If you forget these forms, or they are not filled out completely, your child will not be allowed to participate in camp. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Yes. A Parental Release/Health Form is required for each session of camp you attend. If you are attending four camps, you will need to bring a copy to each check-in. You may copy the original, provided there is a doctor's signature, and change the camp name/dates.
