Schools are inspected once a year. Summer camps are inspected twice a year to ensure a safe and healthy place for children. One inspection is done when the camp is getting its permit to operate and another is done when the camp is in operation.
Children in school and camps are in close contact with a large number of other children. It is easier for young children to get communicable illnesses and these illnesses are easily spread when children are in close contact with each other. Good sanitation is important to ensure a place that is as safe and healthy as possible.
