We will provide a JMU Camp Coach for your team for the entire duration of camp.  We encourage your high school and club coaches to be involved as they would like.  In 2023, 92% of campers rated their JMU Camp Coach as either superior or excellent and 100% of High School Coaches rated their JMU Camp Coach as either superior or excellent.

Overnight campers will stay in Hoffman Hall and Logan Hall with two campers per room.

Map:  https://www.jmu.edu/parking/_files/parkingmap.pdf

1.      Park in the “W” Parking Lot behind Hoffman Hall (B4 on map).  Please be mindful of everyone checking in and do not leave your car there for long.  Do not park in vehicle service spaces, handicap, fire lanes or expired timed spaces.

If there are not spots available in the W lot, you may park in the “K” Parking Lot (4B on the map; it is next to FedEx/Kinkos) off of South Main Street – US Route 11.  Walk across the bridge (towards Gifford Hall) and turn right on Blue Stone Drive.  Hoffman Hall will be up the hill on the right across from the statue of James Madison. If you reach the stop sign, you have gone too far. 

2.      Bring your bags in and head to Hoffman Hall for check – in.

3.      Coaches, we will have your team’s room key/ meal cards, lanyards, schedules and camp T-shirts packaged together to pick up at registration.  We will give you the box to distribute to your team as they arrive. Please note that there will be a $30.00 charge for any lost room key and a $10.00 charge for any lost meal card. We are not doing check deposits this year, but we trust that you will assist us in collecting the money if there happens to be a lost room key/meal card. Thank you! 

4.    Our staff will direct you to your dorm rooms to unload and change if you are an overnight camper.  Please note that we do not allow males to go past the lounge into the dorm rooms.  We will have female staff available to help carry bags if needed.

ROOM KEY & MEAL CARDS

Please make sure each camper has $40 at camp in the case that they lose a room key or meal card.  There is a $30 charge for a lost room key and a $10 charge for a lost meal card.  Let a coach know if you have misplaced either and we will get a replacement asap.  If you lose your room key on the last day, we kindly ask that you stop by the table to pay the $30 before departing camp.  This enables us to not have to take room key/meal card check deposits in the future.  Thank you!

SPENDING MONEY

Campers can purchase Snacks, Drinks and JMUVB gear at the camp store.   We will also have a pizza night ($10/large pizza).
