Summer Camps Program
Introduction
The Camps Program works similarly to a Tenants’ and Users’ Liability Insurance Policy (TULIP), also known as "Events Coverage." Institutions that permit "third parties" to use their facilities for camps and sports clinics may refer those Camps to it so that they may obtain coverage. (For example, a university coach runs her own program over the summer, and needs insurance). It is NOT intended for institutions to shift any of their specific operational risks away from their own General Liability Policies, and may not be used to cover Institution-sponsored camps or sports clinics.
It protects both the Camp and the Institution against claims by program participants or other third parties who may be injured or lose property as a result of participating in a camp. The types of camps that may be covered are listed below. Coverage includes only General Liability and Accident Medical for Participants. No coverage is available for Workers Compensation or Auto Liability. Events managers can have potential clients evaluate both coverages for cost and coverage effectiveness

How does it work?
This is a web based program. Institutions who wish to participate must subscribe on the TULIP/CAMPS subscription form. Subscription is free of charge. The key URMIA representative is responsible for the Institutions’ subscription. Once the Institution has subscribed, the Institution will be issued two Pass Codes which are the same for the TULIP and the Camps Program.
External Users (third parties with no relation to the institution, and no institutional financial support) who need insurance will be directed to the Web site by the Events Office. They will need to log in, complete an application form and pay by credit card for their coverage. Upon completion of the transaction, they will receive via e-mail a copy of their application and a binder of coverage. The Institution risk management office and the Events Office will each receive a copy of the application (describes the event) and a certificate of insurance. The Events Office is responsible for checking the application against the agreement for facilities use to verify that the correct information was provided.
Internal Users would not be expected under the Camps Program.
For all events, the Institution will be named as Additional Insured.
Class I and II Camps, except those noted as "pend" (e.g. adult rugby) will be automatically underwritten, and Users should be able to complete their transaction in one web session, if they pay by credit card or have authorization to bill to the Institutional account. If they do not pay by credit card or bill to an account, their application will be held until payment is received. High Risk activities (those not listed in the drop down boxes) must have an application filed by fax. These events are individually underwritten. You must allow at least 10 days from the date your complete application is received for a quote. If your on-line or hard copy application is not complete, there may be additional delays. There is no guarantee that all camp programs can be underwritten.
How do I access coverage?
- The Institution where you are having your event must be an URMIA Member Institution that has subscribed to the coverage.
- You must be an approved facilities user at the Institution, and be given a Pass Code by the Events Planning Office, or its equivalent.
- You must go to this Web site. You will need to log in, choose Camps, complete an application form and pay by credit card for your coverage. For all pre-approved camps (they appear in the drop down box) you should be able to complete your transaction in one web session. Costs are based upon the risk of the activity, the number of days of the activity, the number of participants and if there are any special activities. Upon completion of the transaction, you will receive via e-mail a copy of their application and a binder of coverage. A copy will be sent to the appropriate offices at the Institution confirming your transaction.
Other Camps Program Requirements
All Camps Program participants are required to sign a waiver that includes the camp and the institution. Important: In order to get the full benefit of the insurance provided, camps and sports clinics must require that all program participants (and/or parents for minor participants) sign a valid waiver or release. If a program fails to obtain any individual participant waivers, the program will be liable for the first $2,500 of each occurrence (including supplemental payments) resulting in an "athletic participant" legal liability claim. In other words, if you do not have a waiver from a participant, and that participant files a claim, you will be subject to a $2,500 deductible for that claimant.
All Camps Programs for Minors are required to have and implement a Sexual Molestation Prevention Program [PDF].
FAQ's
- I don’t see my type of event in the drop down boxes? What should I do?
You probably have what underwriters consider a "high risk event". Contact Sharon Mastbrook for assistance. Events that are not pre-rated have to be individually underwritten.
- My access code doesn’t seem to be working. What should I do?
Check it again with the institution. If there is an institutional problem, they will contact the program.
- What about events that are held next to the campus but not on property owned by the University?
For example, the municipal center next to our campus uses our parking for overflow for events there. They want us to be responsible for arrangements with third parties using the parking. Say no. Arrange a contract with the municipality to cover losses arising out of events that they authorize, but make the responsibility theirs by extension.
