Hi Katie!
It is totally approved, and can make things a lot easier. Especially in case you wind up having to delegate medicines for a trip or something. We currently use PackMyRx for all of our campers who have prescribed medications. Enrollment in a service like this can be tedious and expensive for parents. So, it kind of depends on your camper population and what your leadership will agree to. I am thinking next year we will actually move away from a formal, required service and instead do something like what you are thinking. Tell the parents they must get us the medication in appropriately labeled blister packs, using their pharmacy of choice.
If you go to the resources section of ACH website there is a medication administration section. All of that info can be really helpful in talking with parents and administrators about what is needed for meds to be given at camp. Good luck… please update on how it goes!
