Important Documents
Saranac
2008 Scoop Sheet
This document contains important information about departure details,
camp policies, and what to bring. Make sure your parents post it on your refrigerator
while you are at camp.
Photo Consent Form
This form must be signed by both you and one of your parents. Please be sure to submit it with your health form.
Health
Form
This very important form must be completed by your parents (or a physician) and
returned to your Asian Young Life leader as soon as possible, but
most definitely before July 25. Please note that your parents must
provide your health insurance information, and that both you AND one
of your parents must sign on the back of the form. Please also note
that you do NOT have to provide proof of a physical examination from
a doctor; your mom or dad may complete this information instead. All
immunization information MUST be completed. Do NOT simply write "up
to date." You will not be allowed to attend camp unless this health
form is fully and accurately completed. Please give it your highest
priority. When you have completed the form, please contact the Asian
Young Life office and one of our leaders will pick it up.

The camp office is open everyday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. If your parents wish to speak with you or to contact the camp for
any reason, please have them call the camp phone number and speak
with the receptionist.
If your parents call the camp after hours, they will
have the opportunity to leave a message on the office answering
machine. In EMERGENCY situations, your parents should listen to the
recorded announcement; the message will direct them to the phone
number of the on-call person assigned to handle emergencies for that
particular evening. A licensed medical physician and an EMT live on the camp premises
and are available 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency.

674-7966 after 5:00 PM on Saturday, August 10, to listen to a
recording giving a more specific estimated arrival time.
Camp Policies
- Electronic accessories (like the iPod, PSP, Gameboy, MP3 players, CD players, etc.) are NOT permitted
at camp. There are no locks on cabin doors, so these things
can be easily stolen, thus ruining what otherwise would have been
a good week for you. We STRONGLY advise you to leave these items
at home. If you do bring electronic items like these on the bus,
they will be collected on arrival at camp and stored in the camp
safe for the duration of the week. Of course, all items will be
returned to you when we depart camp. Just be sure to mark your name on each electronic item.
- Cell phones are NOT permitted at camp. We realize that your parents may wish to contact you on your cell phone, but please understand that the camp is remotely isolated in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State, so as a result very few cell phones actually work at camp. Any cell phone brought on the bus will be collected on arrival at camp and stored in the camp safe for the duration of the week. If your parents wish to contact you, they should call the camp office at (518) 891-3010 and have you paged. If you wish to call home, it is strongly advised that you purchase a telephone calling card before you leave for camp. There are numerous pay phones at camp which you may use.
- Absolutely no alcohol or illegal drugs are permitted.
If you bring any such items to camp, your parents will be notified
and required to pick you up at camp and take you home immediately.
T-Shirts
You will be given a free Asian Young Life T-shirt on the bus ride
up to camp. We kindly ask you to wear your shirt on arrival to camp
and during the first evening at camp.
