Camper Care Plan Acknowledgement

CedarS Camps is classified by the American Camp Association as a “non-medical religious camp.” Our authorized care providers are Christian Science Nurses and Practitioners. Dispensing medicine or treating campers under medical care falls outside their legal scope of services. If a camper requires any form of medication (prescription or over-the-counter), a parent or adult caregiver must accompany the camper to administer medications and be responsible for their health-related care, with the option of serving as an adult helper in exchange for partial tuition credit. In accord with American Camp Association standards, prescriptions and over-the-counter medications are not allowed in camper cabins. In the case of epi-pens and inhalers, please contact the camp director for additional options.

Informed Consent and Acknowledgement

I authorize and request CedarS Camps in cases of health emergencies to make any and all appropriate and reasonable health treatment decisions. I understand this may include but is not limited to engaging a Christian Science Practitioner, engaging a Christian Science Nurse, admitting my child into the camp’s Christian Science care facility, providing first aid/CPR, contacting emergency medical services, providing emergency transportation, and admitting my child into a clinic or hospital.

I understand that effort will be made to contact a parent or other guardian before administering emergency medical care. However, if deemed necessary before contact can be made, I also grant permission for my child to receive such emergency care. 

I understand the information on this form may be shared on a “need to know” basis with camp staff.
