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. Monday-Friday, the nurse is available in a centrally located clinic on the Durham campus and is available through tele-health to programs off campus. The nurse is not at specific camp sites.
The nurse provides the following:
- Triage care in the case of illness or injury
- Pre-planning with families for any health concerns
- Assists program staff and families to determine appropriate medication administration
Food Allergies & Nutrition
If your child has food allergies and/or unique dietary needs, please review the Food Allergies & Nutrition document below.
Information on whether a specific camp is eating meals in the dining hall is indicated on each program/camp's registration page.
If a student is eating meals in the dining hall on the UNH Durham campus and there are questions about food allergies or other nutrition concerns, a UNH Registered Dietitian is available to consult with a parent/guardian to review needs and additional options.
Please reach out to the dietitian at least three weeks prior to the student's arrival. Contact information is in the Food Allergies & Nutrition document.
Dining Hall and Camp Staff do not monitor student food consumption.
If your child is not eating in the dining hall but there are food allergy or nutrition concerns, contact the program/camp director.
