I have noted that the most activities are conducted outside, in all kinds of weather. I will send my child to camp with the appropriate equipment, such as rain gear, sturdy shoes, protective clothing, sunscreen, water bottles, etc. I further understand that equipment, clothing, backpacks, coolers, etc. will experience heavy wear and tear.

* I understand that any and all prescription medicine to be administered by camp staff must be sent to camp in a current prescription bottle. I understand that over the counter medications must be sent in their original container. I understand that camp personnel may only administer medication as it is prescribed on the proper container.
