2 CAMP OVERVIEW & WELCOME Offense-Defense would like to thank everyone for choosing O-D Football Camps. Our staff looks forward to working with your athlete and will continue to develop your player s potential both on and off the field. Please be sure to read this packet in its entirety. Enclosed are important camp forms that need to be completed, signed, and handed into us at camp. There is also important information that both you and your camper need to know before joining us for camp this summer. We welcome you to join us throughout the week to watch your camper s progress; all we ask is that you sign in at a designated area to obtain a field pass upon your arrival. For security purposes, O-D camps have a closed camp policy, meaning that parents are permitted in the dormitories only on the first and last day of camp and are NOT allowed in the cafeteria. We ask that parents attend Opening Ceremonies, Parent Orientation, and Closing Ceremonies. SLEEPOVER CAMPERS Sleepover campers are dropped off Sunday and remain on campus until Wednesday after Closing Ceremonies. Counselors and coaches supervise them 24 hours a day. Sleepover Campers are provided 3 meals per full day along with lodging. The first meal is lunch on Sunday and the last meal is lunch on Wednesday. EXTENDED DAY CAMPERS During the camp week, Extended Day Campers are to be dropped off at 8:30AM and are to be picked up at 8:30PM at an area designated on opening day. Offense-Defense provides lunch and dinner to Extended Day Campers. The first meal is lunch on Sunday and the last meal is lunch on Wednesday. DAY CAMPERS During the camp, week Day Campers are to be dropped off at 8:30AM and picked up by 4:30PM at an area designated on Opening Day. The first meal is lunch on Sunday and the last meal is lunch on Wednesday. Wednesday pickup is 6PM for all campers! EQUIPMENT RENTAL For those campers who do not have access to equipment for camp, Offense- Defense provides the equipment rental option. The cost is $60 ($80 after May 1st) and includes helmet and shoulder pads. Campers must provide their own chin strap, mouthpiece, pants (including thigh & knee pads/protectors), girdle, athletic supporter.

ROOMMATE REQUESTS Sleepover Campers will be roomed according to age and size. On average, there are two campers per room. Offense-Defense will make its best effort to honor roommate requests but requests cannot be guaranteed. After May 1, roommate requests will not be accepted. Any unauthorized room exchanges will result in immediate expulsion from camp.
