Will I receive a camp confirmation?
Yes! You will receive written confirmation through a camp confirmation packet being mailed to the camper's address marked on the registration form shortly after we receive your application and payment. This confirmation packet will confirm the camper's enrollment in the camp along with details of where to check-in, what to bring, etc.

What is the supervision during camp?
Counselors/Coaches will be staying in the residence halls along with the campers. Depending on the camp a 10:30pm or 11:00pm lights-out is strictly enforced each night when room-check is conducted. The camp staff will also take a roll call several times throughout the day, in addition to walking the campers to all locations across campus.

What if my camper needs to leave camp early?
We prefer that campers not leave campus during their camp experience. Should a camper have to leave the camp for any reason, parents and/or legal guardian must notify the camp director to complete a consent form.

Can campers request their roommate?
Resident campers stay in one of the assigned SUNY Cortland residence halls. A roommate can be made on the camper’s registration form. Please keep in mind that we do our best to meet all roommate requests. However, due to accommodation limitations we cannot always meet every request, and we will be under no obligation to honor requests received less than seven days prior to the start of camp.
If no preference is indicated, the camp staff will assign a roommate similar in age. Roommates must request each other to be accommodated with roommate request forms returned no later than one week prior to the start of the camp session.

What is the presence of trainers/medical staff?
There will be athletic trainers on site during all instruction, practices, and games. Should the need arise, there will also be access to the athletic training room, campus health center, EMTs, and local hospitals. With this in mind, please accurately complete the Camper's Health Form section of the application so the camp staff have important medical information on hand.

Can the camp staff hold a camper's medication?
Camper’s medications will be held by the Camp Health Director. At the onset of camp medications will be turned over to the health director whose responsibility at that point is to administer all medication at the appropriate time based on the prescription.

What if my camper is injured during camp?
In case of an emergency, the University will contact the parent immediately. If the parent/guardian cannot be reached, the University has authorization for emergency medical care granted from the Camper's Health Form. If the medical staff determines that a camper is unable to participate in activities, parents/guardians must make arrangements to have their camper return home.
