Orinda Parks and Rec will continue our utilization of ePACT Network, a health and safety software to better support our members and make it easier to submit critical data securely! This digital solution allows you to quickly share the health and emergency information we need, and also provides us with powerful communication tools to ensure we have a way to message you in the event of an illness, injury, or larger scale emergency. Why are we using ePACT? 1. To save you time—With ePACT, you only need to complete your child’s information once and update it as needed. 2. Check-in/out will be more efficient with an electronic, contactless process! 3. For better security & privacy—ePACT’s high encryption levels and commitment to security means your data on ePACT is safer than on paper. Additional information, and the initial invitation to complete your account will be emailed 3-6 weeks prior to your child’s first week of camp. You will receive one email invite per child. To avoid duplication, one parent (one email address) should accept the invites and complete the detailed emergency record for ALL campers.
