We are excited to introduce Healthforms.Io, a streamlined solution for submitting and managing your medical documents for Ten Mile River Scout Camps. This innovative platform allows campers to conveniently submit their required medical forms in advance, ensuring a smooth and efficient check-in process upon arrival. Healthforms.Io not only simplifies pre-camp preparations but also enables units to easily access and manage these documents even after camp is over.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why did the health form change in 2024?
A: In April 2024, the Sullivan County Local Board of Health Public Health issued Order No. 1 – 2024 Children’s Camps which changed the vaccination requirements for all Summer Camp programs operating in the region. This order included additional vaccination documentation requirements for all youth campers. It also set a requirement that no camp will permit a camper to attend unless this documentation has been provided. It also defined that only medical exemptions will be permitted.
Q: What is the difference between the 2023 and 2024 medical form?
A: The 2024 TMR Medical Form has been updated to highlight the new required vaccinations per Order No. 1 – 2024 and the rules now governing obtaining medical exemptions. There is one new additional document; the Sunscreen and Bug Spray Permission Form. This document is required for all campers.
Q: What if I already filled out the original TMR Medical Form?
A: We can still accept the previous medical form provided that the required vaccination documentation is also provided and that the Sunscreen and Bug Spray Permission Form is also attached.
Q: Do adult participants need to have vaccination documentation as well?
A: Adults only require documentation for Tetanus vaccination. This is a national requirement for all scout camps and must have been received within the last 10 years. Otherwise, adult program participants do not need to provide vaccination documentation on their medical form.
Q: How do I request a medical exemption for vaccinations?
A: Please provide a signed letter from a healthcare provider requesting exemption from the vaccination.
Q: How do I request a religious or personal exemption for vaccinations?
A: We are not permitted to issue exemption for religious or personal reasons.
Q: I cannot attend camp due to the new vaccination requirement. How do I cancel my registration?
A: Please contact us at supportdesk@nycscouting.org.
Q: What is HealthForms.Io?
A: For 2024, TMR will allow units to upload their medical records prior to camp via HealthForms.Io Invitations to participate were sent out to all registered campers and unit leaders who had provided email addresses. The benefit to this system is it will allow us to securely receive medical records prior to attendance at camp, allowing our staff to review and catch potential issues before the campers arrive. This will also help us with our check-in process as well.
An additional benefit is that registration contacts will be able to track the upload progress for their unit. An invitation for an administrative account will be sent to all registration contacts.
Q: Do we need to use HealthForms.Io?
A: It is optional. Units can still provide the physical medical records during check in, however it is critical that units carefully check that all required records are in place per Order No. 1 – 2024. Campers who do not have all of the required vaccinations recorded will not be permitted to stay.
Q: I am having trouble accessing my HealthForms.Io account. Can someone help?
A: Please contact us at supportdesk@nycscouting.org.
