Summer Camp Medical Forms
Posted January 18
Please make sure that your child's medical and dental exams have taken place within a year of their time at camp with us (July 27th, 2012 or AFTER). Exams from Spring 2012 will not satisfy the regulations even if the doctor dates the form more recently. MEDICAL FORMS: Due by MAY 1, 2013 (please contact me if your child has an annual physical scheduled for May or June).
Some of the required forms are different for campers who will be under five years old during any portion of their time at camp. Please be sure to download the correct forms for your child's age.
Please note: Since Lowell is in the District of Columbia, only the DC Certificate is acceptable. We cannot accept school health forms from neighboring jurisdictions as a substitute. Also, all campers must comply with DC regulations regarding required immunizations and PPD and lead screenings. Children who do not live in the District may not have had some of these as part of their routine medical care. Please print out the attached flyer, Immunization Requirements 2011-2012, and review it with your child's pediatrician to determine if all vaccines and screenings have been given.
Thank you very much for your cooperation in helping us meet our licensing requirements.
