CELL PHONE POLICY
We do not permit cell phones, cellular Apple Watches, iPads, laptops, video game consoles and handhelds, etc. at the Cate Sports Academy. We believe camp provides participants a unique opportunity to make friends with other kids from all over the world. By eliminating electronic consumption during camp, campers are able to focus on the program and create relationships and memories that will last a lifetime! The Camp Phone # will be given out to all parents should they need to contact their child.
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING ADD-ON (OPTIONAL)
Cate Sports Academy offers an exciting opportunity for athletes looking to enhance their camp experience. Participating campers will be woken up a little earlier than their peers and will have a 90-minute strength and conditioning session on Days 2-5 with our EXOS style training. This program was implemented with the Cate School athletes over the past few years and not only have they seen increased performance, but it has also drastically reduced the number of injuries during the season across all sports. EXOS Style Strength and Conditioning can be added on for an additional fee during registration.
