All non-accident health care requirements which are not Camp-related will be at the parent’s or guardian’s own expense. A copy of the insurance settlement must be submitted with all claims for reimbursement.
Forms: Prior to Camp, a forms pack (medical, activities, transportation) will be available for download on-line. These forms must be completed and on-file in the Camp office by May 1, 2012. For the health form, a physical exam is required within twelve months of the camper’s arrival at Camp.
Vaccination Policy:The URJ Camping system considers camp safety and public health as matters of utmost importance. The vaccination of all members of the camp community ranks as a key component in maintaining a safe environment and in decreasing the risk of transmission of contagious illness. Accordingly, the URJ Camping system requires that any member of the camp community in residence receive up-to-date, age-appropriate immunizations. The complete list of required immunizations and exemptions can be found on the Health History Form.
