Q: Storm King School has great sentimental value. Can we hold the camp there?
A: It certainly does! Unfortunately Storm King School is fully booked for 2010. We have a GREAT alternative location planned with excellent facilities and services. This does not preclude a return to Storm King in future years.
Q: Who can go to camp?
A: Any practitioner of non-contact Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do whose heritage derives from Grandmaster Son directly or indirectly. Q: This is a black belt camp. Are brown belts welcome?
A: Yes! Brown belts with their instructor's permission are welcome to attend.
Q: What do we wear?
A: We are following Chung Do Kwan traditions, therefore white pants, bare feet, and white or martial arts themed T-shirts are very much preferred, but not absolutely required. Wearing your school's T-shirt is certainly encouraged! Any protective equipment or applicances should be worn for medical reasons only. We will wear belts awarded to us by our current organizations. Uniform tops are optional for this camp. For camp photos during and after the last workout on Saturday, we ask that everyone please wear white pants and the camp T-shirt.
Q: When, where, and with whom do we check-in?
A: Check-in is available Thursday night between 5 PM and 11 PM. Check-in is with your host, Frank Coppola (Dormitory location to be announced). Late arrivals, please check in at the Degenstein Hall Information Desk.
Q: When do we get our room assignments?
A: Room assignments will be given to you when you check-in. The dorms provided by the university are buildings 15, 16, and 17 on the campus map attached to the bottom of the Faciliites and Rooms page. Keys will be handed out when you check-in.
Q: Who is going to be at camp?
A: Currently we do not have plans to publish a list ahead of camp. Please see the Contacts and Daily Schedule pages for some of the key people. There will be many opportunities to exchange contact information at camp. Some people are stating their plans to attend on Facebook.
Q: Who is in charge of camp?
A: There is no single person in charge of camp. This is a new model of cooperation among friends. The Camp Host provides some services and most of the logistics. Beyond that, we depend on volunteers. Every position is subject to rotation in future years, including Camp Host. Please see Contacts page for key camp officials and advisors. This camp is a joint, non-commercial venture; no instructor is paid and no organization is profitting off of another. Two independent auditors will be reviewing the camp ledger.
Q: What should I bring to camp?
A: A list of recommendations is attached to this page below.
Q: What is the weather going to be like?
A: Weather in Selinsgrove this time of year is similar to what was experienced at Storm King: sunny, generally warm but always a chance of humidity and rain. There are links for the current weather on the Location page. (Note that the dorm rooms have air conditioning - no need to bring fans!)
Q: What is the refund policy?
A: Your payment is refundable until May 20th, 2010 less actual costs incurred. Thereafter, refunds are only given if you find someone to take your place. The sunk costs increase as we get closer to camp. If you have any concerns or changes of plans, please communicate early. Please note that your T-shirt order must be received by May 24th in order to guaranty size and availability.
Q: Will there be any weapons training at this camp?
A: This is a traditional Tae Kwon Do camp, therefore weapons training is not included. There are many clinics in weapons training offered by practitioners who will be at the camp. During meals and between workouts is a great time to make connections for expanding your martial arts experience.
Q: Will there be testing or promotions at this camp?
A: After careful consideration, yes, there will be black belt promotions at camp at the end of the second workout on Saturday. Please see the News Post on 11 April 2010 for details.
Q: Who will lead future camps?
A: That is not determined at this time. It is our sincere hope that responsibility for hosting camp can be rotated among the various schools and that this model of camp can be applied in the future.
