Important Update: Medication Administration at Camp Jotoni
Beginning in 2026, Camp Jotoni will be partnering with Genoa Pharmacy to streamline and enhance our medication administration process. This partnership is designed to increase health and safety, reduce potential medication errors, and allow staff to spend more time engaging with campers and activities.
Why We’re Making This Change:
For several years, families have expressed how difficult it can be to obtain bubble packaging for camper medications from traditional pharmacies. Partnering with Genoa Pharmacy provides an easy and reliable solution. Genoa will fill, package, and deliver medications directly to camp before your camper’s arrival.
Benefits for Families:
Improved safety and accuracy in medication administration.Simplified preparation—Genoa coordinates directly with your prescribers and insurance.Faster check-in—medications arrive at camp in advance, giving you priority at registration.Less last-minute stress—no more urgent pharmacy visits before camp.
While families who do not enroll with Genoa Pharmacy may still participate in camp, we strongly urge all families to use this service to ensure a safe and consistent medication process for all campers. Please note that beginning in 2026, check-in priority will be given to families enrolled with Genoa Pharmacy.
How do I enroll with Genoa Pharmacy?
At registration, you’ll receive paperwork to enroll in Genoa Pharmacy. Completing it early won’t affect your camper’s acceptance and only needs to be done once — it will carry over for future years. The form does not require a physician’s signature. You’ll still need a Camp Jotoni Physical Examination Form signed by a physician within a year of camp.Once accepted, your physician will send prescriptions to Genoa (electronically or physically). Genoa handles the rest! At drop-off, you’ll skip the usual medication check-in with the nurse — saving time — though you can still speak with a nurse if needed.
What if my camper isn’t taking medication?
Please submit the Genoa form indicating you’re not enrolling, so we know no further information is needed. You’ll still need the signed Physical Examination Form noting that your camper takes no medications.
Are there extra costs to use Genoa?
No. Genoa bills your insurance directly – you’ll only pay your regular copay.
What if I recently filled a 90-day prescription?
Genoa will coordinate with your insurance and providers to supply the necessary camp doses.
Can Genoa handle special medications (controlled, liquid, refrigerated, PRN, or OTC)?
Yes. Genoa can fill all these medications as long as they receive the proper prescriptions. Controlled and refrigerated meds are securely packaged and logged.
Can I use Genoa for the Spring Respite Weekends?
Likely yes! If you plan to use Genoa for summer, we recommend setting it up before spring for a smoother experience. Once your camper is accepted, let us know you plan to use Genoa for your respite weekend so we can help you prepare.
Thank you again for being part of our Camp Jotoni community. We look forward to another wonderful year ahead filled with friendship, laughter, and unforgettable camp experiences. As always please reach out with any questions or concerns.
