Chaperone ratios   Message List

Re: [youthrowing] Chaperone ratios

Coming from a public school program in Northern Virginia, we tend to use similar ratios to that of Girl Scouts... 1 parent per 10 kids... but most of our regattas are very local so that's only for overnight travel trips and then chaperones usually help with other things such as cooking at regatta site and such.
 
All of our chaperone information goes through the booster club and the school athletic director so the adults are covered by school insurance.
 
Am interested to hear what other programs are using for guidelines.

Hi all,
 
It has been quite a while since I've seen a posting from this group, so I hope this email reaches someone. I am a former parent coordinator for a Jr. rowing program, and am still involved on a less regular basis.
 
I have a question regarding some information I heard about youth regatta chaperones. Is there a designated ratio of chaperone to rower required by law? and, just how liable are the chaperones for the kids? Every rower's parents have signed a release of liability waiver to the club, and a permission to travel form.
 
Has this information been updated or changed lately?
 
Thanks for any information you have on this.
