Violation of any of the rules listed below could result in immediate dismissal. General Rules for Campers Campers must report on time to all scheduled activities. Campers are required to participate in all scheduled activities. Only a camp director or trainer may grant permission to be excused. Campers are not permitted to leave the camp area or go off campus. Campers are prohibited from entering residence halls other than their own. Campers are forbidden to participate in violent or abusive acts—hazing is strictly forbidden. Campers are forbidden to gamble, smoke, use illegal drugs, and/or drink intoxicating beverages. Note: Misuse or damage of University property may result in dismissal. Refunds are not granted in cases of dismissal. Charges will be assessed against campers responsible for damaged or missing University equipment or property. Refund Policy All cancellations must be received in writing or by fax or e-mail. Full refunds will be made for cancellations received at least fifteen days before camp begins. After this deadline, a $80 fee will be deducted for administrative expenses. For refunds, the postmark of the cancellation letter or the date stamp from the fax machine will determine the date received by the Sport Camps office. Refunds for campers who leave early will be based on the cost of housing and food, the number of instruction periods, and the deduction of a $80 administration fee. This refund policy will be strictly enforced, regardless of the reason for cancellation or early departure. Departing campers should consult with the camp director and must complete the early departure form at the housing desk before leaving. If the camp is canceled or postponed, the University will refund registration fees but cannot be held responsible for any related costs, charges, or expenses, including cancellation/change charges assessed by airlines or travel agencies. Medical Information In the event of illness or injury, a camper should report to his or her coach or trainer. If treatment, hospitalization, or surgery is required, the camper’s family will be billed for all services. The University does not provide medical insurance for campers. We strongly recommend that all campers be covered by some form of medical insurance.
