Medication: All camper medication must be submitted to our Medical Director at registration. Prescription medication MUST be in its original container with directions for disbursement.

Dormitory: Wrestlers will be housed on North Campus. The exact dorm, floor assignment and room number will be given out at registration. Campers are responsible for all damages in their dorm room.

Key Deposit: Resident campers are required to provide an $85 check deposit for their dorm key. The check will be returned when the dorm key is returned.

Payment: All balances must be paid at the time of check in.

Cancellation: You may cancel without penalty up to two weeks prior to the start of camp. Since it is University policy for us to pay for camp in advance, cancellations after this date will not be possible.

Travel Information: We assume your child is arriving by car unless you contact us in writing. Bus, train and airport pick-ups are provided for a $40 round trip fee. Please provide detailed information of arrival mode (bus, train, plane) date and time (bus #, train #, plane # and exact arrival and departure times).

Local Airports: There are three major airports that serve the College Park area. The closest is Baltimore Washington International Airport. The other two are Ronald Regan National Airport and the Washington Dulles Airport. Tickets should be made to accommodate camp check in and final session times. Camp check in will begin at 11 am and conclude at 1 pm on the first day of each camp. The final session of each camp will end at approximately 11 am on the final day of camp.

Local Hotels: If you plan to arrive the day before or stay after the camp ends for some local sightseeing attractions, you may contact any of these local hotels for a great place to stay in College Park or any of the surrounding areas: Washington DC, Annapolis, or Baltimore. All these hotels are located very close to the University of Maryland campus.

On Campus Parking: You do not have to pay for parking when dropping off or picking up your child from camp. However if you wish to observe the final instructional session on the last day of camp, you can pick up a parking pass at check in. Be careful parking in non-designated areas because parking tickets are too common.

Campers as Drivers: A parking permit must be purchased if a campers car will be parked on campus. The fee is $5.00 a day. Campers who drive are also required to turn in their car keys to the camp director at check in. Keys will be returned at the conclusion of camp.

Camper Pick Up: Only parents or legal guardians are permitted to pick up their children from camp. If you have made other arrangements, please notify the camp in writing granting permission for someone else to pick up your child.

Spending Money: We recommend that each camper bring about $40- $50. We have a camp bank where they can store their money in a safe place. There will be a camp store selling t shirts and pizzas available for order.
