UAB Summer Camps

All programs are required to register with UAB’s Youth Protection Office. Registration includes UAB hosted or sponsored camps as well as camps using UAB facilities (such as coach run camps). Once a summer program or camp is registered with UAB’s Youth Protection Office, it does not need to register as an event.
