UW-Whitewater Facilities
Facilities for all summer camps are among the finest in the country. The main hub of activity for the football camps will be the Williams Center Physical Education Center, the David L. Kachel/DLK Fieldhouse and surrounding fields. The center has a swimming pool, 3 gymnasiums, 4 handball/racketball courts, 60,000 sq. ft. fieldhouse and a 12,000 sq. ft. weight room.
Equipment
Warhawk Football Camps are part of a select group of camps that use helmets and shoulder pads. No scrimmage will be allowed without the proper equipment. We will furnish helmets and shoulder pads if necessary, however it is preferred that campers bring their own helmets and pads.
Check with your state high school activities association concerning their rule on equipment. Some states limit you to the use of head gear only and some will not allow the use of any equipment. Some states do not allow the use of equipment belonging to a high school.
Note: Participants will not be allowed to practice with eyeglasses on unless they are unbreakable. This is in accordance with NCAA rules as well as most states' activities associations.
Housing & Food
The residence halls are within walking distance of the football fields and the Williams Center complex. Resident campers will be housed two to a room. The dining halls are located in close proximity to the residence halls and serve three well-balanced meals daily to resident campers. Commuter campers in all camps will be entitled to lunch and dinner. These meals are included in the camp fee.
Insurance
Each camper will be covered by a group accident insurance policy. The cost of insurance is included in the registration fee. The insurance includes primary coverage up to $7,500 and $300 maximum dental insurance. (Insurance does not cover pre-existing injuries and is for accidents only.) Every precaution will be taken to prevent accidents. The Warhawk Football Camps will have a camp health supervisor available.
Registration
Final registration/check-in will be held on the first day of each camp from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. with lunch on your own. About 2–3 weeks prior to the start of each camp, specific instructions for reporting to camp will be sent to participants, as well as a list of what to bring and the residence hall assignment.
Camp Fees
The camp fee for all of the camps will be $300* for resident campers and $260* for commuters. This includes a $100 nonrefundable deposit. Fee includes meals, lodging, insurance, instructional materials and camp t-shirt.
