Standards

Participants attending BYU Sports Camps must maintain the standards of Brigham Young University (i.e., high standards of honor, integrity, language, and morality; abstinence from tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, and harmful drugs; and modesty in dress). A clean and well-groomed appearance should be maintained. Sport-appropriate performance attire is acceptable during training and practice sessions; tanks/shirts must be worn at all times, including over sports bras. Dress standards such as knee-length shorts and shirts with sleeves are enforced in other areas of campus and camp participants should be prepared to change into the appropriate attire as required.

The following are the responsibilities of each participant: Maintain respectful attitudes toward coaches, counselors, and all other individuals; demonstrate proper use of university equipment and facilities; attend camp sessions and activities; follow instructions; respect curfews; dress modestly; refrain from vulgar and profane language; and come prepared to observe the BYU Honor Code.

While cell phones are permitted at camp, participants are required to be respectful in their use of cell phones. Phones should not be used during practice or other inappropriate times. Participants must respect the privacy of others, including being courteous while taking photos and recording videos. Capturing photos and videos in restrooms, locker rooms, or other changing areas is prohibited. Failure to comply with these policies and to be respectful of the privacy of others will result in dismissal.

Due to safety and liability concerns, any participant found in or entering campus construction areas will be subject to immediate dismissal.

 

Food and Housing

Campus housing participants will eat most meals in the all-you-can-eat cafeteria.  Non-housing participants will eat most meals in the same cafeteria. There is a $2 replacement cost for lost meal cards.  BYU dress and grooming standards are strictly enforced in the cafeteria; therefore, please remember to bring pants, sweats, or knee-length shorts to wear at mealtimes. Flip-flops, slippers, swimsuits, and tank tops are not permitted in the cafeteria.

Campus housing participants are lodged Monday through Wednesday nights in Helaman Halls.  Campus housing participants who must stay due to travel arrangements may stay in the residence halls Thursday night and check out by 9:00 a.m. on Friday.  Meals on Thursday night and Friday morning are at the participant’s expense. The residence hall room is furnished with linen, bedding, towels, and a pullout drawer for valuables that can be locked (padlock must be provided by the participant).  Laundry facilities are not available. 

Security Rules

Participants should be aware of the following rules and precautions:

  • Do not bring a large sum of money or expensive items to camp. 
  • Do not leave equipment unattended, except in designated secure locations.
  • Do not walk alone on campus or leave campus unattended (without a counselor, coach, or other camp staff member).
  • Write your name clearly on all items you will be bringing to camp. Brigham Young University is not responsible for lost or stolen items. 
Insurance

Brigham Young University does not provide medical insurance for sports camps participants. Medical expenses incurred as a result of participating in a BYU sports camp are the responsibility of the family of each camp participant. Participants must carry primary insurance during camp or be self-insured. Expenses for treatment paid by BYU must be reimbursed to the university no later than August 31, 2026. 

Illnesses and Injuries

For minor illnesses, participants may choose to remain at home. Counselors or coaches must be notified in such cases.  If medical treatment for a participant is deemed necessary, Brigham Young University will attempt to contact the parent or guardian.  In the event the parent/guardian cannot be timely reached, the participant may be transported off-site to receive medical treatment.

Experienced athletic trainers will be on hand to treat injuries that may occur during workouts. For serious injuries, participants may be taken to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. Athletes are encouraged to begin strength, flexibility, and nutritional training prior to camp to minimize the risk of injury during camp. It is the camp participant’s responsibility to follow the trainers’ instructions.
