SUPERVISION, MEDICAL PROTOCOL & TRANSPORTATION
Campers are supervised throughout the camp day by trained staff members who are strategically positioned to ensure a safe and positive experience. Coaches and staff actively participate in all activities and monitor campers during training sessions, breaks, and downtime.
Most camps have an athletic trainer on site to assist with illness or injury. In the event of an emergency, campers will be transported to the nearest hospital and parents will be contacted immediately.
Transportation is not provided. Campers are responsible for arriving at camp on their own and being picked up promptly at the end of each day. Please note that supervision is only provided during official camp hours, so early drop‑off or late pick‑up is not permitted.
INCLEMENT WEATHER & SUMMER HEAT PROTOCOL
Howard University places a strong emphasis on camper safety, comfort, and overall well‑being, and the Nike Soccer Camp on campus reflects that same level of care and preparation. With access to excellent indoor facilities and a highly structured approach to daily planning, the camp is well equipped to manage warmer conditions while maintaining a high‑quality training experience.
To support camper comfort throughout the day, the program provides:
- Access to an air‑conditioned indoor court available for training, breaks, and meals
- The ability to move training indoors when heat or weather conditions require it
- Hydration breaks every 10 minutes, built directly into the daily schedule
- Indoor, air‑conditioned spaces used for lunch, rest periods, and recovery time
Weather conditions and heat index levels are monitored closely throughout the day. When temperatures rise, the camp will remain indoors as needed to ensure a comfortable and productive environment. Coaches are prepared to adjust training plans by increasing hydration opportunities, extending rest periods, and modifying session structure to best support campers.
With Howard University’s serious commitment to safety and comfort, combined with experienced staff and flexible facility access, campers can enjoy a well‑managed, organized, and positive camp experience focused on learning, development, and fun in all conditions.
