We are able to accommodate 600 campers, so please register to early to insure your reservation.
We will not be accepting walk-ons this year. Anyone attending camp, MUST preregister. This is the same for student-athletes and coaches alike. We need to do this due to housing reservations. You can preregister one of two ways. You can mail us your application, which can be printed from this site if you don't already have one, to: Wally Kocher, Wrestling Office, Lock Haven University, Lock Haven, PA 17745, or you can register online.
We are offering one week of camp this year. It will be held on July 27- 31, 2008. During that week, we will offer three different camps: Senior High Team Camp, Junior High Team Camp, and Intensive-Technique Camp.
As soon as we receive your application at our office, and you are registered into our database, you will receive a Camper's Packet. In this packet you will find any other forms that you may have to fill out (ie. Medical Information), and a booklet which describes everything you need to bring with you.
Included in those items to bring are:
Items for your room
- A light blanket, pillow, sheets and pillow case. It is also recommended that you bring a fan and a clock for your dorm room.Personal items - such as a toothbrush, comb, towels, wash cloth, soap, casual clothes, light jacket and a swim suit.
Wrestling gear - such as wrestling shoes, workout shorts and T-shirts, head gear, knee pads if needed, combination lock and a bag to carry your shoes to the mat area. You should have several changes of wrestling practice clothes. (There are coin-operated washers and dryers in the residence halls.) Head gear is not mandatory, but is recommended.
Medical supplies - Each camper needs to bring his or her own medical supplies. Our training staff will assist you in all medical needs such as taping and therapy. In addition, campers requiring any medication should bring that to registration with them. Our training staff will store the medicine for you and make sure you receive your regular dosages.
Medical History Form - If you do not return the medical form within two weeks prior to the start of your camp, please bring it with you to registration. It’s very important that this be signed by a parent or guardian.
Optional items - Tennis courts will be available at certain times of camp, provided you bring your own equipment. A camp store will be open at various times during camp. You may choose to bring extra money with you to purchase snacks, soda, clothing, or to play video games.
No. While there is a Medical Information Form that needs to be filled out before you are allowed to participate in any camp activities, this form can easily be filled out by one of your parents. It basically gives us a brief medical history on you, makes us aware of any allergies or medical conditions you may have, tells us who to contact if we need further information, and verifies for us the fact that you carry your own medical insurance.
Yes. We merely ask that if this is the case, you let us know about it ahead of time so that we can make the proper housing and facility accommodations for you. We have had many girls attend our camps, both as commuters and resident campers.
For a full refund, cancellations need to be received in writing by July 14, 2008. Cancellations received after that date will be refunded after non-refundable expenses are paid. Likewise, campers who leave camp due to an injury or illness will be pro-rated after non-refundable expenses are paid. An additional charge of $15 will be assessed to each check which is returned for insufficient funds.
Typically, the team camp consists of one session of instruction per day and two sessions of team competition. That would equal four dual meets per day.
Yes. Individuals and even partial teams can still sign up for the team camp if they so choose. After arriving at camp, these individuals will be assigned to a team for competition purposes.
