Hello there fellow camper...are you looking forward to having fun?  Your camp coaches are looking forward to having fun so we hope you are too.

We are all at this camp to:

  • have fun

  • compete against ourselves and others

  • grow and learn

  • improve our sportsmanship in a competitive environment

  • help each other when and where ever possible to play better than our current best

In coming to the camp here is information you need to know:

 

0) Protect your children's feet:

    This camp involves tons of running and can lead to sore feet.  To help reduce this problem we recommend. One: Running shoes must be tied tight.  Two: 1 or preferably 2 athletic (not ankle) socks should be worn on each foot.  Three: Be sure your child's sport shoes fit correctly.  If your child has sore feet at the end of the day, may we suggest this simple remedy, soak her/his feet for 20 minutes in a warm water epson salts solution.

 

 1) Clothing:

A)  Hats as protection from the sun are allowed.

B)  Running shoes are required.

C)  Loose clothing, shorts make playing sports easier

D)  Sunscreen is a must and a cap is helpful against getting sunburn/sunstrock
 

2) Bring a lunch and a morning and afternoon snack as needed.  No peanut butter sandwiches though in case someone has an allergic reaction to this food.


 

3) Bring your own drinks too.  A water bottle is almost essential.  Please though, NO GLASS containers, if glass breaks it becomes a real safety hazard in the camp.


 

4) The camp's core hours are from 9 to 4.   MAIN PLACE will be open and supervised from 8:30 am for early drop-off and to 6:00 pm for late pickup.


 

5) The camp is not run by rules.  There is one rule though that must be made clear - YOU MAY NOT LEAVE THE CAMP (once you are there) WITHOUT PERMISSION and if someone other than your parents/guardian are picking you up, please be sure you know the person BEFORE approaching any vehicle that seems to have come to take you home.


 

6) The camp attempts to create a free open learning atmosphere.  There is at least one coach for every 10 campers, so please feel free to ask coaches to help you learn things.  The coaches are there for your learning.  ASK.  Help will be freely available.  Have FUN too.


 

7) DON’T BRING MONEY OR VALUABLES.  There is no secure place to keep valuable.

 

8) Bringing sun screen is advisable, and also a towel.


9) It is OK to bring your own (labeled) sports equipment for this camp, like a soccer ball, bow & arrows, baseball bat, golf club, etc.

 

10) Also please tell your parents or guardians that they are welcome to come and watch the camp at all time.  What goes on in your camp is not secret, it is open for everyone to share in.  So Mom's and Dad's come on out.  Bring a smile and bring a camera.  Enjoy your child’s summer in Erin Olympics Camp.

 

11) Finally, you are welcome to bring a friend too.  If your friend wants to attend the rest of the camp and there is adequate room, an adjusted fee for days attended will be asked for (usually $15/day).
 

Sincerely
Your coaches…
