Health Forms
Sidwell Summer welcomes all families interested in our programs; however, we recognize that some children require more support than we are able to provide.

Sidwell Summer’s Sunscreen Policy: All campers should bring their own sunscreen labeled with their name for all programs; even indoor-based programs spend some time outside during the day. We offer reminders to re-apply sunscreen over the course of the day and prior to any water play activities. Please make certain that sunscreen has been applied to your child before dropping off each day. We do not directly apply sunscreen to campers; however, we will supervise application.
Sunscreen Authorization (Bethesda Campus) - Complete this form if you plan to send your child to camp with sunscreen. The form should be sent along with any sunscreen being brought to camp.
All forms must be submitted to Sidwell Summer via your account in CampBrain. Please DO NOT email forms directly to us.
