PREPARING FOR CAMPRETURNING INFORMATION FORMSAll forms are online and must be completed on the Wenonah website(www.campwenonah.com) by April 26, 2013. If you prefer to submit hard copies ofthis information, please download forms from our website.Even if there are no updates from previous years, we need you to complete theCamper Information & Health Form. This is required by law, and in compliancewith Ontario Camps Association standards. Most hospitals now prefer that patientshave their original health card with them. As a compromise, we ask that you provideus with a photocopy of your child’s health card. Please mail this separately to ourBurlington Office by April 26 th .Campers will choose their instructional activities, Personal Individual Choices (PICs), on the first day of Camp.If you would like your child to take swim lessons the PIC Pre-Selection Form must be completed. Campersattending P1A, P1B, P3A, P3B, P4B, P5, WEEnonah or the Polaris and WCIT programs do not choose PICs.The Incidentals Booking Form, must be completed even if you are not paying any extra charges or signingup for an outtrip, as this form includes your transportation information. If your child is not taking the bus,indicate travel to and/or from Camp by car.We understand some parents may be hesitant to disclose information about their child’s behaviour or pastexperiences. Camp is often a place for a fresh start. However, our staff use the information that you provide toensure that your child settles in and has a smooth transition into Camp routines. Having prior knowledge abouta learning difficulty, bed-wetting problem, recent loss or major family change makes a tremendous difference inhelping us to be sensitive and understanding and supportive - especially in the first few days of Camp. Childrenoften use their behaviour to let us know what they are feeling, and the more we know about your child inadvance, the better equipped we are to provide a positive experience. Information on a camper is shared withthe Directors, the Nurse, the Wellness Director, the Section Directors, and your child’s Counsellor. In otherwords, only the people who need this information have access to it. We know you want the best experience foryour child. So do we!PROMOTIONAL PICTURES/SLIDESEach year, many pictures are taken at Camp to use for our Camp slide show, brochure, website, CampArchives and, on occasion, for provincial, national and international camping associations. If, for any reason,your child/children should not appear in these pictures, notify us in writing by the start of Camp. Note thatcampers bring their own cameras and photograph each other as well, and we have no control over how thosepictures are used.- 5 -
