** FINAL CAMP INFORMATION ** Camp is around the corner!
We hope you are enjoying your summer vacation so far.
We are excited about camp this summer.
This will be the last communication you will receive from us.
If someone you know has not received this email or if one of your email
addresses did not receive this email it is either because the email was not
listed on the application, I could not read the email, or you have not allowed

To correct this, please send me your name & email address to add and
be sure you allow emails & attachments from SchneckVBall@aol.com.
Thanks! In this email in pink highlights are
links to specific information mentioned in the email.
Also in pink are important things to remember.
Please review all of the information mentioned so that your questions are
answered prior to coming to camp. We have an excellent group of staff
members lined up who will make you a better player and your experience here at
camp an enjoyable one. Staff
bios are being updated as we receive them from our staff.

STAFF MEMBERS We would like to encourage you to do some
physical exercises prior to attending camp this summer.
Those campers who do nothing find out their muscles are pretty sore.
We are not certified to give you a pre-camp training program but would
suggest you do activities that involve the same movements & muscles you use
in volleyball. You can click on our facilities link to
see the buildings we will be using this summer for Dining, Housing & Gyms: FACILITIES
Camp will dine in the same dining facility as last summer.
It is the brand new state of the art dining facility, Mainfare Dining, in
Please note:
During the Session 1 check-in, there will be another group in one part of
the dorm but they will be checking out after lunch.
We have worked with housing to block off rooms for our group so there
will be no conflict. The rooms
this group is using will be cleaned and used for our Session 2 camp.
The group may or may not be around during our check-in.
They have activities scheduled. So,
in case you see some girls in the dorm and ask them a question about camp,
don’t panic if they say they are with another group.
You are in the right spot. All of the answers to most of your
questions can be found on our website at Bob
Schneck's Volleyball Camps and Clinic's Section.
Once here click on the tabs on the left of the page for information about
the topic you have questions about.
There is a link to a list for items you should bring to camp.
Please note the beds at the University are Twin Extra Long. So, your fitted
sheets from home will be too short. We
suggest you bring 2 top sheets or better yet a sleeping bag.
Typically the dorm provides a pillow and blanket, but these are
definitely not like yours from home so we suggest you bring your own!
ALSO please remember to bring a different pair of shoes to walk to
and from the gym. We do not want you
to wear the same shoes you walk outside inside the gyms because stones get
caught and will scratch the gym floor. So
bring an extra pair of shoes or flip flops.
Thanks! There are also links for Check-In
& Check-Out information, Commuter & Multiple Camper Info,
Parent Info, Travel Time Estimations, & Activities for this summer include:
Staff Match & Del’s Lemonade, Swim Night & Camp Follies
Night. The pool will be open for this summer so come prepared
with your bathing suit. For those of
you who are new to camp, the I emailed out confirmations to those
campers I received a Medical Form from. Please
do not email to check your status. Unless
you get another email from me, or a phone call, after this email, requesting
information, you are all set for camp. Room Assignments will be completed on
Friday, July 16, 2010 and will be FINAL. If
you followed the instructions you will be assigned the roommate you chose.
IF you did not request a roommate, one will be assigned to you.
We will assign you with another camper who did not have a roommate
request, who is around the same age as you, and possibly from the same area or
high school. IF you have a friend
who registered after you, or you found out later was coming to camp, and you
would like to room with them, both campers must send me an email stating they
want to room together and I will honor your request as long as I receive the
emails prior to Friday, July 16, 2010. Once
the assignments are completed, it is very difficult to make changes.
This is your last chance to request a roommate.
Once the assignments are completed, there are no changes.
PLEASE DO NOT email me to see who you have been assigned to.
I assure you, if you have requested someone and they also requested you
either by mailing in your applications together, emailing me, or a phone
message, YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED TOGETHER. Please see our directions page for
directions to camp. Travel
Directions to URI Kingston Campus You
should arrive for check-in at Weldin Hall which is #105 on the campus map. Campus
Map
We will have Fluorescent Pink signs directing you from Route 138 to
check-in. We also have a link for a
short cut to avoid the beach traffic which is on Route 4 & Route 1.
We are located in a tourist area and this road tends to get bogged down
with beach traffic until around noon. Here
is the link for the short cut: DIRECTIONS
TO AVOID BEACH TRAFFIC. You
can either use the highlighted ** Late Arrivals **
-
Campers
who miss check-in should call Lisa at 401-714-4806 so that we are aware of your
late arrival and can arrange to get your packet to you.
If we have left the check-in area we
usually will leave your packet, t-shirt and water bottle in the TV area of the
dormitory. If you arrive after
1:00pm you should go directly to Keaney Gym. You can use the itinerary to
see where you should go once you arrive. If you will arrive after the
lunch hour, you should make arrangements on your own to eat lunch as the dining
hall will be closed. We will give
your packet, t-shirt and water bottle to the camp manager.
When you arrive at Keaney just ask for the camp manager.
All of our staff should be wearing their If you are arriving at TF Green
Airport or The Kingston Train Station and need transportation to the camp,
please send us an email with your travel information and dates you will need
transportation. Roundtrip fee for
airport runs is $30. There is no
charge for the Train Station. We have a certified athletic trainer
on staff. She will be with the camp at all times and will be
housed in the dormitory as well. Please be sure to see her during
check-in if you need to update your daughter's medical information or speak to
her concerning any serious medical conditions/allergies.
If you need to give medication to her she will collect it to distribute to your
daughter at the scheduled time. She will also have a refrigerator to store
medications that need refrigeration. She will have on hand first aid
supplies as well as over the counter medications for headaches & stomach
upset. The camp will provide athletic tape for injuries that occur at
camp. If your daughter has an existing
injury or situation that needs taping you need to bring your own athletic tape.
The camp does not have the supply necessary to tape campers who come with
existing injuries. A limited number of rolls can be purchased through the
camp trainer for around $3.00/roll. Campers with food allergies: Be
sure to contact the Dining Services with any questions they may have about
the food that is served during camp. There is a variety of food stations
in the new dining hall to accommodate everyone's needs. The dining service
personnel will be more than happy to help accommodate your food allergy.
Please email Steve Mello with any allergy concerns: smello@mail.uri.edu
Once at camp, if you have questions about a food item and what it contains
please be sure to tell dining hall staff that you have a certain allergy
and would like to speak to the manager about what the food is made with.
Please do not ask the camp staff as we will not know. Our son, Cameron, will be running the
camp store again this summer. We
will have volleyball apparel, kneepads & novelty items available. The
store will be located in the dorm on the first floor and the room number will be
announced during introductions. We will have a limited number of kneepads
available. The store hours will be posted on the door.
Typically the store is open in the evenings after the tournament.
We will be open during check-in & check-out.
** The camp store will also have snacks & cold drinks available.
If you have candy, snack & drink preferences please email me so we
can have an idea of what you all like and can stock these items.
We appreciate your help! Hopefully all of your questions are
answered. If you have questions, we do best with email as we are getting
to a pretty busy time getting prepared for camp.
So email your question to SchneckVBall@aol.com.
We are looking forward to meeting you and working with you this summer!
Get ready for a lot of VOLLEYBALL and a lot of FUN! Please go to our
