USSC Company Policies

US Sports Camps is committed to making camps a safe environment and positive experience for all campers and staff. Please review our general company policies listed below.

CANCELLATION POLICY*

If you need to cancel for any reason up until 24 hours prior to camp check-in, you will receive a camp credit voucher for tuition fees paid. The voucher is good through the following year for any sport camp with available capacity and is transferable to any immediate family member. Participants who DO NOT attend their registered session (no-shows for any reason) or who do not contact USSC to cancel at least 24 hours prior to camp check-in will not receive a voucher or refund. When redeeming your voucher, enrollment restrictions related to the particular sport camp apply.

After the 24-hour cancellation window has expired, no refunds or vouchers for camp fees paid will be issued for voluntary withdrawal, schedule conflicts, or behavioral dismissal. Vouchers will be considered for cancellations due to family emergencies, illness, or injury upon receipt of required documentation such as physician's notes, medical records, etc.

Cash refunds are given only if Cancellation Protection was purchased at the time of registration and the cancellation is made before your balance due date (see terms below).

These policies are in place to account for camp fees associated with each registration that is made in advance of the program. Camper waives any and all damages that may otherwise arise out of any camp cancellation and agrees to accept as liquidated damages said registration fees.

*Please Note: Nike Junior Golf Camps, Nike Adult Golf Camps, Nike Adult Tennis Camps, Nike Adult Pickleball Camps, Seattle University, Stanford Camps, Bill Pilat Goalie School, St Andrews Golf Camp, Premier Golf Academy Camps, Peak Performance Swim Camps, US Baseball/Softball Academy, and NBC Camps fall under a different policy. Please click the appropriate link or visit the camp page for details.

Cancellation Protection

US Sports Camps offers our camp families Cancellation Protection for $100 per session, due at the time of registration. Cancellation Protection entitles you to a full refund of your camp tuition fees paid to date if you cancel for any reason before your final payment date (the first day of the month prior to the month of your camp start date, i.e., final pay date is May 1st if your camp date begins in the month of June). Please note: $100 Cancellation Protection and Registration Fee are non-refundable.

With Cancellation Protection, if you cancel after your final payment due date and at least 24 hours prior to camp check-in, you will receive a camp credit voucher good through the following year that is transferable to any immediate family member and may be used for any sport.

*Cancellation Protection is not available for any Stanford Camp. Please call for details.

Cancellation Due to Inclement Weather

In the event a camp day is cancelled or camp hours are adjusted due to inclement weather, we will make every effort to provide make-up time. If make-up time is not possible, no refund will be issued for the first cancelled day or any shortened hours. If additional full days are cancelled and cannot be rescheduled, a pro-rated camp credit voucher will be issued for each cancelled day beyond the first.

CAMP TUITION PAYMENTS

Full payment of camp fees must be completed by the first day of the month before camp. For example:

June camps: final payment is due by May 1
July camps: final payment is due by June 1
August camps: final payment is due by July 1

Any camper with an unpaid balance 10 days before camp will forfeit all camp fees paid to date and be removed from the camp.

Your confirmation email shows your balance due and the balance due date. Final payments can be made through the US Sports Camps Customer Portal or by phone at 1-800-645-3226.

HEALTH, SAFETY, AND LIABILITY

By registering for a youth camp, the parent/guardian of the youth participant agrees to the terms included in the USSC Health & Release Forms (Youth). By registering for an adult camp, the participant agrees to the terms included in the USSC Health and Release Forms (Adult). The parents/guardians of youth participants and adult participants understand it is their responsibility to complete the required forms prior to camp.

PARTICIPATION STANDARDS

As a camper, you're joining a community built on Fun, Respect, Responsibility, and Sportsmanship. These Participation Standards are designed to help all camps provide a safe, positive, and inclusive environment for everyone. Each independently operated camp is responsible for implementing standards and may set additional rules or procedures specific to their location.

PARTICIPATION & ATTENDANCE

Campers are expected to participate fully and stay with their assigned group.
If you feel sick, injured, or uncomfortable or have concerns about groupings or activities, please speak with a staff member right away.
Leaving camp early requires permission from the Camp Director.
Refunds are not issued for missed participation, including illness or injury.

BEHAVIOR & CONDUCT

Treat everyone (campers, staff, and facility personnel) with kindness and respect.
Bullying, harassment (including racist, discriminatory, or sexual), teasing, threats, violence, theft, or abuse of any kind will not be tolerated.

TECHNOLOGY & DEVICES

To promote focus and engagement, cell phones and personal devices should be used only during approved times or in designated areas.
Any digital content must be age-appropriate and align with camp values. Inappropriate content (violent, sexual, discriminatory, or illegal) is strictly prohibited.
One-on-one communication between campers and camp staff is not permitted (e.g., phone, text, email, or social media).

