Inspections Required

No recreational camp for children shall receive a license to operate in each year until it has been inspected by the Board of Health and found by the Board to meet all the requirements of 105 CMR 430.000. Provided, however, a day camp timely applying for renewal of licensure, pursuant to M.G.L. c. 140, § 32B, may, at the discretion of the Board of Health, be granted a license without prior inspection if: (1) the camp is under the same ownership and directorship as the prior camping season; (2) the camp has had a satisfactory inspection report the prior camping season; (3) the Board of Health determines, based upon the record of the camp, there is no evident risk to the health and safety of the campers; and (4) the camp is subsequently inspected by the Board of Health during the camping season. The Board of Health shall also inspect a recreational camp for children at any time the Board has reason to believe a violation of 105 CMR 430.000 exists, or upon the request or complaint of any person.
