FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does it mean if a session is SOLD OUT and I register for the WAITLIST? Sometimes campers that have signed up for camp do not show up. We will then fill that spot with the campers who registered and were put on the waitlist. Spots are filled by division. For example, if a camper in the 4th-6th grade age group does not show then the first camper in that age group on the waitlist will fill the spot.
Should my son/daughter bring a ball to camp? No, we provide plenty of girls and boys basketballs so there is no need to bring your own . Plus, this prevents your personal ball from getting lost.
How are the campers grouped? We take into consideration the age and skill level. Generally younger campers are grouped together and the older campers are grouped together. The Edison coaches will watch and move any campers that are considerably out of place.
My young son/daughter is better than their age level, will they be challenged? Of course! Edison coaches evaluate them and for our younger highly skilled campers they will be asked if they want to join the Pro Division. They will get a chance to play a game or two at the higher division and if they prefer that it will become their new division.
What if my son/daughter is just a beginner? That's okay! We will be teaching fundamentals of the game while having fun.
Will there be Edison boys or girls basketball players as counselors? Both! Both girls and boys players are involved in the camp.
If I want to come and watch my son/daughter for a while during camp, may I? Definitely! All parents are welcome to watch. But be careful! We do use the entire gym for mostly all of our competitions and games so there will be campers and basketballs everywhere.
Is there a schedule I can have? Yes, daily camp schedules are placed on the check in table each morning. Feel free to take one with you!
I want to give my son/daughter money for food but I worry about them losing it. What should I do? We have a "camp bank" to make it easier for the parents and the campers. You can add as much money to their bank account and we will hold on to the money. Each morning you can check how much money is left in their account and add more if needed. At the end of camp if there is money left over in their account it will be returned.
Is there anything else sold at the concession stand besides pizza? There is no other hot food sold at the concession stand but we do sell chips, cookies, Gatorade, water and the camper favorite, ice pops!
Can campers bring their own lunch, water or Gatorade? Yes, although water is the only thing allowed around the courts in the main gym. There is a small area in the corner of the main gym where campers can keep and drink their Gatorade but we would advise that they write their name on it. They can keep their lunch, water bottle or Gatorade in the lunch classroom.
I've never been to Edison, how do I get to the gym? Park at entrance 13. Once you enter the building turn left and the gym is right there!
What if my son/daughter wants to bring an electronic device? Campers will have time to be on their electronic devices during lunch, otherwise their devices should be in a backpack or lunch box. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR STOLEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
