Background Checks

All volunteers, paid staff and teens 18 years old or older are required to have a background check before their registration is complete. The background check expires after three years. It is your responsibility to pay the cost of your background check. The cost is $35.

You need to complete a background check this year if:

  • you have had any violations since camp last year, or
  • you have not completed one before, or
  • you are notified by La Semana that your background check has expired (every three years)

Click the link below to access the background check system. Follow the prompts to complete the background check.
