Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 - I've been to Ames UMC, and you only have two
hoops in a single gym. How do you expect to accomodate all the
students?
A1 - We have 6 additional portable basketball hoops set up in the
parking lot.
Q2 - What if weather is bad? Then what do you
do with the students?
A2 - If it's just a light rain or wind,
we'll play. If the rain is heavy or if there is any lightning or
thunder, we will try our best to use our single court along
with our community room for basketball drills. We had to do this
in each of the past 2 years, and it
worked.
Q3 - How is the camp free to the students?
A3 - Well, Ames UMC is partnering with Family
Youth Innitiative in making this possible. Together, these
two organizations are covering the costs. Furthermore, Ames
has sought out a few other sponsors in much the same way we did
during the first 3 years of the camp.
Q4 - Can students just come for a few of the days
and not the entire camp?
A4 - Yes.
Q5 - Can students show up late and leave early?
A5 - This is frowned upon, but will be
permitted. Leaving early will require permission from a parent
or legal guardian. If you leave early without parental
consent, you will not be allowed to attend any further camp sessions
and will be disqualified from any of the awards competitions.
Q6 - I know some students who would like to attend,
but they need a ride.
A6 - Notify camp director, Jesse Karls, at jesse.karls@gmail.com
Q7 - I would like to help volunteer at the
camp. What should I do?
A7 - Again, please contact camp director, Jesse
Karls, at jesse.karls@gmail.com
