Please complete and sign all 3 pages of the document. Signatures from parent/guardian and students are required.
You can complete them and return them to Lisa Kelley the following ways:
1. Scan and email to LisaK@mirasmart.com
2. Drop off or use snail mail to Lisa Kelley's house: 1124 Hollyberry Drive, Ballwin MO 63021

Medical:
Please turn in any medication that is not to be self-administered at Thursday morning check-in. For safety reasons, all medication must be in its original container in a Ziploc bag marked with the student’s name. We will have a camp nurse with us at all times. St. John’s Hospital in Washington, MO is 15 minutes away in case of emergencies.
Conduct:
Remember that we are guests at Camp Woodland Hills and that you represent not only yourself, but also the band, the school, and the community of Parkway South. The school code of conduct applies while at camp. Parkway is a smoke free school district and smoking is not allowed at camp. No drugs or alcohol of any kind will be allowed. Camp Woodland Hills is a private, church owned site. Their organization strongly enforces these rules.
