How Visits Work • Check in at the front counter. Visitors age 16 and older must show a photo ID at check-in. • If you are bringing items for your youth, you will need to give them to staff, who will search them before giving them to your youth. • If children younger than 18 are visiting, they must be supervised at all times by their parent or guardian. • Visits can happen anywhere on our facility grounds, with a few minor exceptions, as long as our staff are monitoring the visit. Areas and activities include an outdoor gazebo with grill, outdoor basketball area, recreation field, pool table, ping pong table, board games and video games. • Our kitchen and dining areas are available for visitors to cook meals with their youth during visits. If you wish to do this, please coordinate it with our facility staff before your visit. • You may take photos with your youth, but you must get staff approval first. • Please limit physical contact with your youth to a short embrace at the beginning and end of the visit. Do not contact any other youth or families, other than a casual greeting.

Restricting or Denying Visits • Please be respectful to OYA staff, youth, and other visitors during your visit. This includes following staff directions and using appropriate language. We work hard to create a positive, family-friendly environment for all youth and visitors. • Staff may restrict or deny a youth’s visiting privileges and may deny visitors entry into Camp Florence or make them leave for reasons related to safety, security, and facility order. If visitors do not behave appropriately or try to bring in something that is not allowed, we will ask them to leave and may not allow them to visit again. • If the facility has a sudden safety or security issue, it is possible that visits may be delayed or cancelled at the last minute. This is rare, but sometimes it happens.

Who May Visit Getting Approval to Visit

If you are not on your youth’s OYA Approved Visitor List: • Turn in a Request to Visit form before coming to visit. Forms are available online at bit.ly/oyaflorence. Please turn in the form at least two weeks before you hope to visit, to give us time to process your request. • OYA uses the information on the form to do a criminal background check. If you have an arrest or conviction, it does not always mean you cannot come into the facility — it depends on your situation. If you have an active warrant, we will not let you inside. • If you are approved, we will put you on your youth’s OYA Approved Visitor List. You must be on this list in order to visit. • The first time you visit, you will need to sign a Facility Access Form.

If you already completed OYA’s criminal background check and are on your youth’s Approved Visitor List: • You do not need to go through the process again. • The first time you visit, you will need to sign a Facility Access Form.

Visiting Hours • Daily 9 a.m.-7 p.m.

Scheduling Visits • You must schedule your visit a minimum of 24 hours in advance. Please let us know sooner if you are able. • To schedule, you may tell your youth when you plan to visit, and they will inform the staff. You also can call 541-997-2076. When you arrive, look for this sign to find the front entrance. Benches overlooking a pond are among the areas where youth may have visits.
