 FAQ // Three-Day Camps

Q:  When should we drop off and pick up our camper?
A:  Time to arrive on the first day is between 9:00 and 10:00am.  We would suggest arriving between 9:00 and 9:30 - this will allow for time to settle in the room.  Once enough campers arrive in the morning, they will then be taken out to the fields to start playing.  We finish on the last day at 11:30.  However, we encourage friends and family to arrive earlier as we hold a small-sided tournament that morning, beginning around 9:30 or 10:00.  Many parents (and grandparents) typically come to watch.  A short awards ceremony will then begin at 11:00am on the field.

A: My son or daughter is choosing to attend the "day only" option for the full camp (not staying overnight on campus). What will that schedule look like?
Q: Day only campers will follow the same daily schedule as those staying on campus. Drop-off and pick-up for those not staying overnight will be as follows:
  • DAY 1 -- Drop-off between regular registration time (9am - 10am).  Pick-up anytime after last training session and "lights out" time (8pm - 10:30pm).
  • DAY 2 -- Drop-off at the Wittenberg Dorm either 15 minutes prior to breakfast or 15-30 minutes prior to the first training session (breakfast is optional for day campers). Pick-up anytime after last training session and "lights out" time (8pm - 10:30pm).
  • DAY 3 -- Drop-off at the Wittenberg Dorm either 15 minutes prior to breakfast or 15-30 minutes prior to the first training session (breakfast is optional for day campers). Pick-up at 11:30am at Wittenberg Dorm or arrive early to watch scrimmage and awards presentation.
