No, it is not necessary for your camper's physician to sign the Cornell form, as long as you can submit the completed form along with a recent physical signed by the doctor. The physical must have been within a year of the last day of camp. Please note, a physicians signature is required if your camper is required to take medications while attending camp (information in the box on the Medical Form).

Required medications should be listed on medical forms prior to check in. New York State laws health department laws require that we hold onto all medications for the length of camp. At check in we will take down the name of the camper, the times and dosage for each medication. Medications will be handled by the Camp Medical Director and returned at the end of camp. Parents/guardians are responsible for picking up medications at check-out on the last day of camp.

Cornell Camps & Clinics has qualified, round-the-clock, medical personnel on-hand throughout the duration of camp. During camp sessions, the Medical Director handles all medical emergencies. Cornell's Gannett Health Center and Cayuga Medical Center are in close proximity to camp, should a camper need to be transported. In the event of a medical emergency, the parent/guardian listed on the medical forms will be contacted immediately by the Medical Director.
