I hereby acknowledge that for proper functioning of Camp Crescent Moon, a unique summer camp exclusively for children with sickle cell disease, it is necessary that the doctor/nursing/therapist staff at the camp be able to discuss the Volunteer’s health issues with the non-medical counseling and other staff so that the volunteer staff is able to assist with providing a camp experience which is sensitive to and consistent with the me, the Volunteer’s health issues, limitations, and requirements.
