Accreditation Process Guide "Tweaks"

If you downloaded the interpretations to your APG in the fall and then downloaded the final few changes made in January, then you may have three minor tweaks to make:

  • Please look at p. 104 in your APG. You may need to add the word "primarily" to the HW-9B DNA statement in the side margin, so that it reads: "HW-9B does not apply to day camps that are not primarily serving persons with special medical needs."

  • HW-8A add "Yes" and "No" to the standard on page 102 in the APG if they are missing.

  • The applicability box on p. 269 should read:

    ALL RIDING ACTIVITIES IN AND OUT OF CAMP
    Standards PH-11through PH-17 are applicable to all riding activities (except pony rides), including riding activities provided or staffed by the camp AND those conducted at staffed public facilities.  Accordingly, all camps should score PH-11 through PH-17.

  • The compliance demonstration for PH-10 may be missing in your version of the interpretations.  If so, the Compliance Demonstration for PH-10 should read:  Visitor observation of medication storage; director/staff description of handling procedures.
