Feb. 26, 2003 – Summer Camp Mass Consultations will be held in March for persons expecting to host summer camps.
Presented annually by the office of child care, regulatory and volunteer services of the V.I. Human Services Department, the sessions will present the necessary requirements for operating summer camp programs.
A St. Croix consultation is set for Wednesday, March 12, at the District Court Building in Christiansted. A St. Thomas session will take place Thursday, March 13, at the Curriculum Center in Anna's Retreat. The hours of both sessions are 8:30 a.m. to noon.
As a means of insuring that summer camp programs are run safely, said a release, the following topics are being covered: fire safety, sanitation, nutrition, immunization requirements for attendees, water safety, first aid and CPR, emergency procedures, and the general qualifications for directors and staff.
Representatives from the Planning and Natural Resources Department, the Fire Department and the Sanitation Division, all of whom will inspect any potential site, will address requirements of a building and premises that would house a summer camp.
