What to Pack

Wondering what to bring for a week (or more!) at SYP? It's pretty easy; bring what you need for the week, but don't overpack.

The following is a general list of what you can expect to bring. In addition, some classes require additional or special equipment. Check below the general list for program-specific suggestions. 

General Packing Guidelines

*Prescription Medications

All students taking prescription medications, are required to bring and turn in medication in pre-dosed dispensers with medications sorted by time of administration.  Dosing information for prescription medications should be documented in CampDoc. This requirement does not include over-the-counter medicine.

The participant is responsible for coming to the SYP Front Desk to have their medications administered.  If self-administration/self-possession is necessary, please provide written permission and request that this is necessary.  Any participant who distributes a medication of any kind to another participant or is found to possess a medication other than the one authorized violates the program's Code of Conduct.

SYP does provide many over-the-counter medications as needed, please do not send these with your child. In your CampDoc profile, you will have the opportunity to authorize SYP staff to provide specific over-the-counter medications or not. In addition, we are happy to create an individual medication plan with you upon request. You can reach us at syp@mtu.edu
