Summer Nature Camp Forms

Greetings 2010 Summer Camp Families!

On behalf of the entire staff at New Canaan Nature Center, welcome to Summer Camp 2010! We are thrilled that you have chosen NCNC for a summer filled with fun and learning in the great outdoors! We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting many new friends this summer.

Camp Forms

We are required by law to have camper emergency information and a valid health form on file before your child(ren) attend camp. Your child(ren) may not begin camp until we have these forms on file. NO EXCEPTIONS can be afforded. Return all forms no later than the Monday before each session begins.
  1. CAMPER HEALTH EXAM FORM
    • Health Record Forms must be signed by both a physician and a parent/guardian. Medical exams are valid for 3 years.
    • REQUIRED for ALL CAMPERS Except Summer Nurturing Nature who are accompanied by parent/guardian throughout their camp time at NCNC.
    • Physician must sign our form (but can also attach medical exam / history info).
    • For Beginner’s Nature Program (BNP) students ONLY: We will automatically pull your Health Record Form from the 2009-10 preschool files; however, we will still need a Camper Information Form.
  2. CAMPER INFORMATION FORM
    • REQUIRED for ALL CAMPERS / ALL AGE GROUPS, even if attended camp last year.
    • This form provides important up-to-date Emergency Contact & Emergency Release information along with current authorized persons to pick-up child(ren) from camp.
  3. ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION FORM
    • REQUIRED for ALL PRESCRIPTION and NON-PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS
    • Must be signed by both physician and parent/guardian.
    • Applies for medications to be administered by NCNC staff or self-administered by camper.

Please RETURN ALL Summer Camp Forms to Nature Center by May 21st

Due to strict Connecticut state licensing regulations, we must have all paperwork (Health Exam Form, Camper Info Form, and applicable Medical Administration Forms) on file no later than the Monday before your child attends camp. Your child will not be considered fully registered unless we have received their forms. This means that you must give us the Health Exam Form, signed by a physician and parent/guardian, before you may leave your child in our care. NO EXCEPTIONS can be afforded. This is a serious matter of state licensing regulations, so please RETURN ALL Forms before May 21st to help us maintain our licensing standards and provide an easy and seemless check-in process once camp begins.

If you have any questions regarding Camp Forms, contact Geoff McCann (966-9577 x38) with any questions., Summer Camp Director.
