Insurance and Medical Care: Campers must provide their own medical insurance. A professional trainer will be on duty at all times and team doctors will be on call. Because of the rigorous daily schedule, each camper should come to camp in top physical condition. Every conceivable effort is made to protect the camper's health and safety through the training of our staff, constant inspection of equipment and instruction of campers. However the camp staff assumes no responsibility for accidents or illness.

Pre Existing Medical Issues: Any athlete suffering from an injury, illness, surgery or other medical condition, occurring within the past year, that necessitated their removal from practice &/or competition MUST provide a written release, specific to the injury & summer camp participation, from their physician. Failure to provide a written release will result in a delay of participation until such a release can be obtained. If no release is obtained summer camp participation will be denied.

Discipline: Any serious violation of regulations, such as willful damage to the school's property, or other behavior deemed detrimental to the group, will result in immediate dismissal. There will be no refund of tuition should you be dismissed from camp.

Extras: Swimming, rec night, video analysis, movie night, daily motivational films, and the very popular camp dance are all part of your week's program.
