It’s that time of year when many departments across campus are planning summer camps and other programming for middle and high schoolers. There is a lot to think about when hosting minors on campus, including how to mitigate risk, ensure compliance with legal and insurance requirements, and, most importantly, provide a positive experience for participants. If you are planning an event involving minors on campus, please review carefully the resources provided by the office of Risk and Insurance found here. Also, make sure to submit a youth program or camp request form well in advance of the planned event or camp.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Risk and Insurance Office at durisk@drake.edu.
