A $200 non-refundable* deposit for all camps is due at the time of registration. The balance of camp fees are due no later than 30 days prior to the first day of camp and are not refundable* after that time.

*Cornell strongly advises all campers consider Cancellation Protection (insurance). Cancellation Protection is available to all campers for $25. It is non-refundable and can only be purchased at the time of enrollment when the initial camp deposit is paid.

In the unlikely event that you have to withdraw from camp due to a family emergency, injury, illness or other sudden event, Cancellation Protection entitles you to a full refund of your registration fees, including the camp deposit (less the $25 non-refundable cost of Cancellation Protection) up to seven (7) days before the start of camp.

If you cancel within seven (7) days of the start of camp, we will give you a camp credit for all money paid. The credit with continued insurance is transferable to family members and is valid toward any sports school camp for up to two years.

What happens if I cancel and do not have cancellation protection?
The deposit, due upon registration is non-refundable, and any cancellations will result in the loss of this deposit. We do not offer cash refunds within 30 days of the start of camp. If you do cancel within 30 days of the start of camp, for any reason, the deposit is retained by the Cornell Sports School, and the remaining balance can be used for any sports camp for up to one year. It cannot be transferred.

EARLY-BIRD DISCOUNT
Receive a $40 Early-Bird discount when you enroll in a camp with deposit paid by April 15.
Sorry, the Early-Bird discount has expired!

TEAM DISCOUNT
If ten or more campers from the same school or club register together, there is a discount of $10/week per camper off of
the camp fee. It is preferred that enrollment forms for teams be mailed in as a group.*Discounts cannot be combined.

Please bring plenty of clean workout gear, headgear, wrestling shoes, knee pads, etc. You will need linens, pillow, alarm clock, towels and disinfectant soap (Dial, etc.). Campers must bring laundry supplies if they intend to wash their own cloths. There is a laundry room in the residence hall where campers reside.

Cornell’s residence halls are not equipped with air conditioning, therefore campers are encouraged to bring a fan. A swimsuit is recommended if the camp you attend includes swimming or has optional swimming sessions.

It is suggested that campers bring some spending money for evening snacks, the purchase of Cornell apparel and for go-carts/mini golf recreation options during the Technique Camp.


Check-in will be held at Robert Purcell Community Center in the early afternoon on the first day of camp. A camper orientation will be held following check in. The first session will follow camper orientation or dinner based on each camp's schedule. Refer to the camp itinerary (below) for the specific schedule for your camp(s).
