Before Coming to Camp

We are required by law to have camper emergency information and a valid health form on file before your child attends camp. Your child may not begin camp until we have these forms on file. NO EXCEPTIONS are allowed. Please return all forms by May 23rd.

Please download and review the 2011 Camp Overview & Guidelines and the Parent Welcome Letter.


Camp Forms

All forms must be received by Monday, May 23rd. Required forms can be downloaded below. If you have any questions, please call Geoff McCann, Summer Camp Director, at 203-966-9577 x 38.

1.   CAMPER INFORMATION FORM

  • Required for ALL CAMPERS in ALL AGE GROUPS, even if attended camp last year
  • This form provides important information such as:
    • Up-to-date Emergency Contacts
    • Emergency Release information
    • Authorized persons to pick-up child(ren) from camp

2.   CAMPER HEALTH EXAM FORM

  • Please note: Health Exam Form is Page 2 of Camper Information Form

  • Physician must sign our form (but can also attach medical exam / history info)
  • For current Nature Center Preschool students ONLY: We will automatically pull your Health Record Form from the 2010-11 Preschool files; however, we will still need a Camper Information Form (see below)
3.   ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION FORM

  • REQUIRED for ALL PRESCRIPTION and NON-PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS
    • Must be signed by physician
    • Must also be signed by parent/guardian

Please RETURN ALL Summer Camp Forms to Nature Center by May 23rd

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 23rd 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 Summer Camp Director Geoff McCann (966-9577 x38) with any questions.
