Clearance Forms & Waivers
Volunteer Clearances – Camp Susquehanna
Pennsylvania Child Abuse Law requires all Camp Susquehanna volunteers to obtain the appropriate background clearances before volunteering.
Required Clearances (PA Residents)
Most volunteers will need the following, all current within 60 months of the first day of camp:
- PA State Police Criminal History Clearance
- PA Child Abuse History Clearance
- FBI Fingerprint Clearance (Required only if you have not lived continuously in Pennsylvania for the past 10 years.)
All clearances must be submitted to Camp Susquehanna by May 31 to be eligible to volunteer.
Out-of-State Volunteers
Volunteers who reside outside of Pennsylvania but will be volunteering in Pennsylvania for no more than 30 days in a calendar year are not required to obtain PA Child Abuse, PA State Police, or PA FBI clearances.
However, these volunteers must:
Be compliant with the clearance requirements of their home state, and
Provide documentation of those clearances to Camp Susquehanna prior to volunteering.
How to Apply
Clearances are completed online.
The FBI clearance requires fingerprinting at an approved location (in PA or another state).
