HIKE! SWIM! PRAISE!      

​We look forward to another great summer of faith-filled fun!  Below is the online registration form, and links to other needed forms to complete the registration process.  In addition to the form below, we will need your camper’s doctor to complete and return the Medical Form and provide the camper's Vaccination Record, as well as agreeing to a payment plan to cover the costs.

Once all of these are complete then your camper will be all registered! You are always welcome to contact the Office of Youth Ministry Director at 315-854-2894 or the Youth Ministry Secretary at 315-393-2920 with any questions or concerns.  Sometimes people have technical issues with the online form.  We know this can be frustrating but just give us a call and we can help.  

How to Register:

Step 1: Fill out the online form below.  If you have any technical issues with the form, simply give us a call.  We can help.  There is a brief medical history section.  We have included the items that we know we need for our nurse, but please use the free-response sections to add other things you want us to know. (Special diet restrictions, uncommon conditions, activity restrictions, etc) The more we know, the better!  And sometimes the doctor doesn’t include things that have happened since their last exam. 

Step 2: Tell us how you are going to pay for camp.  In order to be considered “registered” you will either need to pay at least a $100 deposit today or fill out a financial assistance application.  Some families pay for camp on their own.  Some are sponsored (fully or partially) by parishes or other groups.  Some are granted financial aid through our scholarship program.  We have generous donors who give us a pool of scholarship funds, but we do ask applicants to reach out to their parish or local KoC (or similar group) before we grant funds.  We can help you with that process.  Filling out the application starts the ball rolling!  We never want the cost of camp to get in the way of someone attending!  If you are not seeking financial aid, then you can pay in full, or in installments. 

Step 3: Download and Complete the Medical Form. No one likes forms, but they are a fact of life!  Plus, they help us keep your camper safe and healthy!  The Medical Form B needs to be downloaded and sent to your PCP.  The exam information they provide needs to be within 12 months of their Camp Start Date (e.g. a school/sport/annual physical).  So, if your camper hasn’t had a physical in a while, make sure you schedule that now, so you aren’t scrambling.  We need to receive this form within 1 week of camp so that our nurse can verify everything.  Per New York State Department of Health regulations, camps are required to maintain a current immunization record for each camper, including measles immunity, proof of immunity, or a valid medical exemption. Campers may not attend camp without required documentation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. Make sure to fill out the parent/guardian section before sending it to your doctor.  They/you can either mail it back to us, or scan and email it.  ​

Healthcare Notification Policy
Our healthcare staff will make every effort to contact you by phone, if your child has need for out-of-camp healthcare. Because of timing and scheduling conflicts, we cannot promise that we will be successful in reaching you. In addition to phone contact, we will provide you with a written summary about out-of-camp health care given to your child. We generally do not contact you if your child is seen in the camp health center for routine problems (e.g. skinned knees, sore throat, and headache) that do not require a Healthcare Provider's referral. The decision to consult you for routine, in-camp healthcare is determined on a case by-case basis for our Healthcare Provider. You will typically be notified if your child visits the health center with a repeated complaint, or if your child’s condition does not improve in a reasonable amount of time.

By eSigning my name above, I hereby affirm and certify that I have read and understand the Health Care Notification Policy.

Over-the-counter Medications
Invalid Input

By eSigning my name above, I hereby understand and affirm that I may not send my child to Camp Guggenheim with over the counter medication(s) that my Healthcare Provider has not signed for on the Healthcare Provider's Orders Form. I also understand the dosages will be administered according to the Healthcare Provider's orders. I also understand that Camp Guggenheim staff cannot administer over-the-counter medication even if the healthcare center has it in stock if a child does not have a Healthcare Provider's Order for that medication. I understand that all medication must be given to the Camp Guggenheim medical director and that campers may not keep any medications in their personal belongings (other than emergency medications, such as inhalers and Epi-pens, as per the physician's directions).

Waiver and Release of Liability; Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement

In order for my child to participate in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg’s Summer Camp, I agree as follows:

1. Acknowledgement of Risk. Camper, Parent(s) and/or Legal Guardian(s) acknowledge and fully understand that there are inherent risks of serious injury or death associated with rappelling, hiking, backpacking, biking, swimming, canoeing and other activities associated with the camp experience. These inherent risks include, but are not limited to: encountering natural dangers such as falling rocks or objects, irregular or uneven ground, unseen and unmarked objects, drowning or serious injury in and around water could occur due to water movement, subsurface conditions, cold water temperature, water impurities and the like. Inherent risks also include acts or omissions of other Campers, the condition of equipment or property, even if properly maintained; weather conditions (such as lightening strikes, sunburn, rain or hail storms, tornadoes and the like), contact with plants, animals or insects, the risk of Camper engaging in unauthorized activities, Camper’s physical conditions or Camper’s own acts and omissions, conditions or roads, trails, waterways or terrain, the administration and availability of first aid and emergency treatment and consumption of food or drink by Camper. Camper, Parent(s) and/or Legal Guardian(s) further acknowledge that the inherent risks associated with activities at Summer Camp, including rappelling, hiking, backpacking, biking, swimming and canoeing cannot be comprehensively described as part of this document.

2. Assumption of Risks. Camper, Parent(s) and/or Legal Guardian(s) hereby release, waive and discharge Summer Camp, its employees and agents from liability claims and demands of negligence on the part of Summer Camp, its employees and agents arising in connection with the participation in Summer Camp activities and use of Summer Camp facilities and equipment, including, but not limited to, those risks described in paragraph #1 above; providing, however, that this waiver and release does not include injury, damage, or loss as a result of the gross negligence of Summer Camp, its agents or employees.

3. Indemnification and hold harmless. Camper, Parent(s) and/or Legal Guardian(s) further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Summer Camp, its employees and agents, against all losses, damages, monetary awards and expenses, including all costs and attorneys fees incurred in connection with any and all claims of negligence on the part of Summer Camp, its employees and agents, brought by Camper, Parent(s) and/or Legal Guardian(s), his or her heirs, successors, assigned and legal representatives for any injury, death, illness, disease or damage to property, arising from or connected with participation in any activity of Summer Camp. The indemnification and hold harmless agreement does not include losses, damages, monetary awards and expenses as a result of the intentional or reckless acts of Summer Camp, its employees and agents.

4. Miscellaneous. The parties agree that the provisions of this “Waiver and Release of Liability; Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement” (“Agreement”) shall be deemed severable and that the invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of the provisions of clauses hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions or clauses hereof except as specifically set forth herein. The terms of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties. This Agreement is made pursuant to and shall be construed under the laws of the State of New York.

5. Opportunity to Negotiate. You are encouraged to carefully review the contents of this Agreement and take the time you feel necessary to review it.
