PARENT HANDBOOK

HEALTH INFORMATION FORM
For a printable Health form click here.

Adequate medical records are important to the well being of our entire camp community. No camper will be received in camp without a current Health Information Form. Please attach a photocopy of your child’s Ontario Health Card, if applicable.

IMPORTANT: In order to aid us in the proper care of your child, please advise us of any special conditions of health, diet, or personal habits that affect your child. This information should be in writing and attached to the Health Information Form or sent in a personal communication to the camp director. Also, should the state of your child's health change or should s/he be exposed to any communicable disease during the 3 weeks prior to camp, the camp office must be informed.

BOOSTERS, INJECTIONS, AND INOCULATIONS
Has your child been fully vaccinated against polio, tetanus and other diseases? Please consult your physician. Most recent tetanus immunization must be specified on the Health Information Form. It is advisable to complete all such inoculations by the end of May.

INSURANCE
The camp accident insurance automatically covers the camper in the event of an accident according to the terms of our policy. In the case of sickness, we will look to your own health insurance coverage for primary payment of bills incurred. In order to prevent mishandling of insurance matters, please make certain that the name of your health insurance company and policy number appear on the camper Health Information Form as requested.

SPECIAL MEDICATIONS
Should your child require special medications, please complete the Medication Form. One copy must be sent to our office by May 15, 2008; another copy is to be included with the medication and handed to a camp staff member at the point of bus departure.

MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS
Should special medical or surgical procedures be required, the camp will make every effort to reach and consult with parents in advance. The camp will also automatically inform the parents in case of any dispensing of antibiotic or confinement of a camper to the infirmary.

EYEGLASSES
Children who wear glasses should bring an extra pair to camp in case of breakage or loss. It would also be a good idea to bring a copy of their latest prescription to be left on file in the infirmary. Please make sure your child’s name is marked on their eyeglasses.

DENTAL WORK
It is important that children’s dental needs be attended to before camp. There is no dentist in camp, and it is difficult for us and expensive for you to have us take children to a dentist in town. In the event that your child must have dental or orthodontic treatment, you will be billed for this service. Camp medical insurance does not cover dental work.

HAIRCUTS
Every camper should have a haircut before departing for camp. There will be no such services provided at camp.

Please have your child’s hair checked for head lice within a week prior to camp.
