ePACT Information
What is ePACT Network?
The Winfield Park District utilizes ePACT Network, an online system to obtain emergency information for all day camp participants. ePACT will collect emergency information that is securely stored and accessible electronically. This system replaces paper emergency forms and allows park district staff to communicate with parents in the event of illness, injury, or information that needs to be distributed quickly, such as a change of camp site location due to weather.
How do you submit information to ePACT?
The parent/guardian listed as the main contact will receive an email after registering for camp with directions and a link to complete forms through ePACT Network. The ePACT information that is required includes: individuals authorized to pick up, emergency contacts, medical information, day camp waivers, etc. ePACT information must be completed prior to your camper’s first day. If not completed prior to your child first day of school, your child will not be able to attend. Complete all ePACT information on a laptop/tablet.
