Hunter's Education

Q:I want my camper to take the Hunter's Education Course, how do I sign them up?
A:If you would like to sign your camper up for Hunter's Education, they must be at least 10 years of age and you will sign them up when you drop them off on Check In day. They will only miss a few activities and they'll never have to take the course again if they pass it while at camp.

Q:My Camper already has their Hunter's Education Certification, do they need to provide that information?
A:No, they do not have to provide that information to Camp Woodie. They will need that information when they purchase their hunting license once they're 16 years of age.

Medical

Q:Do I have to get a physician's signature on the medical release form if my camper has had a physical within 12 months of them attending camp?
A:No. You do not have to get a physician's signature if your camper has a physical within 12 months of them attending camp. You'll still need to fill out the medical release form and upload it to your account but you'll just attach their most recent physical in lieu of a physician's signature.

Q:My camper has a food allergy, will your staff accommodate my camper?
A:Yes. Any camper's with food allergies must notify the camp when registering. If special dietary restrictions are in place, please bring replacement meals/snacks for your camper for any meals that they cannot eat. They will be stored in the kitchen and served during regular meal times.
