Q. Will I receive confirmation when my camp registration is received in the mail?
A. Yes, you will receive an email with an attached document. The attached document will be a Word file called "confirmation letter". You should bring this letter with you to camp check-in.
Q. What if I lose my confirmation letter?
A. You can print off a "blank" confirmation letter by clicking on this link. However, you should send an email to burnss@umich.edu to determine how much you owe so that you get through the check-in process as smoothly as possible.
Q. Do we need to bring bed sheets to camp with us?
A. Yes, Bursley Hall does not provide any bed linens, other than a pillow, for camp. Our suggestion would be for each camper to bring at least one set of twin sheets to camp, along with a fan for the room.
Q. If I am a "commuter" at team camp, what do I do during the down time in-between sessions?
A. You can hang out in one of the lounges till the next session, or if you have a car you are free to go home or out to eat at a restaurant. The important thing to know is that you will be required to meet up with your team on the front steps of the dorm before every field session because your coach will take attendance and you will walk to the fields as a team.
Q. If I am a commuter at team camp and wish to purchase meals at the dorm, when and where do I buy them and how much do they cost?
