The Youth Camp Safety Project is the principal authority on matters relating to health and safety conditions at youth camps within the state. All youth camps must obtain a license issued by the Department prior to operating. Licensed youth camps are subject to pre-operational inspections (conducted by the local health authority) as well as operational inspections (conducted by the Public Health and Food Protection Program) to determine compliance with the Youth Camp Safety Standards rules.
