To attend the camp, every applicant must submit a separate medical form (separate from this online application) that is completed by their healthcare provider or a qualifying practitioner. You have two options for submitting the medical form: you can either wait for the processing of this application to be completed and then submit the medical form or you can submit it in advance. After submitting your application, we will inform you whether you have been accepted or not. If you submit the medical form prior to being notified if you have been accepted to camp or not, and you are not accepted to camp, the medical form will be destroyed on our end. You can find this form on our website at www.campbenedict.org. If your application is approved, you will receive an email requesting this medical form if your provider or case manager/social worker has not already submitted it. You cannot attend Camp even if accepted if the medical form is not completely filled out with your provider's signature. This must be done prior to Camp.
If any of the applicants have particular medical concerns or dietary requirements, please inform us before being accepted. In this case, please provide any necessary additional information in the space provided on this online application.
Please note that our staff is not authorized to take campers offsite for appointments or medication pick-up. Therefore, all campers are required to bring all necessary medications and be physically able to attend and participate in all camp sessions. Participation in all group sessions is mandatory for all campers. All campers are required to attend all group sessions during their time at Camp Benedict. Please do not schedule any appointments outside of Camp Benedict's programming hours through Zoom. We expect all campers to fully participate in all scheduled programming without any distractions. However, there will be some downtime during the week. In case you need to schedule a medically necessary Zoom session that cannot wait, please reach out to your case manager in advance. They will help you communicate with one of our team members to discuss your scheduling needs before agreeing to the terms of the camp.
