How to plan for summer youth programs and camps

As departments and academic programs start to plan for possible summer youth programs, including camps, we are providing some tools to facilitate review of your planned activity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. All programs and campus must complete this process. The first step is to complete an online program description form aimed at collecting key information about the program and planned health and safety protocols.

This will prompt a review by appropriate individuals, including the Department of Environmental Health & Safety. This review will also help ensure that things like custodial and food service support are available, as these services require additional planning in light of COVID-19 protocols. Program sponsors can begin publicizing the program after this review is complete.

As with all things related to the pandemic, it is important to keep in mind that all youth programs and events are subject to change or cancellation if conditions change.
