UNH and its youth programs are committed to providing a community that is welcoming, inclusive, diverse, and equitable. Our values include civility and mutual respect with minor students and their families, as well as supporting that same respect among our youth participants.
The health and safety of all UNH youth program participants is important to us, and we strive to maintain a healthy environment that promotes safety and enjoyment for all.
Health Care
For summer youth programs, UNH hires a dedicated youth program nurse who is available to all youth program staff, students, and families. There is a summer camp clinic in a central location on the Durham campus, The nurse is also available through tele-health to programs off the Durham campus.
The nurse provides the following:
- Triage care in the case of illness or injury
- Family assistance for health concern pre-planning
- Assists program staff and families to determine appropriate medication administration for all medication a student will take while at the youth program
Food Allergies/Special Nutritional Needs
A UNH dietician is available on the Durham campus if a minor participant requires special food arrangements in the dining hall. Please review the Allergy & Nutrition Information document below for more information. If a student requires specific meal planning, a parent/guardian must contact the dietician at least two weeks prior to arriving on campus.
If the program does not have meals in the dining hall, the family can feel free to speak with the program manager for any food allergy concerns.
