Summer camps in South Carolina: state rules
South Carolina 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.
South Carolina camp rules
No statewide camp license. South Carolina has no youth camp license: the former state health regulation for camps (Reg. 61-39) was repealed in 2016. Summer resident (overnight) camps are exempt from child care licensing, and school vacation day camps are exempt only if they run in sessions under 3 weeks and don't let children enroll in back-to-back sessions totaling more than 3 weeks; other day camps fall under DSS child care licensing (S.C. Code §63-13-20(4)(e)–(f)).
Official sources: S.C. Code §63-13-20 (definitions and exclusions) · S.C. Code Regs. 61-39 Camps (repealed 2016), in Chapter 61-18 to 61-58.17
