Summer camps in Idaho: state rules
Idaho doesn't publish a statewide camp list, so we have no camp listings here yet. This page explains the state's camp rule and links to the official sources.
Idaho camp rules
No statewide camp license. Idaho has no youth camp license. Overnight children's camps where no child stays 9 or more consecutive weeks a year are exempt from children's residential care licensing (Idaho Code §39-1206), and day camps that run less than 12 weeks a year or no more than once a week are exempt from daycare licensing (Idaho Code §39-1103). A day program for 7 or more children that runs longer may need a daycare license.

Camp not listed?
If you run a camp in Idaho that isn't here, send us its details. It's free. A person at BackPR reviews every submission before anything is published, and not every camp gets listed.
