ePACT Information
The Des Plaines Park District is proud to announce our adoption of ePACT Network-digital platform for collecting your child’s emergency and medical information-to improve efficiency and reduce our carbon footprint.
ePACT is a secure emergency network that collects medical and emergency contact information electronically. Not only will ePACT replace paper forms, but implementing the network ensures that our staff have a quick way to communicate with families in the event of an illness, injury, or other emergency.

Why are we using ePACT?
- To save you time and energy.
- No more long paper documentation for emergency information. With ePACT, you only need to complete your child’s information once, and then verify that it is still correct for additional programs or subsequent years. If you need to update information quickly, just log in and update it and we’ll be notified immediately.
- Reduction of paper waste
- Using Electronic forms mean less paper printed and photocopies between all of our camp sites. Families can always see what data the organization has by simply logging into ePACT.
- Better privacy and security
- ePACT’s high encryption levels and commitment to security means your data on ePACT is safe and secure. Digital access over paper forms allows you to track and update easily and securely.
