Forms For Campers

Summer Forms

This page tells you what to do with all the forms listed here.  Mail all forms to the registrar as quickly as possible.  Any forms not mailed at least one week before your camper is to arrive should be brought directly to camp.  Campers are admitted conditionally until the Camper Release Form and the appropriate health form are complete and on file.  Information in these forms is made available to staff on a need-to-know basis only.

Summer Registration	This form and the registration fee must be submitted to reserve a place for each camper.
Camper Release	Your child will be released only to the parties you designate.  Include names and phone numbers of every possible authorized party.  If your child will be taken home by a driver from your church check the box “church vehicle driver”.  Be sure to sign the form.  If there is a change of plans after arrival at camp regarding either the person or the date, the executive director must be notified by the person signing the form.
Health Record with exam	Every two years a physical exam is needed. Complete pages 1 and 3 yourself.  Take it to the doctor’s office when the exam is done (page 2).  The doctor’s signature is required. The exam must have been performed within two years of the first day of camp, i.e., since June/July two years ago.  The registrar will notify you if you need a physical exam this year. If your exam is less than 1 year old it will be kept in our files for next year. Tetanus boosters must be current.   NOTE:  Three signatures are required on this form.  Be sure that both a parent/guardian and the camper sign the authorizations on the front page, which includes permission to secure emergency treatment.  Also be sure the physician has signed the second page.
Health Record Update without exam	If last year's Health Record included a physical examination that was less than I year old, it is on file.  Complete pages 1 and 2 of this form.  Immunizations must be current. NOTE:  Two signatures are required on this form.  Be sure that both a parent/guardian and the camper sign the authorizations on the front page, which includes permission to secure emergency treatment.
Parent Questionnaire	This form will help your child’s counselor and activity leaders.  Include any special needs or unique issues that will assist them in understanding and helping your child have a good week at camp.
Behavior Contract	This form clearly states the standards of behavior expected at camp.  Read it with your camper and then both of you need to sign the form.
