Mandatory Medical Forms
As required by the Board of Health the forms listed below must be in the camp office one week prior to the start of your child’s first session so we can properly list all concerns for the staff BEFORE the campers arrive. All forms are available online or in the Recreation Office.
1. Health History
2. Immunization Record (signed by Physician)
3. Mandatory Physician’s Orders (Completed by the Physician)
Forms brought the day OF camp will result in a long delay: your child will NOT be permitted to join their group until the list is updated and distributed to all staff.

Program Transfer Fee
There is a $10 fee anytime a participant changes sessions, dates, or programs
