If I attended 2013 Winter Camps, do I need to bring the medical forms with me to 2013 Summer Camps?
Yes. Physicals dated within one year of camp are valid and will be accepted; each camper will be responsible for providing all medical consent and physical forms the day of camp.

If I want to attend more than one 2013 Summer Camps, do I need to bring medical forms for each day?
No. Once your medical consent and physical forms are presented at one summer camp, they will be valid for all 2013 Summer Camps.
