What is the difference between a Team Adult Advisor and a Chaperone?
All youth must have a chaperone (3:1 ratio of youth to adult) and all teams must have a designated Team Adult Advisor. Following are guidelines to help you understand the difference between these two important roles.
Chaperone Guidelines:
They are the primary contacts and mentors for youth attending the Prevention Summit. Chaperones are our first line in promoting and protecting the health, safety, and well-being of the youth that join us. It is every chaperone's duty to be a reliable, positive role model whom youth can turn to for everything from health matters to guidance on conference etiquette.
Team Adult Advisor Guidelines:
In accordance with the Chaperone Guidelines for the Summit, there must be one adult to every three youth.
For teams, one of the chaperones should be designated as the Team Adult Advisor. In addition to the
chaperone duties, the Team Adult Advisor must fulfill the following responsibilities:
Reminders:
Violations of any of the guidelines may result in a group or individual being sent home at his/her own expense. The Summit organizers have set the above expectations to provide a framework of appropriate behavior for all attendees. Your group may choose to have additional guidelines and expectations.
