We will have a morning and afternoon session, with lunch in between. During each session you will either have games, participate in stations, have practice, etc. Are there phones in the dorms? There are NO pay phone in the dorms or in Gampel Pavillion. What are meals like? We will provide a bux lunch for each camper. It will include a sandwich, fruit, snack and beverage. If you do not care for our lunch, you may pack your own. If you have a food allergy you should contact the UConn catering office at 860-486-5053 Can I watch my daughter play? After drop-off, parents are welcome ONLY on the last day of camp, after lunch. Should my daughter bring spending money? We have a camp store that is available to all of our campers. We DO NOT encourage the campers to have cash. We ask that at registration you make a cash deposit into the camp store. Your daughter then charges against that amount all week. On the last morning of camp we refund the money that your daughter has not used. At the camp store we sell shorts, t-shirts, candy, and drinks. Will my 3rd grader be playing with a 8th grader? No, the campers are divided into random teams according to their age group. When is pick-up and drop-off? On the first day of camp, campers should arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 am, and proceed directly to Gampel floor where they will find their team names. Camp begins promptly at 9:00 am. Campers are released to their parents at the end of each day at 4:00 pm. Can I request that my daughter be on a certain team or on a team with a specific friend? No, the teams are randomly assigned so that it is fair for everyone. The teams are computer generated so that it is completely random and fair for everyone. How much interaction will my daughter have with the UCONN players? We guarantee that at least two UCONN players work at each camp. Each of our players teaches a station, so your daughter will work directly with our players during stations. They also eat all of their meals with the campers, etc. We all live together as one big happy family! What are stations? Stations are one of the most important parts of camp. Stations are where your daughter will learn the majority of her skill improvement. Each team rotates from station to station improving different skills. One station is shooting, one is rebounding, etc. Is there medical staff available? Our medical staff is available to the campers 24 hours a day. The campers are told on the first day of camp where to find the medical staff during all hours of the day, it is very important that they listen during orientation. UCONN CO-OP Campers are not allowed in the UCONN CO-OP; if they are found in the CO-OP (campus store) they will be asked to leave camp. Parents are more than welcome to take campers shopping in the CO-OP Before or After the camp session. Our camp store will have "daily" needs for the campers. Heath History Forms We have had enormous parent confusion regarding the medical history and authorization to dispense medicine forms in the past. This year we have two mandatory health forms: The Physical form is required for all campers, must be completely filled out and signed by a doctor and a parent . The Medication authorization form is required for your daughter to take any medication at camp. If you want to authorize the camp to administer medication as needed to your daughter, a doctor must fill out the Medication Authorization form (with dosage amount) for a camper to take either a prescription OR over the counter medication. Please - only one medication per form. - The form must be completed by June 1st and mailed in with all other forms. Please know that we will NOT give your daughter Tylenol, Advil, etc without the form being signed by a doctor and you providing the medicine. As an example, if your daughter develops a headache, cramps, or suffers a minor strain, we will NOT give her Tylenol/Advil, etc without the form being signed by a doctor and you providing the medicine. We hope this clarifies any questions. We expect that all campers will turn in a form prior to June 1st, and will turn the actual medicine in to the medical staff at the start of camp each day. Please take your medication home with you at the end of each camp day. The state also mandates that campers are not allowed to have any medicine (except inhalers) in their gym bag (this includes Tylenol), or in their room. The state inspector may check open bags and rooms when we are inspected. Anything found will result in an infraction for the camp. If your daughter is diabetic or has a life threatening illness, the state requires an additional form for your daughter's doctor to complete. Please e-mail the camp for this form. Can I wear jewelery, hats or other adornment? No, please leave these items at home. Can I bring an iPod, MP3 player, etc? No, not for day camp. Does the camp provide any transportation to and from the airport? No, we do not provide transportation to and from the airport at this time.
