What if my child has a medical condition (for example, broken bone, hospitalization, new chronic diagnosis, or new medication) after completing the forms but before attending camp?

  • Please update the Health Form in Mission Control as soon as possible.
  • Please notify specialneeds@spacecamp.com as soon as possible. The special needs nurse will discuss with you next steps based on the specific health needs of your child.
  • If your child has a new medical condition like a surgery or broken bone prior to camp, please tell the treating healthcare provider your child is attending Space Camp and ask if it is still safe for them to attend, and if there are any restrictions they will need to follow.
  • If your child has a change in medications after submitting the health/medication form, please ask the provider to sign a new form with the new instructions.
  • If your child is taking the same prescription medication but the instructions have changed (for example, the bottle says “one tab in the morning” but now the doctor wants them to take one-half tab at night), you must have the doctor’s instructions in writing with a signature. Medications will be given exactly as prescribed either on the prescription label or on the Medication Administration form (see “Medication at Camp” section).
