# Responding to a camp attendance permission request

> Approve or decline your child's attendance at a camp or excursion, by email or in the mymeddiCAL app — whichever suits you.

> Video tutorial coming soon

## Overview

When your child is enrolled in a camp or excursion, the school sends you a permission request asking you to approve or decline their attendance. You can respond either by email or in the mymeddiCAL mobile app — whichever is easiest — and both stay perfectly in sync.

<Info>
  You only ever need to respond **once**. Approving or declining on one channel is instantly reflected on the other.

## Responding by email

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the email">
    Look for the "Permission Request" email for the camp.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the link">
    This opens a page showing the camp and your child's details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Approve or Decline">
    Click your choice — no login required.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Responding in the app

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the request">
    Tap the bell notification, or open the **Forms** tile on your home screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the request">
    Look for **Camp Attendance Permission** — the camp name and dates are already filled in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve or decline">
    Select **Approve attendance** or **Decline**, then submit.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The in-app version is intentionally simple — just the camp dates and your decision. No extra questions to answer.

## What happens next

Whichever channel you use, the response is recorded immediately and marks the request as done everywhere. If you approve by email, it will also show as **Submitted** in your Forms list in the app — and vice versa.

The school sees your decision straight away on their side, with no need to follow up.
