(Please review with your child)
It is our hope that everyone that participates in our program will have a positive experience that will last a lifetime. To help everyone get the most out of their camp experience, we have set up a list of ground rules to help parents and children understand what we expect at camp. We recognize the special needs of our campers and will as much as possible; individualize the rules according to the needs and abilities of each camper. Camp has four basic rules that we explain to the children and also post in the cabins. We have these rules so that everyone can be assured of a positive experience. • Respect yourself, others and property. This means abusiveness toward others or using inappropriate
language, fighting, stealing, etc. It also covers property damage, graffiti or vandalism. Respect yourself, refers to keeping your things picked up, personal hygiene and taking your medication on time. • Participate in camp activities. It is camp’s responsibility to know where all the campers are at all times. We
ask campers to be at all activities unless excused by staff. Campers cannot be left alone in their cabin. • Follow directions. There are a lot of fun things to do at camp but every activity has rules so we can operate the
activity safely and appropriately. We ask the campers to follow staff direction during these activities. • No put-downs. Examples of this would include teasing, name-calling, racial slurs or inappropriate practical

If we do have a problem with inappropriate behavior, we have a camper behavior response policy. The counselor
will start by giving the child a warning, then a time-out with an explanation and discussion on what is causing the
problem. If the counselor needs help, a behavioral specialist or the designated healthcare team supervisor on site
will work with the child to help avoid further problems. We will also call home to find out if the parents have any
suggestions on ways to deter the inappropriate behavior. As a last resort, we may need to send a child home.
Sometimes in the case of severe homesickness or if misbehavior could cause immediate harm to themselves or
others, we reserve the right to immediately ask that the child be removed from camp.
It is our hope that each child will go home with great memories of camp. These rules are designed to protect the
camper’s experience so that one unruly child won’t ruin the experience for the rest. If you have any questions or
comments, please fell free to call. It is our mission to provide a quality experience for everyone.
I understand and accept that my child must abide by the Camper Code of Conduct


I agree to abide by the Camper Code of Conduct
ASTHMA CAMP MEDICAL HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION - to be completed by physician
An important note to Healthcare Providers:
This Medical History and Physical Examination form is a mandatory part of your patient’s asthma camp application. If applicable, please try to simplify the medication regime that the child follows during camp. For example: if a medication can be given TID, with meals, instead of QID (or BID instead of TID), this would be helpful for the child and the medical personnel. Furthermore, inhalation therapy with a nebulizer can be time consuming for the child at camp; please carefully review the child’s need for this form of therapy. Also, allergy shots will not be given at camp.
