Confidentiality - Personal information about camp participants is considered confidential, and may not be shared outside of camp. This includes the identity of campers, staff and guests, any demographic information, medical information and any other personally-identifiable data about any individual or group of campers. Also, the University cannot release names or phone numbers of other participants, not even to those who want to carpool.

Medical Fees and Insurance

The University provides accident and illness medical insurance designed to respond on a "primary" basis with no deductible, as part of the program at no additional charge. This coverage provides up to $5,000 in benefits in the event a camper sustains an injury requiring treatment or hospitalization, up to $500 in dental benefits, and up to $1,000 in benefits for illness, after which the family's medical insurance must be used. The insurance provided will cover only an injury or illness resulting from activity which occurred while the camper was participating in Sport Camps activities at Penn State. Parents/Legal guardians will be responsible for medical bills for a camper with a pre-existing medical condition or illness.

Health Care

Initial assessment and care are provided by Penn State Sport Camps Sports Health Care personnel. Sports Health Care personnel do not dispense medication of any type. Initial assessment and care are available during camp sessions and in the residence halls.

Sports Health Care personnel refer medical emergencies and illnesses to University Health Services, Penn State Sports Medicine or the Emergency/Outpatient Department of Mount Nittany Medical Center. A parent or legal guardian must sign the "Emergency Health" portion of the registration form to grant permission for any medical attention needed during the camp.
