If I cannot be reached in an emergency, I give my permission to the proper medical staff to hospitalize, secure proper treatment for, and order injection, anesthesia, or surgery for this child. I understand the information on this form will be shared on a “need to know” basis with camp staff. I give permission to photocopy this form.
