Medical Forms & Waivers

We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable camping experience for all of our campers. A full time health supervisor and nurse are available at all times, and a certified lifeguard is present during swimming activities. Our infirmary is supplied with all standard OTC medications. Prescription medications should be sent in their original packaging with instructions for the nurse who will administer them at the prescribed dosage times.

Cell Phone Policy
Camp Northfield has a ‘no-screen’ policy. This includes cellphones. We believe that Camp has been used to affect so many lives over the years partly because we have encouraged our campers and staff to be “set apart” for the time they are here. Your child’s counselor is happy to hang on to your child’s cellphone while they are here, however, we strongly encourage them to be left at home. If at any point your child is feeling like they really need to make a phone call home, we are happy to help them do so before bed time in the evening. If you need to contact your child, you can call the Camp office at any time and we will happily facilitate communication. We are blessed each year to see our camper’s hearts and lives changed as they take the opportunity to “be still, and know that He is God.” (Psalm 46:10)
