    If your child is traveling as an unaccompanied minor (14 years and under), our drivers from Elite Executive Transportation will coordinate details with you to ensure the driver will be listed as the person designated to make the pick-up. Unaccompanied minors using our transportation service will be charged an $80 fee. If your child is traveling internationally, we highly recommend downloading WhatsApp to communicate with the transportation team. Upon arrival, our transportation service will accompany your child from their arrival gate to the vehicle. For departure, the driver will accompany your child from the vehicle, through baggage and security, and to their departure gate. They will wait until the plane takes off before leaving the airport.

Dorm houses are not co-ed and we will assign roommates within the same age and in most cases by the same sport. Assignments are subject to change.

  • Can I make a roommate request for my child staying on campus?

    If your child normally handles and administers their own medication, they can continue doing so at camp. If you wish to have our staff hold and administer the medication, our Athletic Trainer will be able to accommodate your needs.

  • What happens if my child gets injured or becomes ill at camp?

    For injury, we will initially have your child seen by our Athletic Trainer to determine the severity of the injury and steps for care. Depending on the case, the trainer will recommend a pause from training, taping, or sending your child to Health Services for further evaluation. Your child’s coaches will be made fully aware of the situation. For illness, your child can alert any SPIRE staff for assistance. During evening/night hours, they will see their House Parent for help. During the daytime and normal camp hours, your child should tell their coach or any Camps staff member. We will have your child seen by the Athletic Trainer on site and determine next steps of care.

  • My child has a food allergy or dietary restriction. How do you accommodate this?

    You will indicate any known food allergies and alert us of any dietary restrictions on your child’s registration form. We share this information with our kitchen prior to camp. We encourage your child to remind our kitchen staff serving food about any food related allergy that could cause a reaction.
