2. Rich Falk is involved
in all aspects of the camp. He and
his son, Geoff, organize the camp and
are on-site 24 hours a day. They and
their wives stay in the dorm with the
campers as does their whole staff.
Rich is in front of the campers instructing
throughout the day and is in the gym
with the campers.

3. Parents are welcome
to visit at any time. Typically, they
choose to visit the gym in the evening
to watch the games, but they are welcome
at any time.

4. We organize the
campers into divisions based on age,
size, and ability to make the divisions
well balanced.

5. Your son can request
one roommate and we make every attempt
to satisfy that request. If several
friends want to be near each other,
we put them in rooms near each other.

6. Each room has two beds for two campers. We are not allowed to put three campers in a two person bedroom. If several friends attend camp, we put them in rooms near each other.

8. We advertise that
we have a minimum ratio of 10 campers
to every one staff person, but we actually
have even better supervision with a
ratio of more like 7 campers to each
staff person.

9. This happens fairly
often and is not a problem. Any such
conflicts should be directed to Susan
Falk (Rich's wife) and she will keep
track of these conflicts and when your
son will leave and return. Please contact
her on or before the first day of camp
to alert her of your son's situation.

10. We are very proud
of our staff. Most of our staff return
to work with us year after year. Some
of our coaches and division heads have
been with us for 30 plus years. That
continuity and familiarity is a great
benefit to our campers. We have at least one Athletic Trainer on site 24 hours a day.
Our counselors are typically
former campers who we have developed
a relationship with over the years
and know our expectations. This continuity
helps preserve a "family" feel
to our camp. Our staff knows our program,
philosophy, and goals and they arrive
at camp excited to be back.
