Yes, background screenings for summer camp staff and volunteers can be completed up to 45 days before they begin their role at the camp. This ensures compliance while allowing time for results.
The OCA number for DCF Summer Camp screenings is EDCFSC30Z. This OCA must be used to properly route fingerprint results to the DCF system for summer camp compliance.
Summer camp counselors and other staff must complete a Level 2 background check every five years as part of DCF’s re-screening requirement to maintain compliance.
