Online Registration-New This Year-Details Below
Greetings from Camp Harkness 2024!
We are looking forward to the upcoming summer months and embarking on our 26th camping season.
Again, we have adopted a new online registration process that will ensure the health and safety of all campers.
The software we are using is easy to navigate and HIPPA compliant, so your information is kept secure.
Before you register, please review the procedures below and upload the appropriate forms along with the application.
Skills and Behavior Checklist: This form is required to be completed and submitted with the camp application. The information provided on these forms will be used to screen campers’ needs and ability levels to ensure that this camper will be safe in our camping program.
Supporting Documents from DDS Individual Plan: These forms are required to be copied and submitted for each camper to supplement the full camp packet. These forms will be required for all Agency Supported & Community Companion Home individuals. We will also expect individuals who attend day or respite programs but who live independently or with families to submit these forms. These forms need to be submitted with the application.
-
DDS Emergency Individual Fact Sheet
-
LON (Level of Need Assessment)
-
All Guidelines (submit copies of ALL protocols: dining, mobility, safety, etc.)
-
Fall Risk Screen Form (from Nursing Protocol NP 11-1, Attachment A and D.)
-
Behavior Support Plan
Medical Forms and Consents: After an initial review of applications, The Arc will request a physician complete and sign the medical forms for the Camper. There will also be a consent form that the Camper’s legal guardian must sign prior to attendance. It is important for a camper’s doctor and guardian to be aware of the physical camp environment and level of care provided by camp staff. This information will help us know how to safely support the camper during his/her stay at camp.
The information provided on the above documents will be used to screen individuals during the registration process. Campers will officially be accepted only after all required forms are submitted and reviewed to ensure an appropriate match.
Please submit these forms in a timely manner to secure the camper’s spot in the 2024 program.
Click the button to be taken to our registration portal. If you are new to The Arc at Camp Harkness, please make a new account to get started. If you have camped with The Arc before, your login information will be mailed to the last address we have on file.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at CampHarkness@thearcect.org.
