Please take note of the following information so that you and your child can prepare for camp:
We require three documents for Cary summer camps. Please have all medical paperwork files ready prior to filling out the online “Camper Background Form.”
Submit all medical paperwork via the online Camper Background Form. Alternatively, you can deliver hard copies via mail, in person at our office, or fax. Do not email medical records. Communications via email are not secure. Although it is unlikely, there is a possibility that information you include in an email can be intercepted and read by other parties besides the person to whom it is addressed. Therefore, we need all personal and medical information to be submitted through the secure online form, hard copy, or fax. Thank you!
For safety-related and legal reasons, your child will not be able to attend camp without completed health forms and immunization records. If you have questions regarding immunizations, please speak to your child’s healthcare provider.
Medical Documents
- Mandatory Physician’s Orders Form - This form must be completed by your child’s physician. It includes permission for your child to be treated with First Aid topical ointments during camp, and provides space for information regarding prescription medications.
- Immunization records -. Cary summer camps require the same immunizations outlined by the New York State Immunization Requirements for Schools. The immunization records can be attached separately, or they can be included with the Mandatory Physician’s Orders Form as one attachment.
