According to Ohio Administrative Code 3701-25-01(C); A day camp means a facility which is primarily used for the purpose of camping, indoor or outdoor activities, and exist on any track of land together with any buildings or structures pertinent to its use, but does not require overnight residence. Franklin County Public Health permits and inspects day camps in the jurisdiction of the Franklin County General Health District. The day camps in our area generally operate during the summer months to accommodate school children during the summer break. The day camp permit is valid from January 1 to December 31 of each year.
We typically inspect the day camps beginning in June and continue with a monthly inspection through August. At any time, we may reinspect to ensure that any violations have been corrected. When we inspect a day camp, we look for:
- The water supply is safe and sanitary;
- Proper collection and disposal of sewage;
- Toilet facilities are maintained, clean and sanitary;
- Handwashing and shower facilities are maintained, clean and sanitary;
- Trash and solid waste is properly stored and disposed;
- Insects, rodents, pests and noxious plants are controlled;
- Pets and other animals are properly managed;
- General safety measures are maintained;
- The grounds and buildings are maintained.
