WEEK-LONG SUMMER CAMPS  Dear Navy Water Polo campers, Our staff is looking forward to starting the NAVY WATER POLO CAMP and we greatly appreciate your participation! In addition to the obvious items (suits, goggles, towel, etc.) you will need to bring the following with you: 1. Insurance Card. If you already haven't sent it, bring a copy of the front and back of your health insurance card. We use a number of health care providers when needs arise, most of whom require such copies. 2. Bed linens- Twin size beds and are provided in the dorms, but sheets, blankets, pillows, and pillowcases are not. 3. Padlock. There are cabinets in the dorms, but if you have anything you wish to secure (wallets, radios, cameras, other valuables), you will need to bring your own lock. 4. DINING HALL ATTIRE: Please plan to wear shirt, shorts or pants, and proper shoes or sandals, NO FLIP FLOPS are permitted in King Hall where we will be eating our meals. 5. Notebook and writing utensils. Yes, camp is supposed to be fun, but you will also be learning a lot about drills and game strategy that you will want to write down and take back to your home team. Besides, a prize will be awarded for the best notebook. 6. A small fan. This is optional. The rooms have air conditioning, and it is fairly reliable! 7. A GREAT ATTITUDE!
