Camp Forms

Required Health Forms 

Health information will be collected through the online registration process. Some health conditions require additional paper forms. Once you have completed the online application, please print and complete any relevant forms listed below under Camp Forms.

Additional paper forms are required if your camper experiences asthmatic, allergic reactions or seizures; if they will need to take any prescription medications while at camp; or if you would like to authorize the camp to dispense any over the counter medications to your child while at camp. If this is the case, please complete the Medication Authorization Forms and the Specialized Health Care Forms—a signature from your child's Primary Care Physician is required for these forms to be accepted by the camp.

Additionally, campers who are NOT currently enrolled in a school or daycare in DC, MD, or VA must provide their immunization records to the Health Office. Send immunization records to nurse@nps-dc.org.

All forms are due on or before June 1 or upon registration.

Failure to submit forms on time may result in cancellation of your camper’s registration.

Prescription Medication Authorization Form (Click to download and print) - for campers bringing prescription medication to camp. Primary Care Physician's signature required.

OTC Medication Authorization Form (Click to download and print) - Primary Care Physician's signature required in order to have any over-the-counter medications. (Advil, Benadryl, Tylenol, etc.) or ointments (first aid cream, antibiotic, etc.) administered to your child while at Camp.

  • DC law requires that we obtain the signature of the parent/guardian as well as the Primary Care Physician for the administration of ANY medication – prescription and over the counter. This includes Epi-Pens, inhalers, insect repellent, Tylenol, and Benadryl.
  • You are responsible for obtaining the authorization of the Primary Care Physician as well as providing the specific medication to be administered to the Camp Nurse. All information and supplies needed for the proper administration of the medication and a current form must be on file at Camp. We suggest that parents/guardians obtain this authorization at the time of the annual physical and/or prior to the start of each camp season.
  • Medication requests must be renewed annually.
  • Any changes to dosage or frequency require a new form including the signature of the Primary Care Physician.
  • All medication must be provided by the parent/guardian in the original container. Medication that is without a doctor’s order, expired, incorrectly labeled, or improperly stored will not be accepted. Please speak with your physician or pharmacy to help prepare.
  • We encourage you to be prepared by completing a form/s for any medication that your child might need to take at camp, such as seasonal allergy medication, frequently used OTC medications, seldom-used inhalers or similar such needs.

Specialized Health Care Forms

If your child experiences allergic reactions, asthmatic symptoms, or seizures, the appropriate forms above must be completed and signed by  your child's Primary Care Physician and a parent/guardian. Even if your child had a form on file last year, a new form is required for each camp season. Please be sure to bring in all medications (i.e. antihistamine) and/or at least two emergency devices (i.e. epinephrine injector and/or inhaler) referenced on the form on or by your child’s first day of camp.

If your child is a current NPS student, please contact the School Nurse to inquire about leaving your child's medications at camp for the summer.  

Specialized Health Care Forms & Emergency Medications 

It is important that you use these versions of the forms.

If your child experiences allergic reactions, asthmatic symptoms, or seizures, the appropriate forms above must be completed and signed by your child's Primary Healthcare Physician and parent/guardian. Even if your child had a form on file last year, a new form is required for each camp season. Please be sure to bring in all medications (i.e. antihistamine) and/or at least two emergency devices (i.e. epinephrine injector and/or inhaler) referenced on the form on or by your child’s first day of camp.

Sun Protection 

We ask that you apply sunscreen to your child every morning and send in a bottle labeled with their name. We will help reapply before outside activities and water play. Please consider packing a sun hat, visor, or bandana. Camp does not keep spare sunscreen on hand, nor can we permit sharing of sunscreen.
