Directions for Uploading Forms

If uploading through CampInTouch: Scan the form as a PDF (no jpegs or tiffs) using an app on your phone (like CamScanner) or a printer/scanner. Login to your account, go to Forms & Documents, and click on the “upload” symbol to the right of the form. Upload the PDF.

If uploading through Campanion (available on the Apple App Store and Google Play): To access mobile forms, navigate to the left side menu in the app and select “Forms.” Once there, you’ll see each form and its due date. You can complete, save, and scan/upload forms directly from the app.

Directions for Faxing Forms

Fax toll-free to the number on the form: 1-866-428-1917. Faxed forms are routed automatically to your online account via the unique barcode that was generated on the form when you downloaded or printed it from your account.

There is no need for a cover sheet due to the barcode on the form, which is unique to your son. The system reads the barcode and routes the form automatically and securely to your son’s account. For siblings, be sure to download EACH individual boy’s forms; don’t make copies of one or scratch out the barcode. If the same form is used for both campers, the second form to be submitted will overwrite the first.

Faxed forms are digitized and we receive an alert that it has been directed to your camper’s account.

Should I email the forms to you? No - upload or fax.

Please do not email or mail forms to us. We request that either families log in and upload the forms online through CampInTouch or the Campanion App, or fax to the number on the forms, because these are the most direct, secure, and accurate ways for the sending and receiving of forms. Uploading forms stores them directly in your camper’s file. Faxing forms routes them directly to you camper’s file via the unique barcode on each form. These two methods also digitize the forms and makes them accessible from any computer, which is crucial during times of emergency.

However, if this presents a challenge and you need assistance, please just let us know!

How do I know if my forms have been received?

Log in to your Pemi CampInTouch account and go to “Forms and Documents.” A properly completed and processed form will be marked as “received,” and the form’s name will change from black to green (overdue forms’ names turn red!). If there is an issue with your submitted form, we will be in touch with you. NOTE: We review each form for accuracy and have close to 2,000 forms coming in for campers and staff, so it might be several days before they’re marked “received”!

In the mobile Campanion App, navigate to the left side menu in the app and select “Forms.” Once there, you’ll see each form and its due date. A properly completed and processed form will be marked as “received,” and automatically be moved under a new heading “Completed Forms.”

Forms for siblings have unique barcodes, so download seperate forms from each camper's account.

Each boy’s forms include a barcode on the lower right that is unique to him. In order to properly identify siblings, be sure to download EACH boy’s forms; don’t make copies of one or scratch out the barcode. If the same form is used for both campers, the second form to be submitted will overwrite the first.

However, please verify that information provided for previous summers—especially on medical conditions—remains current.

This includes liquid, inhaler, nasal spray, a medication patch, or rescue medication such as an epi-pen. We stock over-the-counter medications that provide relief/comfort for the occasional need, and you do not need to enter these.

This will usually be the start and end dates of your child’s Pemi session, but could vary if your child is finishing a course of medication that he started before coming to camp (e.g. an antibiotic for an infection).
• Indicate the mealtime that the medication should be administered. Only if it is medically necessary, and a specific time written on the prescription, will meds be dispensed at a different time of day. If a medication must be given outside of meal times, i.e. “other,” indicate the exact time and reason why in your instructions on the Health History form.
