The University of Colorado offers camp medical and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance coverage for a nominal fee. This insurance is secondary to the registered camp participant's primary medical insurance and will serve as a primary insurance if your child had no medical coverage in effect at the time of the injury/illness. For registered camp participants who are injured or become ill during the course of camp activities this secondary coverage MAY provide payment for medical care and reimbursement for prescriptions and transportation costs.

Coverage is limited to injuries sustained because of participation in the camp. Pre-existing injuries and illnesses are typically NOT covered under this policy.

The University of Colorado is exposed to liability resulting from camp activities. The general term "camps" is defined as: "A university sponsored on or off-campus activity where registered participants are provided structured activities with the goal of academic or athletic improvement through learning under CU's direction, but which are not part of the university's main academic and athletic programs. Camp duration may be one day to several weeks, and may include overnight stay."

Excluded Activities:

  • field trips as part of CU coursework
  • field trips to a CU campus
  • conferences and seminars
  • third party camps not sponsored by CU
  • CU employees conducting camps for personal gain are considered third parties and are subject to the same requirements and exclusions as any other third party who uses university facilities, CU employees conducting camps for personal gain are excluded from CU insurance coverage and liability protection

Camps may be co-sponsored by CU and a non-CU entity. Sponsoring entities should refer to the Administrative Policy Statement.
