All emergency forms are submitted through ePACT, our registration system that collects and stores all medical and emergency information electronically.
Directions on how to complete your camper’s ePACT will be emailed along with the camp welcome information.
Just before camp begins, you will receive a welcome email from the Camp Director with the name and contact information for each camp. As part of our ongoing goal to communicate with parents, the Park District has equipped directors with camp cell phones and emails. Peace of mind and the safety of your camper are only a phone call or email away!
