FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can parents stay and watch training sessions?
A: Absolutely, parents are always welcome to watch!
Q: Are parents allowed to visit campers in the dorms?
A: Parents are welcome to visit campers in the lobby of the dorms during down times. Parents will have access to dorm rooms for move in and move out (and of course emergency/illness situations). Campus rules allow for only staff and campers to be on the floors of the dorms. This ensures the safety of the campers.
Q: If I come with a group/friend, will we be on the same team?
We do everything we can to make sure friends play together. When splitting campers into groups at the start of camp, the Camp Director will ask friends to sit together. He will then make sure to place them on the same team. We want the campers to have the best possible experience and we realize that typically means playing with friends!
Q: If I request a roommate, will we be placed in the same dorm room?
A: Yes, we will make sure roommates are paired together as long as both request each other when registering. Please note that only 2 campers are allowed to stay in a room due to fire code restrictions.
