DORMS
WHAT WILL MY DAUGHTER NEED AT THE DORM?
All campers will need bed linens for an extra-long twin bed as well as a pillow. Your daughter will also need toiletries and towels.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I SEND WITH MY DAUGHTER?
Campers sometimes bring appropriate games, cards, mp3 players, snacks and drinks to make their stay more comfortable. The dorms will have refrigerators. Your camper should also bring an alarm clock. Please remember that the HBU Volleyball Camp is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
WILL THE ROOMS HAVE PHONES?
No, the rooms will not have phones. Campers are allowed to bring cell phones; however, they are only permitted to be used in the camper's rooms and are not allowed in the gym, the dorm lobby or along the walk to/from the dorms and the gym.
HOW DO I CONTACT MY DAUGHTER WHILE SHE IS AT CAMP?
You can contact the HBU Volleyball Camp via phone or email. Please see the Navigation Menu on the left and click on Contact Us for our camp contact information.
WILL MY CHILD BE SUPERVISED AT THE DORM?
Yes! Every camper is assigned to a dorm counselor. Campers are required to be in there room by 10:00pm. Our staff will do bed checks every night at 10:15pm. We are very serious about the safety of your daughter.
WHAT IF I LOSE MY ROOM KEY?
Each camper is given a room key at registration. There is a $40 fee for a lost key. These fees are subject to change by Campus Housing. If a camper looses these items, please notify the camp director or a dorm mom immediately. The fee to replace a lost key can be paid to the camp director or a dorm mom. If the camper does not have the money to pay the fee, it will be billed to the parents.
WHAT ABOUT ROOMMATE REQUESTS?
HBU VOLLEYBALL CAMP will accept roommate requests, but does not guarantee them. All requests must be complete; meaning both roommates must request each other.
Rooming assignments are done 1-2 weeks prior to the start of the camp session. If your camper is attending as part of an odd number group (3 person roommate request), the camp reserves the right to add a fourth person who did not request a roommate.
WHAT IF A CAMPER'S ASSIGNED ROOMMATE DOES NOT SHOW UP FOR CAMP?
After all campers have checked in, we will make every attempt to move your camper in to another room so that she will have a roommate. This can sometimes be difficult because our camps vary in age.
PARENTS
CAN PARENTS OBSERVE THE TRAINING SESSIONS?
Yes! Parents are welcome to come watch any training session. Parents are especially invited to come watch the last camp session and closing ceremonies. Please check with your daughter to see what facility she will be in.
CAN PARENTS COME VISIT THEIR DAUGHTER IN THE DORM?
Yes, but with some restrictions. Parents are allowed to come visit their daughter in the lobby of the dorm during the breaks between sessions. Parents are not allowed on the dorm floors, in camper's rooms, or in the cafeteria. Check-In and Check-Out are the only times that the parents will be allowed to go into the rooms. We have found that parents coming to visit their daughters at the dorm during camp is one of the leading causes of homesickness. Camp is a time for your daughter to experience independence and have a great camp experience. We want your daughter to have a positive camp experience and our staff will be there to help if they need to.
PARKING
