Camp Departure/Checkout

For Residential, Extended Day and Full Day programs, camp will conclude after the afternoon 3v3 tournament matches at approximately 4pm on the last day. For all programs, a brief "Closing Ceremony" will follow and conclude by 4:30pm on the last day. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to arrive anytime after 3pm on the last day to  watch the final day activities! Campers and parents should make arrangements to leave the facility by 5pm. Students needing transportation should not schedule a flight/train/bus prior to 6pm in order to ensure plenty of time for camp checkout and travel. Please see "Key Returns" below for instructions on turning in your room key(s).

Camp Meals
All meals are served in the on-site campus cafeteria typically located within a short walk from the dormitories or, in some cases, in the same building. Full meals are served at appropriate meal times during the week. Optional drinks & snacks are typically available for purchase throughout the camp week at non-ESA operated locations and vending machines are typically located in the dormitories but NEVER guaranteed! Food is abundant with buffet style service and hot/cold entrees daily. Residential/Overnight campers also enjoy the "Eurotech Pizza Parties" for those that are extra hungry pending camp location and availability! All meals are carefully monitored and supervised by Eurotech® Camp Staff.  

Camper Vehicles
Some older campers will opt to drive their own cars to camp. In these cases, keys must be turned in to a Eurotech® Director on the first day of camp for the entire time spent at camp unless prior arrangements have been made with Eurotech®. For liability reasons, there will be no exceptions to this rule!

Discipline At Camp
Players come to Eurotech® Soccer Academy programs to learn soccer. All policies of the facility and Eurotech® will be strictly enforced. No camper may leave the camp or facility at any time without parental consent and the drinking of alcoholic beverages, smoking, drug use, foul language, possession of any type of firearm or weapon will result in automatic and immediate expulsion from camp with no exceptions or second chances! Parents will be notified of any violations and be asked to pick-up their son/daughter immediately. NO REFUNDS will be made!

Key Deposits & Returns
A room key deposit of between $20-25 may be required at some sites. Please be prepared. The deposit is returned on the last day of camp with return of key. A Key Return table will be stationed outside of each dormitory or near the "Closing Ceremony" site for the return of room keys. All unreturned room keys will incur a "Lost Key Fee" of between $25-150 per key pending your camp site and will be billed accordingly.     

Personal Property
Eurotech® is not liable for loss or theft of a student’s personal property. Please do not bring valuable items to camp! It is highly suggested that you leave all expensive electronics at home!

Spending Money
Money for drinks, vending machines and laundry is recommended. Campers are encouraged to bring quarters for use in vending and laundry machines. Typically, change will NOT be available by Eurotech® or facility staff. There will also be a small Eurotech® Camp Store at registration on the first day where you can typically purchase extra uniform items, skill trainer balls and other items. Eurotech® is not a soccer retailer and does not have a "Camp Store" on site.

Extra uniform packages can be pre-ordered while registering and may be available for purchase at camp registration on the first day of camp pending availability after all campers have registered. Please note that Eurotech® WILL NOT be responsible for replacing lost or misplaced training equipment during the week of camp! The camp uniform has been a Eurotech® tradition since 1990 and is used to instill responsibility and a sense of "team" to all attending campers!

Cell Phone Policy
Providing campers with cell phones while at camp is permissible, however, cell phone use will not be permitted during lecture sessions, field sessions or camp meetings. Most campers bring cell phones to camp as most dormitories are no longer equipped with pay phones, however, there will always be access to staff cell phones and a general use Eurotech® cell phone for emergency purposes. Cell phone use is limited to camper’s rooms and neutral areas of campus only. Eurotech® will NOT be responsible for misplaced cell phones.

Roommate Requests
All roommate requests must be made no later than 2 weeks prior to the start of each camp session. Everything possible will be done to accommodate camper’s requests. However, please note that dorm layouts differ from site to site and may not always allow the possibility of honoring a request based on the requested number of campers in one room. Teams and Groups registering together at the same time must send an official "Group Rooming Request" via email to admin@eurotechsoccer.com and our administrator will place campers in the appropriate rooms. Goalkeepers enrolled in our Goalkeeper Program may also room with field players from Eurotech®. Eurotech® will always assign age appropriate roommates if requests are not made. Once at the site, no one can change room assignments without permission of the on-site Eurotech® Director. Please note that the camp facilities can change our dorm assignments up to the last minute, therefore Eurotech® typically cannot provide information regarding specific dorm information and room layouts prior to the start of camp but a general overview is provided under the "Facility Overview" pages on this website and Eurotech® always does it's best in providing updated rooming information upon receiving updates and confirmations from our facilities.
 
Accident/Medical Insurance
All participants must be properly covered by their own accident/medical insurance and must indicate such coverage by presenting proof of insurance on the Official Eurotech® Medical Form. There is inherent risk in soccer training, match play and the natural competitiveness that exists between participating players during the week of camp. All medical bills, regardless of their nature, whether for sickness or injury shall be the responsiblity of the camper/guardian and not Eurotech® Soccer Academy.
 
Homesickness
Experience shows that homesickness can be the number one cause of camper unhappiness typically in campers aged 9-11. Please discuss with your child ways to alleviate homesickness during the week of camp, such as specific times of the day to speak on the phone or by sending letters or care packages to them while at camp. Our coaching staff, administrators and camp counselors have lots of experience and will do their best to help campers through these situations and will always work with parents directly so that homesickness will not interfere with a positive camp experience. Parents are always welcome to visit their children at camp. Please see our policy below on "Campus Visits by Parents/Coaches."
 
Campus Visits by Parents/Coaches
Parents and coaches are encouraged and welcome to visit the camp at any time. If visiting during meal times, please be prepared to pay a guest fee for your meal which will typically cost between $10-12 per meal. We ask that you check-in with a Eurotech® Director upon arrival so that we can identify you and your child.

Camp Facilities
Our facilities include first class Universities, Prep Schools and Sports Centers/Resorts. Well groomed fields, ample meeting space and secure surroundings make your stay comfortable, convenient and safe. Campers will be assigned 1-4 per room in modern dormitories or hotel accommodations.
