Notes for all camps: 

Holyoke High Camps Only:

We have access to the swimming pool behind Roberts Field so each camper will get 30-45 minutes in the pool each day.  All parents will need to sign a waiver (when you register) in order for their children to use the pool.  The pool is not required if your child would prefer not to swim.

What to bring:

• Soccer shoes (cleated or indoor), regular shoes (for soccer tennis - full day kids only), shin guards, rain gear, sun block, bathing suit & towel, snack, water bottle and SOCCER BALL.
• Full day campers will need to bring their own lunch each day. 

With regards to anticipated rain, we will have a tent/shelter available to give the children an opportunity to stay dry if it rains hard.  In addition, there will be a certified athletic trainer on site all week  to deal with injuries and monitor any potential dangerous weather (lightning).

Please note that we will not allow the use of cell phones during camp hours 9-12pm half day or 9am-4pm full day (phones will be allowed to call parents/family for missing items, if they aren't feeling well, etc.).
