What are the age restrictions for the camp? | ||||||
Typically, the camp has had participants as young as entering grade 7 through entering college in the fall. For the younger campers we ask that they have had some exposure to the sport prior to attending. |
||||||
Do you allow male participants at the camp? | ||||||
We do allow male participants to enroll in our camp. We do ask that if a male is interested in enrolling in the camp that they reach out to us via e-mail or phone. We will need to have a conversation in order to accommodate housing…as the housing with the general camp is not acceptable to house male and female campers due to the layout of the dorms. |
||||||
How many campers per room? | ||||||
2 campers per room. You may not move mattresses. You may not move rooms unless this is done with the camp administration and housing working directly with you…we need to know where our campers are at all times in case of any emergency with the camp or with their families and we must abide by the University fire codes in the assigned dormitory. |
||||||
Are triple rooms available? | ||||||
We do not get our dorm assignments until closer to the start of camp, thus we do not know layout of the camp dorms and if triples are available. Because of this we ask for two to a room on applications. If there is an odd number in a group and a triple is available we will assign it to a group like this. We will take e-mail requests for triples, however can not guarantee that it will occur unless it is available after we have assigned those deemed needed vs. wanted (if it is the case that it is wanted it will be on a first come-first serve basis from the time the request is made via e-mail). E-mail requests must include: Session of camp, high school or group campers are from in that session, full names of the campers to be placed in a triple. You will then be added to a waiting list until rooming lists are put together. |
||||||
When do we receive our roommate’s name for camp? | ||||||
Camp enrollment is an ongoing process for the summer and roommate assignments will not be giving out until you arrive and check-in. If there is an issue with your roommate assignment, we can only accommodate room changes at 10PM the first night of camp in the main lobby of the dorm that we are assigned. This allows for late arrivals to have checked-in and for us to check voicemail/e-mails about last minute cancellations (so we know available rooms). |
||||||
Are refrigerators in the dorm rooms? | ||||||
The dorms do not include refrigerators. | ||||||
How do I change rooms? | ||||||
IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE ROOMS…all parties involved in the change must be there to do so. This way we make sure to reduce bullying, hazing, that we keep all of the keys to the correct doors in the right hands and make appropriate changes to our master list of dorm assignments in the event of an emergency that requires us to reach the camper in a time we are not on the field. |
||||||
What Dorm are the campers staying in and is it air conditioned? | ||||||
We do not get our dorm assignments until closer to the start of camp and the dorms are not air conditioned (FANS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). For security purposes we do not post this information on the website. An e-mail will go out to all enrolled to the address on their application once we have the information and closer to the start of the camp with directions to check-in and moving into the dorms. |
||||||
What is the Itinerary for camp? | ||||||
For security purposes we do not post this information on the website. Schedules will be posted on each floor of the camper dorms and with current technology campers have sent photos home to parents with daily schedule, Evening game and Tournament game times and dates. We can however give the following brief overview:
**In the skill sessions Goalkeepers have their own specialized curriculum they follow and join field players for evening games |
||||||
What is the tax code number for the camp? | ||||||
In accordance with the IRS Publication 503: Overnight camp costs are not eligible for childcare credit in Connecticut. We are unable to provide a tax number to stay compliant with the IRS. |
||||||
What do I do if I need to arrive late to camp or check-out early? | ||||||
If you have a camper who will need to leave camp before the check-out time or arrive after the designated check-in time. Please contact us via e-mail to let us know date and time of late arrival/early check out, so that we can make sure they properly check-in or out and that key deposits for dorm rooms are in the correct hands. NEW THIS YEAR: Visit our forms tab of the website to complete the Early Departure/ Late arrival information and turn in at registration or upon early pick up!! |
||||||
Is there a COVID policy for camp? | ||||||
We will follow the university policy. If symptoms develop, you will be asked to wear a mask and follow the guidelines found on our Student Health and Wellness Page https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/updates-events/coronavirus/quarantine-guidelines/ |
