The purpose of this article is to promote, protect and safeguard the
health and well-being of the youth of the state attending day and resident
youth camps as provided for in N.J.A.C. 26:12-1 et seq.
"Youth camp" means any parcel or parcels of land having the general
characteristics and features of a camp as the term is generally understood,
used wholly or in part for recreational or educational purposes that accommodates
five or more children under 18 years of age, other than counselors or lifeguards,
for a period of, or portions of, two days or more and includes a site that
is operated as a day camp or as a resident camp. The term "youth camp" does
not include a day program which offers only a minimal recreational component
if the recreational component included in the day program involves no hazardous
recreational activity such as (but not limited) to aquatics, archery, horseback
riding and riflery.
New Providence youth camps shall be operated in accordance with the
code and regulations that are found in N.J.A.C. 8:25-1 et seq. and as from
time to time amended.
