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/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.
