What to Bring
Forms
Part of our registration process includes a mandatory medical information section that is required from all campers. In addition to this, we are required by NH State law to collect the following documents, all of which may or may not be required based on your child’s needs.
DOCTOR’S PHYSICAL FORM (Required for all campers)
May be signed by any licensed physician, physician assistant, or a nurse practitioner. You are not required to use our form, this is just for your convenience.
Immunization Records (Required for all campers)
This will often be included in the physical; however, if not, it must be provided.
Medication Administration Form
If your child will be bringing any medications, please complete this form.
Inhaler/Epi-Pen Form
If your child will be bringing an Epi-Pen or an Inhaler, please complete this form.
Religious Exemption Form
If your child is not immunized for religious reasons, please complete this form.
Important Note: The best way to get your forms back to us and to help us run a quick and easy check-in day is to upload all required forms to your online account. You may access your account by following this link, where you should see an option to do this. Please call us if you have trouble accessing this, we would be happy to help.

FAQ’s
What is your cell phone policy for campers?
We think camp is much better all around without the use of cell phones. We do not allow campers to bring the following items to Camp: cell phones, tablets, computers, smart watches, or gaming consoles. In emergency situations, campers may contact home (and parents may contact campers) through our office phone. Parents can also write letters or emails to their campers, which are delivered every day at lunch. If you’d like to send an email to your camper, send it to youth@campspofford.org. For our full policy, click here.
Do you provide meal options for those with food allergies?
We absolutely do. Part of the registration process is learning which of our campers have allergies. Our food service team will create allergen-free options for those with specific food allergies or sensitivities.
Can I send my camper a letter or package while they’re at Camp Spofford?
Absolutely! You can just leave a letter or package with us at check-in, and we will give it to your camper any day you’d like that week. You can also email us at youth@campspofford.org and we will print those and hand them out to your camper at lunch every day.
Does my family/camper need to be religious to attend Camp Spofford?
Not at all! While we are a Christian camp who integrates chapel services, prayer, and devotionals into our programming, we serve campers from many different faith and non-faith backgrounds.
Will my child be able to room with their friends?
Most likely. We try to accommodate as many cabin requests as we reasonably can. We break cabins down by age, so as long as friends are close to each other in age we will be able to put them in the same cabin. When registering, be sure to fill out the Roommate Request section on the Youth Camper Form to tell us who you’d like your child to be paired with.
Do I need to pay anything to reserve my child’s spot for camp?
Yes! We require a deposit when you register your child. The deposit for Youth Camp (Overnight and Day Only) is $100 per child, per week. For Voyagers, the deposit is $50 per camper, per week. The deposit for Aftershock is $250 per child.
I’ve already paid my deposit, but my child can no longer attend. What’s your cancellation policy?
All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Any payments made in excess of the deposit may be refunded.
