Health Certificate:
Available on the link below, the certificate is to be filled out by YOU and YOUR DOCTOR and mailed to the Camp Wildwood winter office by June 1st. To provide the best care for your son while at camp, please take the time to carefully fill out the health form before it is sent to your pediatrician. Many questions on our health form are geared for you to answer. We have also added a new "insurance page" to the health form. Make sure to complete it and attach a copy, front and back, of your insurance card. Beginning this summer the physicians that examine and treat your son, while at camp, will bill your insurance carrier directly. Please make it a point to call your pediatrician today and hopefully avoid a last minute scamble before the start of camp. Any camper whose Health Certificate is not received will not be permitted to travel to camp. In order to fully care for your son, please be sure to accurately answer all questions asked on the certificate. The physician is only obligated to answer the medical questions, it is your obligation to fill out the upper portion of the form, as well as SIGN THE PARENTAL RELEASE LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT PAGE before returning it to the Wildwood office.

Medications Dispensed at Camp:
It is extremely important that ALL MEDICATIONS, VITAMINS, TOPICAL SOLUTIONS, ETC. that will be dispensed by our nurses, are forwarded to camp by June 25th.

In the past, our nurses were inundated with over 75 bags of prescribed medications as our campers arrived. They had to sort and document all those meds for possible dispensing at dinnertime, two hours later. This had to be accomplished at the same time the campers were to receive a lice, ear, nose and throat exam. It took our nursing staff quite a while to organize and document the late arriving medications, therefore Mark, Peter and our staff will not accept any medications at the bus.

Phone Call Policy:
Based on the success of last summer's phone call policy, we will once again implement it this summer. Parents will be permitted to call and speak with their children twice in the first half of the summer and once in the second half. We will ask you to call the camp in June to reserve dates and times of your calls. More specific information will be available in Bulletin #3 coming in March.

Camper Uniform & Clothing List:
The Cloz Company will once again be our exclusive camp outfitter. You can view their new catalogue by clicking here and in January you will be sent a beautiful new catalogue with a detailed list of all the necessary clothing and equipment for the upcoming summer.

Travel to Camp:
All Tri-State area children are meeting at the Mamaroneck High School parking lot on Sunday, June 29th. All buses are scheduled to leave promptly at 9:00 AM. The exact directions for getting to the high school will be sent to you via Bulletin #3, which will be available on-line in March. For the kids living outside the Tri-State area, you will be contacted in May to discuss your travel arrangements. When making airplane reservations, please have your children arrive at the Portland Jetport, between 11 AM and 4 PM on June 29th. Our staff will be there to greet them.

Parents' Visiting Days:
All parents are invited to spend either July 25th or 26th with your son(s) at camp. Parents with siblings at camp are welcome to join us for both visiting days. If you haven't done so already, it is advisable that you secure your travel plans and hotel reservations quickly, because many camps in our neighborhood have the identical visiting weekend. Rooms, cars, and flights become scarce. A list of accommodations can be found in Bulletin # 1. Grandparents and siblings are welcome to spend the day at camp as well. If this weekend is inconvenient, please call us to arrange an alternative date.

Updating Information:
Please inform us of any changes you may have incurred since you filled out the camp application. These changes may include e-mail address, phone numbers (home, work, summer, or cell) or home address. You can call or e-mail us of any changes.

Baggage Information:
CAMP BAGGAGE will pickup and deliver all baggage from campers living on the Eastern Seaboard. Towards the end of February they will send you a packet containing an enrollment form, an information sheet, a FAQ sheet and return envelope. This should facilitate the arrangement for pickup and delivery of your son’s baggage. James Donaldson is the operations director and he can be reached at (561) 748-5185 or you can visit their website: www.campbaggage.com for more information. Please don't call the camp office regarding general baggage information, just call or email CAMP BAGGAGE directly.

If you plan on shipping via UPS, FedEx, or Air Borne you must also plan on a return pickup from camp on August 15th. Please organize your payment as well; Wildwood will not pay for a baggage pick up!

To secure your baggage when shipping via UPS, Fed Ex, or Air Borne you can use plastic ties.

Securing Baggage:
The problem of opening the campers’ baggage once it arrives at Wildwood has always been a problem, one that we need your help to overcome. Past experience with lost keys and incorrect combination locks, compels us to ask that you use plastic ties.

By using these ties to secure the baggage, it will be easier to unpack the camper’s belongings. This is extremely important for all boys because their counselors unpack the baggage, make the beds, and put their clothes on the shelves prior to their arrival. We do this so the boys’ first activity at Wildwood will be a baseball or soccer game, not unpacking. Since many of these boys will be experiencing camp for the first time, we feel this is an excellent way of eliminating some initial homesickness that might have otherwise set in. This system has been successfully working for the last twenty-five years. Thanks !!
