Camper Health Assessment Form – For the safety of all involved, campers and staff will be required to fill out and return this form before they enter the camp premise, where a temperature and wellness check will be taken.  Every day following a temperature check will be taken and recorded, as well as a review of this form to ensure there has been no exposure or symptoms of COVID-19.  Please return this form upon drop-off on the first day of camp.  Camper’s will not be able to attend camp if this form is not returned or completed.
