Each short-term camp must have a short-term camp administrator. This person is responsible for ensuring that the planned camp complies with the NCAP Short-term Camp Standards.  This means walking the property to ensure that it is appropriate for the event; ensuring that paperwork is filed and any written Scouting America approvals are completed and obtained through the council; confirms facilities and program are safe and in good order before starting operation; and that appropriate health, safety and sanitation provisions are made.  This individual also ensures that all activities at the short-term camp comply with the applicable National Camp Standards.

Pre-Qualifications:  The short-term camp administrator must be a registered Scouter who holds either a current National Camping School short-term camp administrator certification issued by Scouting America or holds a resident camp director certificate from National Camping School. Refer to NCAP Standard SQ-403.

Each short-term camp is administered by a short-term camp administrator. This National Camping School course may be conducted at the council level with host site approval or participants can participate in National Council facilitated courses.

Councils should determine if they intend to host the course locally with national approval or utilize one of the nationally facilitated courses.

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

We will provide lunch and snacks during the day.
