Medical Information
THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR CAMPERS. In the event of illness or injury requiring treatment, hospitalization, or surgery, family medical insurance must be used. Parents or guardians will be billed directly for any medical care given at the Health and Wellness Center or local hospital. The University urges that campers be covered by some form of personal medical insurance. Be sure you provide your insurance company's information. The parent(s) or guardian(s) of a camper requiring medical treatment will be notified of the treatment within 24 hours.
Fees and Refunds
The $299 resident camper fee covers instruction, a camp shirt, housing, and all meals (from dinner on Sunday to lunch on Wednesday). Commuter rates are available. Call 814-949-5535 for more information. The full fee must accompany the registration form; paid by check, money order, MasterCard, or Visa. No refunds will be given after Thursday, July 28, 2005. The University may cancel or postpone the camp because of insufficient enrollment or unforeseen circumstances.