PROPERTY & SAFETY

Leave valuables at home. The Camp Director, USSC, Nike USA, Inc., and host facilities are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Respect all camp and host property. Damage, vandalism, or misuse will result in charges to the camper’s family.
Possession or use of tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, drugs, weapons, fireworks, or flammables is strictly forbidden. Bags, rooms, and common areas may be inspected at any time.

OVERNIGHT CAMP GUIDELINES

Campers must remain in their assigned dorms after lights out; any changes or exceptions are determined by the Camp Director.
Do not enter another camper’s room without permission. Boys are not allowed in girls’ rooms and vice versa.

Quiet hours, curfew, and visitation rules are strictly enforced.
After lights out, devices must be turned off.

Respect your roommates, their space, and their belongings.

REPORTING & ACCOUNTABILITY

If you witness inappropriate behavior or policy violations by campers or staff, please report it immediately:

CONSEQUENCES & EXPULSION

Campers who violate these rules, require 1:1 supervision, or pose a safety risk may be dismissed from camp. Immediate expulsion may result from:

Acts or threats of violence
Possession or use of weapons, drugs, alcohol, nicotine or tobacco
Theft, vandalism, or harassment
Sexual misconduct, hazing, or racist language or behavior

Parents/guardians must pick up expelled campers immediately. No refunds or credits will be issued.

LOST ROOM KEY/MEAL CARDS & PROPERTY DAMAGE

Unless otherwise specified on your camp webpage, we do not require a room key or meal card deposit. However, if a camper does not return their room key or meal card on the last day of camp, the parent/guardian will be responsible for all replacement charges from the host facility. In addition, if the camper causes any property damage to the host facility, the parent/guardian will be responsible for all repair expenses billed to US Sports Camps by the host facility. US Sports Camps will charge the camper's billing credit card on file for all costs due.

REPORT CHILD ABUSE

At US Sports Camps, we strive to create a safe environment for all. Individuals (adults and minors) can report any suspected incident of abuse or sexual misconduct at https://www.ussportscamps.com/report-abuse.

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION

USSC complies with all applicable federal, state, and local discrimination laws. USSC strictly prohibits and does not tolerate discrimination against campers because of race, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, ethnicity, sex, gender identity or expression, age, physical or mental disability, citizenship, past, current, or prospective service in the uniformed services, genetic information, familial status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law. All USSC employees, applicants, Camp Directors, staff, coaches and campers are prohibited from engaging in discrimination.

GENDER DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We Promote Gender Diversity and Inclusion. USSC believes that everyone attending its camps deserves to feel safe and respected. In furtherance of this belief, where applicable law and host facility policy allows, USSC will ask all Directors and staff to:

Refer to campers by their desired names and pronouns.
Apply gender-neutral dress codes, where applicable.
Offer the option for private changing spaces and shower schedules where possible.
Permit and encourage campers to use the restroom and/or locker room that aligns with their gender identity or expression.
Prohibit public nudity at any USSC camp or facility.
Allow campers to play and practice with the team that aligns with their gender identity or expression.
Allow campers to choose the housing option that aligns with their gender identity or expression at overnight camps, where applicable law and host facility policy allows.
Respect the privacy of campers by declining to comment or share information about the gender identity or expression of any camper.

ADA ACCOMMODATION POLICY

US Sports Camps is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible environment for all participants. The US Sports Camps ADA Accommodations Policy outlines the procedures for requesting and providing accommodations for individuals with disabilities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

WAITLISTED CAMPS

Due to the high demand for our camps, many sell out. Once we have reached capacity, campers may join our free waitlist to be notified if spaces become available at a later date. Up until the week before camp, our procedure for adding campers from the waitlist is to notify families by email and/or phone in order of their position on the waitlist. Campers will then be given a specified amount of time to reply and claim their spot. If we have not heard back within the stated time period, we will move on to the next waitlisted camper. If a space becomes available within 5 business days or less before camp, we notify all waitlisted campers at the same time via email to register on a first-come, first-serve basis.

COMMUNICATION WITH CAMPERS DURING CAMP

Campers are permitted to call their family and friends during their breaks and after hours, unless otherwise specified by the Camp Director. We do not allow the use of cell phones during training sessions. If you need to reach your child for an urgent matter, please call the on-site Director/Staff contact’s phone number provided with your pre-camp reminder email. Our on-site staff will put you in touch with your camper. If the matter is not urgent, please leave a message and someone will be in touch.

If campers have any concerns, such as grouping, homesickness, illness, or injury, please ask them to speak directly with their on-site camp coach or Camp Director. We are committed to making this a great experience for your child and want to deal with all issues immediately, which is easiest and most effective if done in real-time, on-site. If need be, parents may call the camp phone number and speak to a member of our staff as well.

USSC COMMUNICATION

When registering for a camp, you agree to receive email communications from US Sports Camps. Additionally, you agree to receive SMS messages only in the event of an emergency. No mobile or messaging consent information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.
