FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q – The application says that my $200 deposit is non-refundable. What if my son is unable to attend?
A- If your son can not attend for a medical reason, verified by a physician, $150 of the initial deposit may be refunded. The remaining $50 is a non-refundable administration fee. Please contact us immediately if your son is injured and cannot attend so that we may take someone off the waiting list. Refund may take 2-3 weeks.

Q - When am I officially registered?
A - Provided your chosen camp session is not sold out, your camper is officially registered when we receive your application and deposit payment of $200. If you mail your deposit, your son is registered when your check clears. You will receive a confirmation notice via email when you complete your registration.

Q - I forgot to send in my balance. Is my child still registered and should I send a check or bring it with me to camp?
A - Your son is still registered, provided the online deposit payment was successful or your mailed check cleared. Balance payments are due 30 days prior to camp. If you forgot to pay your balance on time, log in to your account and pay it as soon as possible. If you are mailing a check, please mail it at least 10 days before camp to allow for delivery and processing. Mail checks to The Lacrosse Academy, 209 East Elm St., Granville, OH 43023.

Q – Will I receive any confirmation after my final payment is made?
A – If you pay your balance online, you will receive a confirmation email of your payment. If you mail a payment, you may not receive any confirmation, but you will see it reflected in your account balance, which you can check by logging in to your account at our website.

Q – What should I know about the Medical Information form and Waiver of Liability?
A - The Medial Information form and Waiver of Liability are completed during online registration. All insurance information must be current. If you need to make changes, you may log in to your account and update the information. You may also print and complete a hard copy and bring it to camp registration.

Q – How are housing arrangements and roommates assigned?
A – We try to house campers by age and cluster them by school. There are staff/counselor rooms on each floor to ensure supervision and security. We make every effort to honor roommate choices, but there are no guarantees. Sometimes your son’s choice of roommates has requested another roommate. In these cases, campers will be housed close to their friend and will be assigned a roommate of a similar age. If this happens, please encourage your son to enjoy the opportunity to make a new friend. That’s part of the fun!

Q - How does an extended day camper’s experience differ from an overnight camper’s experience? A - We call our day campers “extended-day” campers because they have a long day. They arrive right before the morning session and attend every session that overnight campers attend, even the evening session after dinner. Extended-day campers are provided with lunch and dinner. Between sessions during downtime, they may rest and recoup in the air-conditioned dorm lounges. Day campers leave camp after the evening session at around 8pm. The exact time may vary from camp to camp.

Q – Should campers bring extra money to camp and, if so, how much?
A – There is a camp store stocked with sports drinks and water. Sometimes the camp store also carries clothing and equipment. Campers can also order pizza to be delivered after the evening session. Pizza is very popular among the boys. How much you send with your son is up to you. We have a camp banking system that reduces the incidents of lost money. Campers deposit money into their account at registration. As your son makes purchases, his account is debited. Any remaining money will be refunded at checkout. It is your responsibility to ensure that the initial deposit is logged in correctly.

Q – Should campers bring fans for their room?
A – The dorms are air-conditioned, so fans should not be necessary.

Q – What happens on the last day of camp?
A – The last day of camp involves some private lessons, team games, an awards ceremony and, of course, check-out. Parents may arrive an hour and forty-five minutes before check-out to watch the last round of games. Please let us know in advance if you must pick up your son early or late.

Q – I have learned that camp is sold out. Is there a waiting list?
A – First, call to confirm that the camp session is full. We will try to update the website and our phone message to reflect a camp’s enrollment status. Camps have filled up early the past few years and only a few names come off the waiting list. For this reason, register early. When a camp is full, the waiting list is established on a first-come basis according to the date you ask to be added to the wait list. Please email info@thelacrosseacademy.com to be added. If your son is accepted off the waiting list, you will be notified immediately.
