We are dedicated to fostering safe and enriching experiences for children and families at recreational summer camps across our communities. These camps offer invaluable opportunities for youth to learn, grow, and forge lasting friendships in a supportive environment.
Local boards of health prioritize the well-being of campers by enforcing comprehensive rules and regulations governing summer camp operations. Covering areas such as facility standards, health and safety protocols, and program activities, these regulations ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for all participants.
Through collaborative efforts with camp operators, staff members, and families, we promote compliance with these standards through education, training, and regular inspections. The links below serve as a vital resource for navigating the requirements and implementing best practices to uphold the safety and success of summer camps throughout our communities in southern Berkshire.
Together, let’s create memorable summer experiences where children can thrive, explore, and make cherished memories in a secure and nurturing environment.
This year, our public health nurse, Jill Sweet, will be paying particular attention to the vaccination records and medical paperwork/permissions associated with camps. Jill can be contacted at (413) 717 7209 or [email protected].
