All groups visiting with minors (ages 17 and under) must provide at least two adult chaperones regardless of group size. Additionally, all groups must meet the following minimum ratios:
- One adult per 10 elementary or middle school students
- One adult per 18 high school students
Chaperones are expected to actively supervise students and are responsible for their behavior while on campus. University / Museum staff do not provide custodial care for youth groups.
By submitting this form, group leaders and chaperones agree to follow these guidelines and attest that parents or guardians have granted permission for the visit and that appropriate consent forms or permission slips have been secured in advance.
These guidelines follow the policies of University of Wisconsin–Madison’s
Office of Youth Protection.
