After submitting your application, you will receive an email from a third-party vendor with instructions to complete the background check authorization. The cost of the background check is fully covered by the Epilepsy Foundation of Idaho.

Upon approval of your application, you will also receive a link to complete the on-demand, free, virtual Seizure First Aid certification. The certification is valid for two years, so if you completed it last year, you do not need to retake it at this time. The link will be distributed closer to camp.
