Medical Care

The University of Michigan Health Service , St. Joseph 's Hospital and the University of Michigan Hospital will provide full hospital services in the event of injury to a camper. Upon receiving your camp application, each participant will be sent a confirmation letter.  Medical consent and insurance forms can be found on the website and must be turned in at Sunday check-in.  If an applicant has any special health needs, a note of explanation should be included with their application.

Dormitory

• Wrestlers will be housed at West Quad. For more information regarding the dormitory, visit the University Housing website.
• You may choose your roommate at check-in on Sunday afternoon. We do not pre-assign dormitory rooms, so if you want to room with someone, please inform the housing staff at Sunday's check in.
• You and your roommates will be responsible for the condition of your room and the hall/bathrooms in your area. Your room will be checked before you begin your stay, and again on Thursday before you check out. You will be held responsible for any physical damage done to your room before you check out and will be expected to pay for any damages.
• Please mark all your valuables and make sure you keep your door locked at all times.
• Campers will supply their own pillows, bedding, towels, alarm clocks, and fans as needed. Housing provides soap, cup, and bed.
• Each night wrestlers will be confined to the dormitory immediately after the evening session, with lights out at 11:00 p.m. There will be dormitory counselors assigned to each hall for supervision.
• The first meal will be served Monday morning and the last meal will be served Thursday at noon . The Student Union commons will be available for Sunday meals in addition to a variety of local establishments at which campers can purchase meals.

Commuters

• Wrestlers driving to the camp will park their cars near the Indoor Football building (Oosterbaan Field House) on Sunday evening and turn their keys over to the camp director at that time. The car keys will be returned on Thursday at check out. Absolutely no high school student staying at the camp will drive his car between check-in and Thursday departure. Violations of this rule will result in immediate expulsion from the camp without refund.
• Commuters must purchase their dormitory meals through the University Housing website. This is the only way to purchase meals; the dorm will no longer accept cash.

Refund Policy

There is a $50 non-refundable deposit. If an athlete is injured at camp, the balance will be refunded on the prorated basis ( minus the $50 non-refundable deposit). Any balance beyond the $50 non-refundable deposit will be paid upon written or e-mail request.

Disciplinary Issues

• Any camper posing a major disciplining problem will be sent home without refund.
• There will be no drugs, alcohol, or tobacco tolerated at the camp. These will be grounds for immediate dismissal from the camp. All campers will be required to follow regular University housing regulations.

Wrestling Sessions

• Wrestlers walk to all activities in tennis shoes (carrying wrestling shoes). No wrestlers will be driving to and from sessions except commuters. All street corners will be supervised.
• Wrestlers are required to attend each activity. Roll will be taken and the staff will check for anyone who is missing.
• Wrestlers take showers at West Quad, as it is more convenient. Each wrestler must supply their own workout gear, towels, and any other equipment they may need.
• There are pay washers and dryers in the dormitory, which the campers may use.
• Equipment such as shorts, singlets, and T-shirts will be available for purchase throughout the week. Mark all your equipment in case it is lost.

Equipment

• A Michigan Wrestling Camp T-shirt will be given to each participant.
• There will be a full line of wrestling equipment available for purchase during the week.  Wrestling equipment, caps, shorts, several styles of shirts, and workout shirts will also be available.
• Headgear and kneepads will also be available for sale. Any additional equipment can be obtained within 24 hours from Cliff Keen Athletics.

Bus, Train, and Airplane Pickups

Wrestlers arriving by bus or train will be picked up free of charge. Please contact the Camp Secretary two weeks prior to your Sunday pickup and leave a message with your name, time of arrival, and if you are arriving by train or bus. We will return all train and bus people on Thursday after check out. Please plan bus/train return trips according to your check out schedule on Thursday.

We will also pick up camp participants from Detroit Metro Airport. Since Metro is 26 miles from Ann Arbor, we ask that you pay the driver $10.00 for pick up. We will return air travelers to the airport on Thursday afternoon for a $10.00 fee. Round-trip total is $20.00. Upon arrival at Metro, please follow other passengers to the baggage pick up. Retrieve your luggage and go directly outside the baggage area and wait at the curb. Wear a wrestling shirt or cap. Our counselors who pick up will also be wearing a wrestling shirt. Contact the Camp Secretary two weeks prior to arrival and leave a message with your name, airline, flight number, and time of arrival. Remember, wait at the curb for pick up and be sure to wear your wrestling shirt or cap.
