Colleges and universities play host to a diverse array of minors on campus, engaging them in academics, enrichment, and athletic programs, many of which are run as summer camps. While the programs run by higher education institutions offer enriching experiences for minors, they also comes with unique health and safety challenges.

Sandy Weaver, Associate Director of Compliance and the Director of Youth Program Compliance, at Penn State University and Michael Ambrose, M.D. founder and CEO of CampDoc wrote an article for the Compliance & Ethics Professional (CEP Magazine), the monthly publication for the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE).

This important article from Sandy Weaver and Dr. Michael Ambrose also details the essential elements of an effective compliance program:

  1. Prevention (policy/standards, oversight, communication/education)
  2. Detection (monitoring, reporting)
  3. Correction (enforcement/discipline, response/prevention)

Key areas of focus include:

  • Awareness and management of allergies
  • Medication administration and oversight
  • Injury prevention in structured and unstructured activities
  • Mental health considerations
  • Navigating behavioral challenges and abuse

For a detailed guide on managing these risks, refer to the full article from CEP Magazine: Recognizing potential health and safety risks for minors on campus.
