We have several forms that have been approved by the Commission to help us provide better care for your child this summer. Here is a checklist to help you:
1. Camp Agreement and Release Form
This gives our staff basic information about your child and gives permission for your child to participate in the camp. This form is required.
2. Concussion Form
This form is required by the State of Michigan. It must be turned in with the other forms prior to the start of camp. This form is required.
3. Medication Administration Policy and Permission Form
This policy, adopted by the Commission in February, 2011, describes the conditions under which your child can receive medication during camp hours. The form is only needed if your child needs to take ANY medication during camp hours (either over-the-counter or prescription and includes inhalers, epi pens, etc.). One form must be filled out for each medication. Please note: part of this form must be filled out by your physician.
- Every child must have all required camp forms completed and submitted before they can be registered for camp.
- Paperwork only needs to be submitted once for the entire summer.
- Camp forms must be dropped off (4640 Walnut Lake Rd.), emailed (camps@wbparks.org) or faxed (248.738.2529).

Financial Aid Program
The Financial Aid Program is designed to assist West Bloomfield families in a financial way by subsidizing the cost of up to two programs and a maximum of $200 per child, per year; on a first-come, first-serve basis. In January, the Commission approves an annual amount of money as matching funds for this program.
