The NYC City Department Health & Mental Hygiene requires that camp operators employ staff who are properly trained and possess valid certifications for the appropriate First Aid and CPR courses for their respective titles (i.e. Health Director, Aquatics Director, etc.) prior to receiving a permit to operate.
A permit can be denied or revoked, resulting in a closure of your camp and/or being fined, if:
- All certificates are not on-site and readily accessible during your camp’s inspection.
- Trainings or certifications are discovered to be falsified, unapproved, or invalid.
In addition, Subpart 7-2 of the State Sanitary Code requires the health director, other staff specified in section 7-2.8, and certain camp trip and activity leaders1 to possess valid certification in a course accepted by the Department as being equivalent to or exceeding course standards specified in Section 7-2.2(m). First Aid certifications are valid for the time period specified by the provider, but may not exceed three years from the date of course completion.
