2020 General Camp Information
Parent Information
Parent letters will be mailed approximately three weeks to one month before the start of camp. The letter will include site details and calendar
of events.
Financial Assistance and Payment Plans
Financial assistance is open to NSSRA residents who complete an NSSRA Reduced Fee Request Form and submit a $125 deposit with their
registration. To receive a Reduced Fee Request Form or to request a payment plan, please contact NSSRA Registrar Jeanne Cook at
(847) 509-9400 x6815 or [email protected].
Communication & Safety
Families are required to have a current Annual Information Form (AIF) and, if applicable, a Seizure Information Form (SIF) on file with NSSRA
prior to participation in any camp or program. Please contact NSSRA to discuss specific accommodations for your camper. Communication books
will be used daily for each camper to help facilitate communication between families and staff. Communication books will be available at the
open house or sent home on the first day.
What to Wear and Bring to Camp
Please send campers in comfortable clothes and gym shoes each day. On swim days, campers should bring a labeled swimsuit and towel.
Campers should also bring a labeled backpack, change of clothes and sunscreen each day.
Lunch, Snacks and Drinks
Parents are responsible for sending a labeled lunch and/or snack and drink each day.
Annual Information Form (AIF)
To better serve you and your child’s needs, it is necessary for us to have a current AIF on file. This form contains medical and other information
that NSSRA needs to know in case of an emergency. If we do not have your AIF on file, your child will not be allowed to participate.
Seizure Information Form (SIF)
If a participant has a seizure disorder, a SIF must be completed and signed before he or she is allowed to register for any NSSRA programs. The
SIF can be found on our website at www.nssra.org/forms. Complete each category and list any other information necessary for NSSRA to provide
safe and enjoyable activities for the participant. Please update this form whenever there is a change in the information and submit it to NSSRA
with the registration form. You will be asked to review and update this form on an annual basis.
