Frequently asked questions
HOW DO I REGISTER?

DO YOU OFFER FAMILY DISCOUNTS?
Yes. The first child pays full price. The second child gets $25 off. The third child gets $50 off.
DO YOU OFFER AN EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT?
Yes. If registered and PAID IN FULL by May 1st you will receive a $50 per child discount.
CAN CAMPERS REQUEST TO BE IN THE SAME CABIN?
Yes (within reason). We do everything we can to make this happen. Campers must be similar in age. We cannot have 10 year olds in the same cabin with 15 year olds. The earlier you register the better chance you will have of your request being made
HOW ARE CAMPERS GROUPED?
Campers are grouped by age and ability. Coaches evaluate campers and decide what league they should play in
DO CAMPERS NEED ANY MONEY?
The camp provides a canteen. All campers hand in their money at registration. If they have any money left at the end of the week, it will be returned to them before they leave. Campers do not need any money in the cabins
DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BRING WATER BOTTLES?
No. The camp has plenty of water stations.
DOES YOUR SCHEDULE CHANGE FOR EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER?
Yes. We modify the schedule based on weather conditions. We check the weather throughout the day for the latest updates. We will modify/change activities during extreme weather conditions
WHAT DO YOU DO ON RAINY DAYS?
The camp is weather proof. We have indoor facilities that enable the campers to work out all the time. Rain is not a problem.
WHAT ARE YOUR SAFETY PROCEDURES
After registration on the first day of camp we have orientation BEFORE we do any basketball. This orientation includes such topics as: introduction to staff, safety rules of the camp, where they are allowed/not allowed, supervision, fire drills, emergency situations, check food allergies, introduction to the medical staff, behavior, respect others, schedule, etc.
DO YOU HAVE A MEDICAL STAFF ON CAMPUS?
Yes, we have a 24 hour medical staff on campus.
IF I DROP OFF MY CHILD CAN SOMEONE ELSE PICK HIM OR HER UP?
Yes. We have a sign out sheet. There will be a coach at the gate for parents to sign out the campers they are taking home. You can tell us at registration or call us during the week if you need to tell us who will be picking up your child.
IS THERE A LIST OF THINGS TO BRING?
Yes. Once we receive your application and deposit we will email you everything you need to bring to camp
IS THERE A CERTAIN FORM WE HAVE TO USE FOR OUR PHYSICAL?
