Camp Acceptance
Applications will be processed by position on a first-come, first-served basis until the session is filled. Because of the organization of the camp instructional program, it is necessary to accept applicants on the basis of age level and position played. For this reason, applicants of certain positions and age levels will be closed out when that age level and position are filled.
Recreation—During camp, participants can spend their free time enjoying Penn State's many recreational facilities, including the outdoor swimming pool.
