RE: YARMOUTH - Mid -Cape Basketball School
Day Camp for Boys and Girls
On August 8, 2000, Meghan Driscoll of the Department of Public Health conducted an
inspection of the Mid -Cape Basketball Camp that is operating at the Mid -Cape Racquet & Health
Club that is operating at the Dennis -Yarmouth Regional High School. It was found that this
camp is operating without. a license from the board of health as required by M-assachusetts
General Law, Chapter 140, section 32A. A telephone call was made from this office to Mr.
Hamilton approximately four to five weeks ago informing him of a need for a license. A call
was also made to your office at that time informing it of the existence of this camp.
A review of this camp revealed that in addition to many other violations, the required
background checks of the staff have not been conducted.
Based upon the operation of this program without the required license and that
background checks have not been conducted, it is the recommendation of the Department of
Public Health that this
camp be closed. Please inform this office upon receipt of this correspondence as to what action it
will take in this matter.
Sincerely,
Howard S. Wensley, M.S., C.H.O.
