, which will be returned on the last day of the camp. If we do not have this signed sheet and the participant becomes ill, we will take the participant to the doctor. Contact us and we will send you the corresponding authorization sheet.

How do you act if my son or daughter gets ill at the Camp?

We will take the participant to the doctor and call the parents or guardians to inform them of the situation. Once the participant has been treated, we will inform the doctor’s report and, if we have been prescribed a medication, we let you know what it is. From this moment, we will follow the doctor’s instructions, only if the parents or guardians do not have any inconvenience.

Yes, provided that the director of the Camp does not find any inconvenience and that there is availability of beds in the places assigned to the Camp.

Can I bring mobile phones, music players, or other electronic devices?
