CAMP OVERVIEW & WELCOMEOffense-Defense would like to thank everyone for choosing O-D Football Camps. Our staff looks forward to working with your athlete and will continue to develop your player’s potential both on and off the field. Please be sure to read this packet in its entirety. Enclosed are important camp forms that need to be completed, signed, and handed into us at camp. There is also important information that both you and your camper need to know before joining us for camp this summer.

We welcome you to join us throughout the week to watch your camper’s progress; all we ask is that you sign in at a designated area to obtain a field pass upon your arrival. For security purposes, O-D camps have a closed camp policy, meaning that parents are permitted in the dormitories only on the first and last day of camp and are NOT allowed in the cafeteria. We ask that parents attend Opening Ceremonies, Parent Orientation, and Closing Ceremonies.

SLEEPOVER CAMPERSSleepover campers are dropped off Sunday and remain on campus until Wednesday after ClosingCeremonies. Counselors and coaches supervise them 24 hours a day. Sleepover Campers are provided 3 meals per full day along with lodging.The first meal is lunch on Sunday and the last meal is lunch on Wednesday.

EXTENDED DAY CAMPERSDuring the camp week, Extended Day Campers are to be dropped by 9:00AM and are to be picked up at 8:30PM at an area designated on opening day. Offense-Defense provides lunch and dinner to Extended Day Campers. The first meal is lunch on Sunday and the last meal is lunch on Wednesday.

DAY CAMPERSDuring the camp week, Day Campers are to be dropped off by 9:00AM and picked up by 4:30PM at an area designated on Opening Day. Lunch is the only meal provided each day. If youare at a day camp only location, you must provide your own lunch.

Wednesday pickup is by 6PM for all campers!

EQUIPMENT RENTALFor those campers who do not have access to equipment for camp, Offense-Defense provides the equipment rental option. The cost is $60 ($80after May 1st) and includes helmet and shoulder pads. Campers must provide their own chin strap, mouthpiece, pants (including thigh & knee pads/protectors), girdle, athletic supporter. These additional items can be purchased on our online store if needed.

Visit ODSTORE.com for everything you'll needto bring at camp!

ROOMMATE REQUESTSSleepover Campers will be roomed according to their age. On average, there are two campers per room. Offense-Defense will make its best effort to honor roommate requests but requests cannot be guaranteed. After May 1, roommate requests will not be accepted. Any unauthorized room exchanges will result in immediate expulsion from camp.

Should your camper be unable to attend the full camp due to illness or injury, you will receive 1/4 of what is paid less $175 for the next year’s camp. For all camps where the total registration fee is $175 or less there is no refund.

ROLLOVER OF FUNDSOffense-Defense provides a unique and exclusive offer to campers during camp. You now have the opportunity to “rollover” all of the remaining funds on your O-D Card towards payment for camp in 2021. By doing so, you will receive the 2020 camp price. Payments totaling at least $100 must be madeby October 1, 2020 to secure any discounts.

Please Note: To take advantage of the Rollover discount opportunity, a Rollover Form MUST be completed by the parent/guardian and submitted BEFORE leaving camp. Forms will NOT be acceptedafter closing of camp location.

FINAL PAYMENTS AND PURCHASESFull payment on all balances is due by 30 days prior to camp. Payments made after May 1, 2020 must be done using credit card or money order. Checks will not be accepted after May 1. Purchases and payments made at camp must be in the form of a credit card, money order, or cash. Please obtain and hold onto receipts given to you from any transactions made at camp in case any questions arise.

O-D CARD POLICYParents may elect to provide their camper with spending money for the camp store and evening snacks without actually giving them cash. Offense-Defense allows parents to put money on an account that is much like a gift card (there is NOT a physical card given to the player). The camper can use the funds in the same manner as a declining balance debit account. An O-D account card is recommended for the safety of your camper’s spending money.

Please Note: Refunds are NOT provided for unused monies/balances on O-D Cards. ANY balance left on the card MUST be documented by the parents’/guardians’ completion of a Rollover Form or used toward a purchase on Odstore.com, otherwise, the balance will be forfeited.
