North Star Camp for Boys
Preparing for Camp
In the spring we will have several forms that we need you to fill out. In past years we have sent both posted forms online for you to print and sent hard copies. We are now happy to announce that these forms will be completed and submitted online. There is no need to print off and mail in forms. You can access forms by logging into your Campintouch online account. After you log in, click the "Forms and Documents" link, where you will see a list of forms that are necessary to fill out. We will let you know when forms are necessary to fill out as well as their due dates.
Please note that even though you may have completed these forms in years past, we do need updated information which will help us best meet the needs of your son. If you have any difficulties accessing or completing forms, please let us know so we can help.
