I will immediately notify the camp if my child has been exposed to any contagious diseases, lice, or bed bugs prior to the start of camp.
I will immediately notify the camp of any changes in my child’s health since their registration.

Camp YMCA Kanawana reserves the right to remove a camper from a program if their behaviour puts them or others at risk of physical or emotional harm. Should a child be sent home for any reason, it is the parent or legal guardian’s responsibility to pick them up within a reasonable amount of time.
My child/children and I acknowledge that we are responsible for learning and following the safety measures and other regulations established by YMCA staff at all times.

In the event of an accident, injury or illness involving my child, while it is impossible for the YMCA to make immediate contact with a parent/guardian, I authorize and grant permission to YMCA staff to secure proper medical treatment and authorize them to act on my behalf in all procedures, including admission to an emergency unit, hospital and related treatments, such as X-rays, other tests and treatment, injections, anesthesia and/or surgery, as deemed necessary by the attending medical professional(s). I consent to not holding the YMCAs of Québec responsible for any costs or injury arising out of an emergency situation.
In case of a serious emergency during a back-country trip where an evacuation by plane or helicopter is required to ensure my child’s safety and health, I understand that a third-party organization, AirMedic, will be responsible for evacuating my child.
