Apart from the registration for camp, we must have valid CH205 Health Forms for all Summer Camp attendees prior to their first day of camp. This form must have an exam date of no more than one year prior.
-
How do I submit my child’s health form?
You can easily upload the completed CH205 Health Form here.
You may also bring the completed health form with you on your first day of camp. Please prepare for an additional 15 minutes during check-in for us to double-check the forms. Please note that if your form is incomplete or not recent, your child will not be allowed to check into camp until you have submitted an updated form.
What if I can’t get a doctor’s appointment before the first day of camp?
It is required by the Department of Health to have a health form on file for every child attending camp.
How do I know if my health form is current?
Forms must be dated within a year of the week your camper is attending camp. For example, if you want to attend the week of July 7, 2025, your health form must be dated after July 13th, 2024.
Do I have to use this specific health form?
You may ONLY use a form other than the CH205 health form as long as it includes the following information and is signed by a doctor with an exam date of no more than one year prior to the date:
● Weight, Height, Blood, Pressure, Body Mass Index
● Vision, Hearing & Dental Screening
● Medical History, Nutritional Evaluation, Developmental Assessment
● Dates of Immunizations against diphtheria, measles, mumps, poliomyelitis, rubella, and tetanus
Can I use the same form I use for school?
If the health form is current and includes all of the required information mentioned above, you may use the same from your school.
What if we are not from NYC/USA?
We are required by DOH to have an updated health form for every child. As long as the form is current and includes all of the required information, you are welcome to use your state’s/country’s health form.

We have a Health Director trained in first aid and responding to emergencies on-site daily. In addition, we have staff that is First Aid, AED, and CPR certified. We'll also be in touch with families immediately in case there is a medical condition we need to address. All of our staff receive rigorous safety training and understand our safety plan thoroughly.

We strive to accommodate early pick-ups whenever possible; however, certain times of the day may result in delays. For example, from 1:00–2:30 PM, all campers will be outdoors at a local park, making pick-up arrangements more challenging. Additionally, 2:30–3:00 PM is a busy transition period as we prepare for dismissal, which may also lead to longer wait times. For the smoothest experience, we recommend scheduling early pick-ups outside of these time frames.. our team know that morning or you can always email DUMBOcamp@splatlab.com and we'll make sure your splat kid is ready to be picked up at the time you designate. Please note, campers will be outdoors at

We strive to provide a welcoming, affirming, and inclusive environment for all campers! The culture, abilities, and gender identity of campers and staff is celebrated and affirmed as a camp principle. Please feel free to let us know if your camper has any special needs, desires, or struggles that we can help support. Our staff is a diverse mix of cultures, gender identities, and abilities so that youth can have role models from all walks of life.
