Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit this template?

Absolutely. The PDF is fully editable. Add your camp logo, adjust fields, customize it for your organization.

Do I need permission from parents for medication administration?

Yes. Always require explicit consent before administering any medication. This template includes a dedicated consent section for that.

What if a camper has dietary restrictions?

List them in the dietary restrictions field. Share this info with your kitchen/meal coordinator before camp starts. Many organizations photograph this section for easy reference during mealtimes.
