Whether you are a seasoned camp parent or a parent considering sending your child to camp for the first time, we hope that the information in the Parent Handbook answers all your questions. Also, to help prepare your child for camp, here's a packing list. Additionally, Dogwood Acres offers scholarships for families in need. Interested families should complete and return their scholarship application as soon as possible.

Please bring the following forms with you to registration when you check-in the first day of camp at Dogwood Acres:

MEDICAL FORM - Please Note: The Medical Form has been updated.

1. A doctor's physical is no longer required; the parent/guardian attests to the camper's fitness for camp and provides additional information.
2. The Medical Form is good for one (1) year.
3. Emphasis on having the form notarized:

• A parent or legal guardian's signature is required on the Medical Form and MUST be witnessed and duly acknowledged by a Notary Public.  Notaries are commonly available, free-of-charge, in banks, hospitals, public schools, colleges, many workplaces, and your doctor's office.
• A Notary Public will also be available at Dogwood Acres during sign-in at no charge, though that may put the camper in a slower-moving line.  To have the form notarized at Dogwood Acres, a parent or legal guardian must accompany his/her camper(s) and must show a photo ID.
