V- verifying who has dinner meds prior to getting the health form (my first camp gave the health forms to the nurse and the nurse spent all of the first day until after dinner putting all the relevant information onto a paper for each counselor. So i didn't get the info about whether Joey can have ibuprofen but I did get the info that joey is allergic to peanuts and I need to carry an epipen, hopefully the parents have already informed me of this... but as we saw in another thread that doesn't always happen) and he has to take ADHD meds at breakfast and lunch.

F- find the owners of all the clothing they will claim (socks and underwear are usually a no-go, but pants and such usually get claimed... and yes, I said usually...)

Yeah, cleaning is definitely a major part of the last day both for campers and staff!
