What to Bring
Day Campers: Come dressed and ready to play with athletic shorts, a t-shirt, and basketball/athletic shoes. Do not bring jewelry, watches, hats, etc. Cell phones will be put away during camp time. Additionally, do not bring a basketball. Balls are provided during camp. Davidson Basketball is not responsible for any items that are lost or stolen.
Resident Campers: Campers staying in the dorms will need to bring athletic shorts, t-shirts, socks, underwear, basketball shoes, slides (for the showers and walking to and from dorms and meals). Towels, soap, personal hygiene items, pillow, blanket and sheets or sleeping bag (beds are usually XL Twin). All rooms are air-conditioned. There will also be a $60 key deposit that will be held by us until your key is turned in at the end of camp.
Check-In
Check-in will be in the lobby of the Vance Athletic Facility beginning at 4:00pm on Sunday and ending at 6:00pm. While parents are allowed in the building during camp hours, our staff strongly encourages parents/visitors to only attend on the final day during the camp playoffs. With over 250 campers and counselors in our facilities, we believe that the most efficient and effective way to instruct, to motivate and to remain organized is with only those participating in the camp to be present during camp hours.
Camp Bank
At Check-In, campers may open a Camp Bank Account to purchase snacks and drinks at the canteen as well as pizza slices on pizza night. The camp bank will function as a debit system so campers do not need to keep up with cash. We recommend $60.00 for resident campers and $40.00 for day campers. A refund will be given on the last day of camp for any balance remaining. The camp bank deposit is cash only. We do not accept checks for our camp bank.
Meals
Meals will be provided in our Vail Commons dining hall. Day campers will be provided lunch and dinner and our resident campers will be provided breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Medical Information
Matt McKillop’s Basketball Camp does not require a separate, printed medical form. All of the medical information we need is collected when you sign up. During the online check-out process, you will also be required to review and agree to a liability release and permission to treat. Answers to all questions are required for admission into camp; please be sure that the information you input is complete and accurate.
Scholarships/Financial Aid
Unfortunately, we are limited by NCAA regulations and are unable to provide financial assistance to our camp.
Roommates
Resident Campers: We will try to honor all roommate/hallmate requests received three weeks prior to camp. In order for us to guarantee your request, please make sure the requested roommate has also requested your son.
Camp Trainer
There will be a full-time, certified, athletic trainer on site for the entirety of camp. If you have any medical concerns regarding your child, please convey this to the trainer at check-in. In the waiver statement that you electronically sign, please note that over-the-counter medications may be provided. Should you have any questions about this policy, please speak to our camp trainer at check-in.
Teams
Our primary goal in forming camp teams is to ensure balanced competition. Teams are assigned based on age and grade and are adjusted by our coaching staff during evaluation games on the first day. Teams will have 8-10 campers. In some cases, players are traded among teams to help balance the competition. Also, if a camper plays above the level of his age group, he may be moved to an older group. CAMP COACHES, NOT PARENTS, WILL MAKE THIS DECISION. We CANNOT honor team assignment requests.
Award Ceremony
The awards ceremony will begin after the championship games at approximately 11:00a.m. Check-out will follow the Awards Ceremony at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Thursday. All campers will check out in the Vance Athletic Center lobby. Campers must go to their dorm room first and gather all of their items before they turn in their room key to receive back their key deposit. Arrangements for early check-out must be made in advance.
Wi-Fi Access
Davidson College does offer a guest WIFI to outside parties.
Tuition/Refund Policy
Full tuition must be paid at the time of registration. A refund (less a $150.00 administrative fee) is available IF notification is received at least one month before camp begins. No refunds will be made within one month of camp beginning, except in the case of serious injury or illness (less the $150.00 administrative fee). Documentation of the injury/illness will be needed before the beginning of camp.
COVID Cancellation
