Summer 2013 Camper Application
*Parents/Guardians- please note our new immunization requirements: In keeping with the current CDC and NYS guidelines, pertussis booster immunization is now required for all participants. This means participants who are 6-10 years old must have 4 doses of DTaP with the last dose at age 4 or older. For participants 11 – 21 years old, they must have 5 doses with a Tdap booster at age 10 or older. Summer Camper Selection Criteria
The following criteria have been established for summer sessions 1 through 8. In order for a child to attend the Double H he/she must:
- Have a diagnosis of cancer, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, HIV/AIDS, serious blood disorder, collagen vascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, mitochondrial disease, and selected neuromuscular impairments (with priority given to muscular dystrophy, CP, and spina bifida) that would preclude attendance at a regular camp.
- Must be ages 6-16 for regular sessions (one through seven) and ages 17-21 and a prior Double H camper for Alumni session.
- Must have attached physician’s forms to indicate that child is medically able to attend camp and all medical information completed in order to provide the optimum level of care for the child while at camp.
While we wish we could accommodate everyone, it is impossible to guarantee enrollment. Acceptance is based on a first come, first served basis in addition to medical criteria focusing on the needs of the child and our ability to provide safe and appropriate camp programming. All applications are medically reviewed by our Nursing Director and Medical Direction. |
