GSNWGL requires the recommended childhood immunization schedule to participate in summer camp.
The health and safety of all our campers is a priority at summer camp. To best work with your camper, complete their health profile in our CampDoc system. CampDoc is a secure, easy-to-use online system to manage health forms, immunization information, allergies, medications, and illness/injury tracking for your camper before and throughout camp.
CampDoc will send you an invitation via email in April 2024. You must accept the invitation to complete your camper’s health profile. Failure to do so means you will not get important information from camp. CampDoc profiles must be 100% complete three weeks prior to your camper’s session.
*Camp Nesbit does NOT use CampDocs. Please complete the health forms in the Camp Nesbit Camper Information Packet (available online by May 1).

We continue to follow the guidance of the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Camp Association, and local health experts in managing Girl Scout Camp most safely. Please help us provide a safe and healthy experience for campers, staff, and families by mitigating risk before arriving at camp, limiting the chance of exposure to communicable diseases whenever possible.
Pre-Screening
With your strong partnership, we can keep campers, staff, and families safe and healthy this summer. Girl Scout Camp is an inclusive space open to youth from all backgrounds and abilities. To ensure camp remains a healthy space for all, caregivers must thoroughly screen campers for symptoms or signs of illness before arriving at camp. Any camper experiencing symptoms or illness that could potentially be contagious must stay home. GSNWGL will work with families to find another camp session or offer a refund. Any camper who begins presenting symptoms of an illness at camp must go home. It is the caregiver’s responsibility to ensure campers are healthy before drop-off. Failure to do so will result in staff sending campers home and losing camp fees.
All campers must be up to date on current vaccinations. These vaccination requirements align with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Student Immunization Law.

Screening at Camp
We will continue to screen all campers and staff members for communicable diseases upon arrival to camp and at various times throughout their stay. A parent or caregiver must pick up participants with any signs or symptoms.
After Camp
Campers should be monitored for any signs or symptoms of communicable disease after they return home from camp.
