Camper Checklist
Are you signed up for the Youth Summer Camp 2010? If yes, then great! If not, you may register now using our online system.
Check-in time is 8:30 AM on the first day (Monday) of each summer camp session, and organized camp activity commences at 9:00 AM each day of the camp thereafter through Friday. Camp activity finishes up at 3:00 PM each day. We do not currently offer extended care in the mornings and afternoons, but we are considering these options as possibilities if there is sufficient demand for them.

- Berkeley Session #1 - Monday, June 21st @ 8:30 AM at Gilman Fields
- Berkeley Session #2 - Monday, June 28th @ 8:30 AM at King Middle School

Here is additional information for all parents and summer camp registrants.
Payment and Forms (***required for each camp registrant***)
Payment - PayPal vs. Checks
Full payment of the $175 registration fee is due at check-in at 8:30 AM on Monday. Our preferred method of payment is by PayPal, and it would work best to pay at least 1 day in advance. To submit an electronic payment to us via PayPal, login to your account, then from the Parent Home Page click on the "Account Statement" link. Follow the remaining instructions on your Account Statement.
Forms - Liability Waiver and Medical Authorization
Two forms are also due at check-in for each child registered: 1) a signed liability waiver and 2) a signed medical authorization form. NOTE: You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to open and print these documents.
- PDF Form 1 - Liability Waiver (print and sign one for each child registered)
- PDF Form 2 - Medical Authorization Form (print and sign one for each child registered)
Please print, fill out, and sign these documents in advance of your arrival.
Attire and Equipment
The recommended attire and equipment for Ultimate is most similar to soccer: cleated shoes, comfortable cotton socks, loose-fitting shorts, and a t-shirt. Whether or not you play soccer, however, we have some Ultimate-specific recommendations for you.
Shoes - Rubber-Soled Cleats or Turf Shoes
Rubber-soled cleats designed specifically for field sports (e.g., soccer, baseball / softball, lacrosse, field hockey) will work best. Many Ultimate players also find turf shoes to be quite comfortable and effective. If you do not have cleats or turf shoes, then the next best alternative would be cross-trainers. We do not recommend flat running shoes or basketball high-tops (too slippery on the artificial turf), and we absolutely do not allow metal spikes (too dangerous / not permitted by ground rules at the facilities we've rented).
T-Shirts - "lights and darks"
Please bring two t-shirts of your own to each day of camp: one that is white, and one that is dark-colored (not gray). In Ultimate, games at all levels are usually played as "lights vs. darks"; far less common is the usage of colored see-through vests as you might see in other field sports.
Discs
Although the sport is informally referred to as "ultimate frisbee," in Ultimate we play with a regulation 175g disc that meets specific standards. Along with your t-shirt, you will get a regulation Ultimate disc. You may leave your typical department store "frisbees" at home.
Sun Protection & Water
You will be outdoors for 5 or more hours each day. Sunglasses that fit snugly in a "wrap-around" style, or with ear loops, would work best. Sunblock is absolutely essential, as *** the amount of shade available varies by location ***. We will have some water coolers on site, but we also recommend that everyone brings his/her own water bottle pre-filled with water from home.
Caps & Visors
Unlike in soccer and some other field sports, it is fairly common to wear a baseball-style cap or visor while playing Ultimate. The choice to wear either one in Ultimate is a personal one, and we do not really have a recommendation one way or the other. If you have a favorite baseball cap or visor, bring it.
