Camps, like a small community, have their own environmental concerns and safety problems. Improper placement of recreational vehicles and incorrect utility connections on those vehicles or inadequate environmental controls can contribute to the spread of communicable diseases and/or cause injuries.
The goal of the SCPH Recreation Inspection Program is to reduce the potential for the spread of communicable diseases and/or injuries and assure that recreational parks and camps are maintained in compliance with applicable laws and rules through inspections of parks/camps and education of operators. The sanitarians at SCPH are here to help you. We can offer guidance and information to help you stay stafe and follow all applicable rules and regulations. For more information:
