The New Jersey Department of Health (DOH), Public Health and Food Protection Program, Youth Camp Safety Project is the principal authority on matters relating to health and safety conditions at summer youth camps within the state. All summer youth camps must obtain a license issued by the DOH prior to operating. Licensed summer youth camps are subject to pre-operational inspections (conducted by the local health authority) as well as operational inspections (conducted by the state DOH) to determine compliance with the Youth Camp Safety Standards rules.

What is a preoperational inspection?

Preoperational inspections are conducted by the local health department within the jurisdiction where the camp is located.  These inspections generally encompass a review of policies and procedures, records, anticipated itinerary of camper activities, facility layout and other aspects of the code that can be reviewed prior to the arrival of children. Preoperational inspections should occur prior to the camp opening for business. Although the DOH provides a list of operating camps to the local health department a month after the license renewal period has passed, it is the responsibility of the camp operator to contact the local health department and schedule a preoperational inspection prior to beginning operations. Click here for the directory of local health departments. 


What is an operational inspection?

An operational inspection is conducted by the New Jersey Department of Health, Public Health and Food Protection Program staff. Operational inspections are designed to ensure in-session camp operations are conducted in a safe manner and adherence to staff child ratios, documented policies and procedures, background checks and similar aspects are followed during routine operations. Operational inspections are conducted on-site and are unannounced.
