Dear Intensive Camper and Parents, Thank you for choosing to attend what we believe is the best intensive wrestling camp in the United States. The "Intensive Camp" concept was developed 24years ago by J Robinson. Since that time, many others have tried to copy our program, but have not been able to achieve the intensity of our workouts and the dedication of our excellent staff. At J Robinson's Intensive Wrestling Camp you will improve your wrestling skills, gain knowledge of wrestling, and become aware of the amount of work required to become a Champion. Our goal is to help you become the best wrestler you can be. Please read over the following information before you come to camp to be sure you arrive prepared. Feel free to contact the camp office (612/349-6585) at any time if you have further questions. Accommodations: You will be housed in a college residence hall, usually two campers per room (MN some 4 person rooms), (CA campers 4 per room). Shared bathroom facilities are located on each floor. We do not pre-assign rooms, so if you want to room with a friend, you must check in together on the first day of camp. Bedding will be provided at the 28-day camp in Minneapolis only. Campers at the 14-day and 10-day camps must bring their own bedding and pillow. A $40.00 damage deposit for your room and key is required. You are responsible for keeping your room clean. Any damages will be charged to you. The deposit will be refunded when you leave camp, provided your room is in good condition and you return your key. You should bring a shoestring to camp for your key. The dorm will charge you $40 if you lose your key. Meals: All-you-can-eat meals will be served in the college cafeteria. Laundry: Coin-operated laundry facilities are located in the dorm. Cost is 75¢-$1.00 per load. 28-day campers at Minneapolis will have access to machines operated by special cards purchased with paper money, so coins are not needed. Cost is still $1.00 per load. There will be an optional laundry service at all Intensive camps, please see the enclosed yellow insert for details on this service. You must wear clean gear to every practice. You will be working out four times per day, so bring lots of shorts, t's, socks, and jocks - there's no such thing as too many! If you don't know how to wash your clothes, take lessons before camp!!! Illness/Injury: J Robinson's Intensive Camp maintains a staff of athletic trainers to deal with minor injuries and illness. If it is necessary for you to see a doctor, arrangements will be made for you. Injuries are a part of any contact sport camp. If you acquire a skin infection, become ill or are injured at camp and have to return home, there is NO REFUND. There are NO refunds for skin infections. There are no refunds for canceling this contract due to illness or injury at any time. Check-in: Check-in is the first day of camp from 1:00-5:00pm in the dorm lobby. The balance of your camp fee and the $40.00 damage deposit is due before you will be admitted to camp. You may pay your camp fees by personal check, MasterCard, Visa or Discover by mailing them to the camp office at least two weeks prior to the start of camp. Use the enclosed balance due statement and make sure you return it by the due date shown. If you choose to pay at camp check-in, you must pay by CASH or MONEY ORDER ONLY. Check-out: Check-out is the last day of camp from 8:00am-10:00am. Flights should not be made before 10:00am (11:00am CA). There will be no supervision provided after 10am. YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE CAMP EARLY AND STILL EXPECT TO GRADUATE. Camp Rules: You will be expected to follow all camp rules. These rules were made so you can obtain the greatest benefit from camp. Failure to comply with all rules will result in your immediate dismissal. Your parents will be called and your immediate return home will be arranged. There will be NO REFUND under these circumstances. Cars: If you drive to camp, your car keys must be turned over to camp staff upon arrival. A car is not needed during camp. Wrestlers are not permitted to enter any vehicle while at camp. Church Services: Wrestlers who wish to attend religious services while at camp will be permitted to do so. Mail & Messages: Please see the enclosed camp information sheet for the camper mail address and emergency phone numbers. Campers will be given any mail received on a daily basis. Visitors: We welcome relatives or coaches who wish to visit you at camp. They are encouraged to watch you train at any time as long as practice is not disrupted. If you will have visitors, plan to do something within walking distance - campers are not permitted to enter vehicles while at camp (even if accompanied by a parent or relative). Travel: Teel's Travel Planners is our official travel agency. Travel arrangements are made entirely between you and Teel's. Call Wendy or Sarah at 1-800-233-3225 (8:30-5:30 PST Mon-Fri) or 1-800-824-1028 in Oregon. Teel's will arrange your airport transfers and send us your flight itinerary. If you make arrangements through another travel agent and need airport transfers, you must mail or fax us a written copy of your itinerary showing airline, flight number, and arrival/departure times at least two weeks before camp starts. DO NOT CALL THIS INFORMATION IN. Any campers traveling as an Unaccompanied Minor as determined by the airline you are flying will be subject to an additional $20 gate pick-up fee for transfers to and from the gate. This is typically applicable to campers traveling by air 14 years or younger. You must check with your specific airline to see if you fall into this requirement. You must notify our office at least two weeks before camp starts if a gate pick up is required by your airline because he is an Unaccompanied Minor. What to Bring: Ample clothing should be brought for the duration of camp, including pants, shirts, socks, etc. Required Equipment: o Towels (you will be required to shower after every practice, so bring an adequate supply) o An antibacterial soap such as Phisoderm or Dial (necessary to decrease the chance of skin infection) o Laundry detergent & quarters o At least 10-12 sets workout gear.

