Summer Camp Fees and Exempt Status of Summer Camp Employees

Policy title

Purpose of this policy

The policy for summer camp fees and exempt status for camp employees applies to the Athletic Department and other Summer Camps directed and staffed by NWU employees. Summer Camps directed by and staffed by NWU employees must use NWU accounting and payroll functions managed by the Business and Human ResourceOffices. Directors of summer camps are exempt from Federal Wage and Hour regulations.

Policy statement

Summer camps pay a per camper fee for accounting and payroll services, which gives the camps independent recreational status under Federal Wage and Hour regulations and exemption from Federal Wage and Hour overtime and record keeping regulations.
Summer camps, which do not pay the fee for each camper, are subject to the Federal Wage and Hour regulations. Federal Wage and Hour regulations require employers to pay employees by the hour from official time sheets obtained from the Human Resource Office.
Summer camps who put their entire profit including payment to camp directors into their NWU fundraising accounts can classify their camp staff as non-paid volunteers.
Camp directors do not pay the per camper fee for attendees who receive NWU
course credit for camp work.
The per camper fees is $2.00 per day.
Questions about the policy should be directed to the Human Resource Office
