Each new camper must obtain a health form from the registrar (or downloaded as a .pdf file below) which is to be filled out and signed by both the parent and physician. Returning camper's health forms are on file at Camp Berger and is only valid and acceptable for 3 years. If your child's health form is out of date, the registrar will notify you. All new forms are to be completed and sent with registration.
The Camp Director and/or the Camp Nurse must be informed if the camper is currently receiving special health care from a physician, social worker, psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.
Each child will be checked by the Camp Medical Staff at the time of arrival. Any camper or staff member that is a vegetarian, have dietary concerns and/or allergies, must send a letter with application or medical form prior to arrival at Camp Berger, so Food Service Staff may plan menus accordingly.
All medications, prescriptions or otherwise, are dispensed by the Camp Health Director/Camp Nurse. No medicines, including aspirin, can be kept in the cabins. All prescriptions and medication brought into camp must be accompanied by written orders, signed by a physician. They must include the camper's name, dosage, and time. All medications, including over-the-counter (vitamins, creams, lotions, cough drops, etc.) and medical equipment, such as asthma pumps, must be turned in and dispensed by the Camp Health Director as required by law. You may call us anytime if you would like to know more information about our policies. At check in, give medications directly to the Health Staff. Please make sure camper's name is on all items.