Camp Store / Camp Bank: T-shirts, shorts, sweatshirts, camp notes, hats, technique videos, audio cassettes, Camp Workbooks, headgear, kneepads, jump ropes, and other wrestling related items will be available in the camp store. It is a good idea to bring your spending money in the form of travelers checks or money orders. We will have a "bank" where you can cash checks and store money, plane tickets and other valuables. JRIC Camp Workbook: We've put together a workbook to use as a reference and to keep notes in throughout the Intensive Camp. It includes information on topics covered at camp such as diet, weight training, cutting weight, motivation and goal setting, as well as assignments to help you in motivation and goal setting. This is a good way for you to keep all your camp notes together. It will be available at check-in or in the camp store for $8.00. It is also available as part of the ‘Camp Enhancement Package’, see the enclosed flier for details on this full package. There is no refund for pre-ordered materials. Skin Infections: In recent years, skin infections have become a part of the sport of wrestling. To be proactive in this situation and head off any potential problems that might arise while you are at camp, the Intensive Camp has initiated stringent controls. Although we realize there is always the potential of contracting skin infections in the sport of wrestling, these controls are imposed with the idea of minimizing your exposure to possible skin infections. Our controls are stricter than those of any other camp, but we think you will agree that this is an important and necessary precaution. If you have any questions, please contact the camp office. There are NO refunds for skin infections. 1) Precautions J Robinson's Intensive Camps takes to prevent skin infections from spreading: a) All campers and coaches are checked for skin infections upon arrival at camp b) Campers and coaches are checked for signs of a skin infection on a daily basis. c) Wrestling mats are washed with disinfectant 3 times daily. d) Campers must bring an antibacterial soap to camp, such as Dial or Phisoderm. See the Skin Protection Package Insert for more Information. All campers and staff are required to shower and wash with antibacterial soap after every practice. 2) If you have any skin infection, you must bring a letter from your doctor stating: a) His/her diagnosis. b) How you are being treated, and when treatment began. You must bring adequate medication for the full amount of time you will be at camp. (10, 14 or 28 additional days worth of medication) c) Your doctor must state if your skin infection is not contagious and you are cleared for wrestling. **If you have a skin infection and do not bring a signed Doctor's statement, you will NOT be allowed to wrestle. 3) Ringworm: If you have an outbreak of ringworm, you MUST be treating it with medication from your doctor. Treatment must have been started at least 5 days before camp starts. Bring an adequate supply of medication, and a refill prescription. You will not be allowed to wrestle until cleared by a doctor. 4) Herpes Gladiatorium: These guidelines apply to any wrestler diagnosed with herpes, even if the virus is dormant, non-contagious, and you do not currently have an outbreak. Due to the exhausting and stressful nature of our camp, it is very important that you are taking your medication - we want you to get through camp without an outbreak, and we do not want you to infect other campers. a) You must take Zovirax or Valtrex daily - beginning at least 5 days before camp starts, and continuing every day while you are at camp. Plan for this and make sure you have a prescription for the quantity of pills you will need. Even if you don't have an outbreak, you will not be allowed to wrestle if you have not been taking medication for at least 5 days. b) If you have a herpes outbreak while you are at camp, you must notify the trainers immediately and stop wrestling. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO WRESTLE WITH A HERPES OUTBREAK. 5) Impetigo or Staph infection - Wrestlers infected with impetigo or staph will NOT be allowed to wrestle until cleared by a doctor. A Note to Parents.... J Robinson's Intensive Wrestling Camp is a highly motivating and demanding camp. It is not like any other wrestling camp in the country, although other camps may use the "Intensive Camp" name. One of our main goals is to push wrestlers through hard physical exercise. In making our camp demanding, we work to develop a positive mental attitude in the wrestlers who attend. We want you to be aware of the amount of work and dedication that is required for your son to graduate from our camp. Everything required of your camper at camp is done with the idea of each wrestler improving as much as possible – both physically and mentally. We think you will be impressed by your camper's attitude when he returns home from his Intensive Camp experience. We welcome your questions and comments – please contact the camp office if you need more information. Insurance: There is a non-duplicating $10,000 accidental injury policy ($100 deductible) which covers each wrestler while at camp. This is a second payer policy in excess of any other medical coverage you may already have. If you do not have primary insurance, this policy will become the primary payer with a $100 deductible, which is your responsibility. The policy covers injuries, but does not cover illness. If your son sees a doctor while at camp, all medical bills will be sent directly to your home. First submit them to your own insurance company. If your insurance denies all or partial payment, then contact the camp office at (612) 349-6585 to file a claim through our insurance company. All claims must be submitted within 90 days after camp ends. All unpaid medical bills are your responsibility. Medical History & Emergency Information Forms: Please fill out the enclosed Medical History and Emergency Information forms. The medical history form does not need to be completed by a physician if your son has had a physical examination within the past year. All of the information requested is needed in order to provide the best possible medical care if it becomes necessary. Unfortunately, emergencies do happen. If your son is ill or injured at camp with this form properly filled you, he will not have to wait for medical attention until you have been contacted. This information is vital - please provide an accurate account of phone numbers where you can be reached while your son is at camp. Please do not send your son to camp with any type of infection. If an infection is detected, he will not be allowed to participate in camp. PLEASE RETURN THE MEDICAL HISTORY & EMERGENCY INFORMATION FORMS WITH YOUR FINAL PAYMENT. NO WRESTLER WILL BE ADMITTED TO CAMP WITHOUT THE SIGNED MEDICAL HISTORY FORM. Looking forward to seeing you at camp,
