Required Camp Policies and Documents Guidance
This eBook is a helpful guide for camp operators to write and develop policies that meet minimum standards required by the Licensing Rules of Children's camps and Adult Foster Care Camps and statutes. It is required that the written materials (policies, documents, and forms) be reviewed prior to issuance of your license. This eBook lists the written policies required by administrative rule and statute.
In addition to the required written policies, camp operators are required to develop, maintain, and secure completed forms and documents. A list of the forms and documents that are required by administrative rule and statute are also included in this eBook.
It is the responsibility of each camp organization to have their policies, procedures, and program statements in an organized, clear, and accessible manner. The administrative rules require the policies, procedures, program statements, and plans are available for review by the public. The documents and forms developed, maintained, and secured need to be easily available for review by your licensing consultant.
