Health

Health and safety are very important to us. In order for us to effectively care for your child in the event of illness or injury, you are required to complete health information for each camper as part of the registration process. Germantown Academy employs a full-time nurse and athletic trainer to meet the health needs of your child. No child will be permitted to begin camp without completed health information.

ATTENTION: For those campers that have already registered in a previous summercompletion of the new registration process ensures that you will have an opportunity to review the health information.  Please review the information to be sure that it is still current. 

A medication form will be necessary for those children who need our assistance in taking a daily medication.  Please click here to download the form, or call the camp office to have one mailed or faxed to you. 

NO CHILD WILL BE PERMITTED TO BEGIN CAMP WITHOUT HAVING PROVIDED THE NECESSARY HEALTH INFORMATION.
