NCAP Short-Term Camp Administrator Training

Event Details

This course is training for the NCAP short-term camp administrator certification.

A short-term camp is any council-organized overnight camping program, whether one-time or continuing, that is one, two or three nights in length where the council or its agents provide the staffing and may provide program and food services, and includes camps conducted off council properties. National training courses are subject to the short-term camp requirements, regardless of format or duration.

The Short-term camp administrator certification will be valid for 2 years from the course date. 

NOTE - this course is running at the same location as the merit badge academy but it will run longer than the academy sessions.
