Exceptions to Vaccine Requirements

Medical exceptions to vaccine requirements are permitted at all locations. Families must submit documentation from an appropriate healthcare provider at the time they complete their CampDoc health profile. The healthcare provider cannot be an immediate family member.

Religious exceptions to vaccine requirements are permitted at all locations except for those in New York and California. Families claiming a religious exception to one or more vaccine requirements to attend sites in other states must submit an attestation with their CampDoc health profile.

As long as the exception falls within our guidelines and appropriate documentation is provided, it is permitted. CTY staff will contact you only if there is a problem with the documentation (e.g., missing signature, religious exception submitted at location where they are not permitted).

Note: Students who, for any reason, have not received one or more vaccines may be subject to special provisions based on standards and guidance in effect at the time of the course.
