  • Programs may require licensing by the Concord Board of Health as Recreational Camps for children under State Regulations.

    Programs may require licensing as recreational camps for children under state regulations, 105 CMR 430.000: Minimum Standards for Recreational Camps for Children.

    According to these regulations, a program qualifies as a Sports Camp if it operates for two or more hours per day with a primary focus on one or more sports activities and meets the definition of a day or residential camp for children.  A Day Camp means a program which: (1) operates on a site for more than two hours but less than 24 hours a day; (2) operates for at least five days during a two week period; and (3) meets the definition of a recreational camp for children.

    If these sports programs operate for more than two hours a day and for at least five days in a two week period OR if they advertise themselves as a camp, they must be licensed as a recreational camp for children.  Programs that operate for less than two hours a day and/or for less than five days in a two week period may be exempt from licensure.

    When we become aware of these types of programs, we ask operators to provide information about their programs so we can make a determination whether the program should be licensed as a camp or can be issued an exemption letter.

    Please contact the Concord Board of Health to determine your camp status.
