Under the direction of Hall of Fame head coach Mike Krzyzewski and America's premier college coaching staff, the Duke Basketball Camp celebrates its 28th anniversary in 2008. As in the previous 27 editions, this year's camp continues Coach K's emphasis on fundamentals and a competitive atmosphere as the major vehicles to individual growth.

Participants in the Duke Basketball Camp benefit from a wealth of experienced instructors and speakers. A 12-time National Coach of the Year and the leader of three NCAA championship teams, Coach K is regarded as one of the best teachers and leaders in the history of sport. Coach K's Duke coaching staff serves as the perfect complement to his leadership as all three assistant coaches were successful players under his guidance.

College and high school coaches as well as players from across the country complete the nucleus of the camp's preeminent instructional corps, giving participants first-hand insight and training from the coaches who know what it takes to improve and develop, on and off the court.

Each five-day session is crammed with the type of hands-on teaching that will make a difference in your game and have an impact on your life. From beginning to end, campers are exposed to a high level of instruction and motivation that will assist beginners and experienced players alike.

EARLY ARRIVALS/LATE DEPARTURES • Unfortunately, the Duke Basketball Camp has neither the facilities nor the personnel to accommodate campers who arrive the day before or who leave the day after the designated dates of the camp. There are NO EXCEPTIONS.

HEALTH CARE • Medical emergencies are referred to Duke University Medical Center. All medical expenses incurred are the responsibility of the camper's parent or guardian. REGRETFULLY, THE CAMP DOES NOT HAVE THE FACILITIES TO PROVIDE CARE FOR A CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEM WHICH WOULD PREVENT PARTICIPATION IN SCHEDULED CAMP ACTIVITIES.

KEYS • All residential campers are required by Duke University Housing to pay a $65 key deposit with their application, which will be returned via U.S. mail after check-out day. Campers are advised to tie their keys into their shoelaces. Campers who lose their key forfeit their $65 key deposit, which covers the cost of replacing the entire lock, not just the key.
Please note: The key deposit must be made via a separate $65 check that campers submit UPON THEIR ARRIVAL AT CAMP. One check per child is required. Please do not mail the check under any circumstances.

MAIL • Friends and family are welcome to send mail to campers, which will be handed out daily. The camp address is:
Camper's Name

MEALS • The first camp meal is dinner on the first night of the session. The last camp meal is breakfast on the last day of the session. (Lunch is not served on the first and last day of the session.) The price of meals is included in camp tuition. Boarding Campers receive three meals per day. Day Campers receive lunch and dinner daily and should have breakfast before their arrival each day. All meals are served in the Duke dining facility located on campus. Snacks and cold beverages may be purchased from the concession stand open daily in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Only non-perishable snacks are permitted in the dorms.

ROOMMATES • We will try to accommodate roommate requests received 14 days prior to the start of camp. If a roommate is not requested, we will assign a roommate of approximately the same age if possible. Single rooms will be assigned to some campers and will be granted upon request.
No changes will be made on registration day.

SCHEDULES • Daily and game schedules are posted in each gym and each dorm. Game schedules are subject to change, especially on the last day of camp. Please check with your camper regarding game time if you plan to see him play on that day.

TEAMS • Campers are placed on teams according to age, size and ability. Our priority in forming teams is to have balanced competition. Therefore, we do not honor team assignment requests. In some cases, players are "traded" from the team assigned at registration to better balance the competition.

TELEPHONES • The official camp phone number is 919-684-8515. The camp line will operate on the
following schedule:
Prior to Camp... Monday-Friday (8:30 AM-Noon)
During Camp... Every day (8:00 AM-10:00 PM)

We request that campers receive emergency phone calls only during their stay at camp. If it is necessary to reach your camper, call 919-684-8515 and please leave a message.

TRAINER • There is a qualified trainer on duty 24 hours a day in case of illness or injury. The trainer will also administer prescribed medications if this service is requested at registration.

TRANSPORTATION • Transportation to and/or from Raleigh-Durham International Airport will be provided to campers who have made arrangements in advance. The cost for this service is $20 each way. We will also provide transportation to and/or from local Durham hotels and the Durham bus terminal for the same cost. More information regarding this service will be included in your letter of acceptance to camp. Campers who travel by air are required to submit their airline tickets at registration for safekeeping. Airline tickets will be returned to the campers when they board the bus to the airport. Most airlines require children 14 and under and flying alone to fly as an "Unaccompanied Minor" with various additional restrictions and charges. It is important that you check with your airline for details and fees to be paid up front with all necessary forms filled out in full prior to the camper's arrival at Duke. Our staff cannot be held responsible for any additional fees or filling out of forms.

Additionally, visitors may not accompany campers into the dining hall. Visitors are permitted to watch daily camp activity in Cameron and must sit in the upstairs seats.
