What Camp Owners & Directors Should Know

HARMFUL UV RAYS

When children and staff are outside and the Ultraviolet (UV) Index is 3 or higher, there is risk of harm to their unprotected skin and eyes.

PEAK HOURS

The UV Index regularly reaches 5 and higher between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (DST) from May to August, but rarely exceeds 10 in Canada.

SKIN CANCER RISK

A single blistering sunburn before the age of 20 increases the risk of developing melanoma later in life.

YOUTH AT RISK

Infants, young children, and people with fair skin that burns easily are especially vulnerable to UV exposure. Certain people with health conditions or who are on medications may also be particularly sensitive to UV radiation.
