What is the adult supervision like at camp?
All of the staff members sleep in the dorms with the campers. The UCONN police patrol the campus, as well as the dorms. The campers travel with their teammates and coach throughout the day.
There should never be a time when campers are by themselves.

Are there triple rooms available?
Although we have some large rooms available, ALL of our rooms are doubles,
we do not have any triples.

What if my child is not attending with a friend, will she have a roommate?
All children are assigned roommates at the beginning of camp. If your daughter is attending without a friend, we do our very best to find someone that is entering the same grade and is from a nearby town so that they can maintain their friendship after camp has ended. In the event that your daughters' roommate becomes sick or cannot come to camp at the last minute, we will find a roommate for her; she will not sleep alone.

Are there phones in the dorms?
There are NO pay phone in the dorms or in Gampel Pavilion.

What are meals like?
We eat all of our meals in a UCONN cafeteria. All of the food is served buffet style. It is an all-you-can-eat environment at each meal. There is a wide selection at meals; even picky eaters should be able to find something to eat! There is also a vegetarian selection at each meal. They usually have a pasta bar at dinner, a salad bar at all meals, lots of fruit and drinks, ice cream, the regular hot food service, a sandwich bar, etc. There are many options and everyone should be able to find something that they like. If you have a food allergy you should contact the UConn catering office at 860-486-5053.

Can I watch my daughter play?
YES. You are welcome to attend any session and be a spectator.

Should my daughter bring spending money?
We have a camp store that is available to all of our campers.
At the camp store we sell shorts, t-shirts, candy, pizza and drinks.

How much interaction will my daughter have with the UCONN players?
We have 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 the dorms like?
We live in regular UCONN dorms. Each floor has a large bathroom to accommodate the entire floor. A wall separates each shower. Bring flip-flops to wear in the shower! The dorms are not air-conditioned, so bring a fan for comfort. The hall lights are left on all night, but if you feel that your daughter might need more light you may want to bring a nightlight. The beds are bunk beds. If you take the beds down, they must be put back up on the day that you leave.

Is there medical staff available during the evening?
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 to orientation.

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 July 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 camp registration the first 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.

Is there a refrigerator, microwave, TV or air-conditioner in the room?
No, and only refrigerators are allowed.

Does the camp provide any transportation to and from the airport?
YES, we do provide transportation to and from the airport. Arrangements must be made in advance with Camp Director.
