Limited to the first 400 resident and 200 commuter registrants. Check in is scheduled tentatively for 10:30 am. Residence is scheduled tentatively for Bigelow Hall and Clem Hall.

Resident Camper
Resident campers are campers who will be staying overnight in one of the residence halls located on the UW-Whitewater campus. The residence hall has a secured entrance and the campers are monitored by the residence hall directors, assistants, and by our own camp counseling staff. Roommate requests are to be made at the time of registration and cannot be guaranteed. Requests must be made by both participants to be honored. Room assignment requests will not be shared until time of check-in. Continuing Education Services works to match roommates based on age and school/community. Every effort is made to ensure that campers are not housed alone. However, "no-shows" and uneven numbers do occur from time to time. Requests for single rooms will not be honored. Please note that our residence halls are not air conditioned. We strongly advise campers to bring a fan if possible. The bathrooms and showers offer clean, individual stalls for privacy. Resident campers will have three well-balanced meals each full day. Meals are included in the registration fee.
Commuter Camper
Commuter campers are campers who will drive back and forth to camp and will not stay overnight. They can arrive at the designated check-in time and location indicated in the Camp Information Packet. Commuters will not receive a room key for the residence hall but are welcome to socialize in the residence hall with friends during breaks. Only lunch and dinner will be served to commuter campers. Report to camp before the first session of the day after breakfast. The authorized driver can pick up the commuter camper at the conclusion of camp each day after checking out with staff.

Valid medical cancellations must include a signed letter from a licensed physician to qualify. NO REFUNDS will be given for withdrawal due to early departures, disciplinary reasons or no show after the camp has started.

Arrival Information
Check in and Orientation
Resident and commuter campers must use the drive thru check in for housing assignments/keys and to drop off medications at the location mentioned in the Camp Information Packet. Parents/guardians are invited to the residence halls to visit with staff members and ask any last-minute questions. Please note that there are no structured activities during the check-in period, but residential staff will be in the residence hall to help campers get settled in their rooms and encourage campers to begin getting to know one another in an informal setting. Commuter campers can socialize at the dorms and go with the group to first session.

If your schedule results in you arriving after the designated check-in or before checkout time, please indicate in your registration the time you will arrive/depart in the “Accommodations/Comments” field or email cesevents@uww.edu if changes happened after you registered. On the day of arrival to campus, check the schedule in the Camp Information Packet to see where the group will be at the time of your arrival.

The insurance includes primary coverage up to $10,000. Insurance does not cover pre-existing injuries and is for accidents only. The cost of insurance is included in the registration fee.
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 rules on equipment. Some states limit you to the use of headgear 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.
Event Schedule
Check-in and out times, along with locations and a confirmed daily schedule, will be available in the camp information packet approximately 3 weeks prior to the start of camp. Contact Continuing Education Services at cesevents@uww.edu with any questions.
Perkins Stadium
An archway designating the facility as the "Kachel Family Sports Complex" welcomes fans into Perkins Stadium at the entrance. The playing field itself also changed in 2008, moving from a natural grass surface to FieldTurf. Both endzones are marked in purple with white block lettering. The north end reads WHITEWATER while the south end WARHAWKS as a large Warhawk head faces the home crowd on the 50-yard line.
Updates to seating on the home and visiting stands increased the capacity to 13,500, making Perkins Stadium the largest in Division III. A state-of-the-art Daktronics video board accompanies the scoreboard. The facility's sound system was upgraded in 2013.
Courlthart Pavilion, located on the south end of Perkins Stadium and north end of campus, is used for many athletic check-ins and social gatherings before Warhawk Football games.
