MEDICAL FORM FAQ’s

• MANDATORY: We need the medical release of liability form or a school physical signed by a doctor within the last year that says your child is
  cleared tp participate in sports. In either instance, we still need a parents’ signature on the release of liability form.
• If you mail your medical release form to the Sports Camps office ahead of time, you will have one less step at check-in!

PRACTICE FAQ’s

• University of Iowa coaches, student-athletics, and other college and high school coaches run practices. Whenever the camper is not practicing they will be
  among counselors (walking, eating, sleeping, etc.). Counselors stay in the dorms with the campers. Campers are supervised at ALL times.

Resident vs Commuter definition:

• Resident: This refers to sleeping arrangements during camp, NOT your home address. It means that you will stay overnight and sleep in our dorms.
• Commuter: This camper will attend all instruction sessions, leave at night and sleep in his own home or somewhere they have made alternate sleeping arrangements.

PARENT FAQ’s

• If you take a camper out of camp, you MUST stop at the Counselor Desk to sign them out and sign them back in so we know where they are at all times. The camper must also notify their coach that they will be absent
• Counselors live as residents on every floor while Sports Camps are in session
