Residential Camp 2

LOCATION: Again this year, the Residential Camps will be held on the UAB Campus. UAB facilities will be throughout the week. West Campus Field, the home of the Blazer soccer teams, will be used for training. Campers will be housed in Blazer Hall, a new dormitory which opened in June, 2006. The dorms have air-conditioned rooms and private baths in each suite. Campers will eat all meals at the new dining hall. UAB’s world class Student Recreation Center will be used for various activities. We are excited about the move to campus and the “college” feel that will be a part of camps this year. Camp staff will provide around-the-clock supervision of all campers.

COST: The cost of Advanced Camp is $505 for residential campers and $455 for commuters. The cost of Elite Camp is $545. Elite Camp is for Residents Only. Campers can bring a ball from home or purchase a hand stitched soccer ball for $25.00.

MEALS: Campers will be provided with all of their meals at the new UAB Dining Hall. Commuters will be served lunch and dinner each day while residential campers will eat 3 meals per day.
