How can I get directions to camp? 

We will send you directions and addresses before camp begins via email.

Which meals are provided?

Overnight Campers - Sunday evening meal - Thursday morning breakfast
MAKE SURE YOUR CAMPER HAS LUNCH BEFORE YOU LEAVE ON SUNDAY!

Daycampers- Lunch only Monday - Wednesday


CAN I COME AND WATCH MY CAMPER?

Yes, you can attend any teaching session.  We will have a scrimmage on Thursday morning beginning about 9:30am.  More info to follow on the Thursday schedule. 

How are the groups divided up?

Due to the large number of campers, it is imperative that groups are made up ahead of time from the information given on the registration form (ex. primary position, if they play travel ball, at what level or age group they normally play)

The staff will divide first by age and then will adjust by skill level at their discretion.  The staff meet nightly to determine if a camper needs to move up or down to ensure safety.  If you or your camper have questions regarding their group please have them see their counselor or talk to Coach Tara or Norma.
They may not be in the same group as their buddy.  They all will be getting the same training in the course of the day.  


Phones available? 

We have not banned cell phones, but, we strongly recommend that they NOT bring cell phones or other electronic devices to camp. We can not be responsible for them and they cause more problems than they solve.

The counselors all have cell phone access if the campers need to call home for emergencies.  If a camper brings a phone, it must remain in their rooms.  Please do not panic if your child does not answer the phone.  They do not spend that much time in their rooms.  WE ASK THAT ALL CELL PHONES BE TURNED OFF BY 10PM.

Is there medical staff at camp? 

A certified athletic trainer will be present during all training sessions and on call in the evening if necessary.  
Our trainers do not have medication to give out,  you must supply your own.
ICE and WATER will be provided at all training sessions. 

PLEASE DISCUSS ANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS WITH THE TRAINER AT REGISTRATION!!  

We have had problems in the past with campers being "sick" and wanting to stay in the training room all day.  We will call you if that is the case.  If they are too sick to participate then they should probably go home. 

PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD TO CAMP SICK OR WITH AN OPEN WOUND WITHOUT HAVING THE TRAINER LOOK AT IT PRIOR TO YOU LEAVING.  

Any child that has a fever or illness that we feel is detrimental to the other campers will be required to go home. 


ANY DISCOUNTS OFFERED? 

We offer a $50 sibling discount. 
 
Due to NCAA regulations we can not offer discounts to one individual without offering it to everyone.
