Camp Information

AGE REQUIREMENTS:

All campers must be at least nine years old or entering the fourth grade in September 2010 to attend camp. According to NCAA regulations, boys who have graduated high school and are about to enter college in the fall of 2010 may attend the Jim Calhoun Basketball Camp.

REGISTRATION:

Registration/Check-In: Registration for all campers will take place at Gampel Pavilion on Monday, July 5th (Session 1), and Saturday, July 10th (Session 2) from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. for each session (See: directions to camp).

At registration, you will check-in, receive your team assignment, room assignment and room key (room key deposit required at this time), leave money for the Canteen/Camp Store, leave any Medication Authorization Forms with the camp medical staff, pay any outstanding balances and leave any outstanding camp forms with the camp administrators and pick up a sheet with emergency camp phone numbers. After registering at Gampel, you will move into your assigned room in the dormitories.

Room Key Deposit: The room key deposit will be due at registration and should be made out ahead of time to: "Jim Calhoun Basketball Camp." This deposit will be returned to campers provided that their room key is turned in at the conclusion of their session of camp.

Canteen: We have a camp store (Canteen/Camp Store) that is available to all of our campers. We DO NOT encourage campers to carry cash. We ask that parents make a cash deposit into the canteen at registration. Your son then charges against that amount all week. Following the awards ceremony on the last day of camp, we refund the money that your son has not spent. At the camp store we sell t-shirts, practice jerseys, shorts, pizza, snacks, and drinks.

Please note - NO LUNCH WILL BE SERVIED ON THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP.
