FAQ

Many of our counselors are former campers and junior counselors! Most counselors are college aged, or juniors or seniors in high school, who have proven themselves as responsible and awesome leaders and are eligible to be paid and work as dictated by local and state laws. Two counselors are assigned to each group: one group leader and one assistant.

Campers should wear comfortable, loose clothing that will allow for rigorous physical movement. All campers must wear closed-toe athletic shoes and socks. All clothing must be free of profanity, advertisements for alcohol or illegal substances, and generally in good taste. No midriffs or cut offs, please. Sandals and/or flip-flops are only permitted when going to or from the pool or water activities. Please, no skirts.

Camp provides basic sports equipment. However, campers should bring swim gear daily (if applicable). In addition, they are permitted to bring their own personalized sports equipment: tennis racquet, baseball/softball glove, cleats, shin guards, gloves, helmet, lax sticks, or bats. (Note: The camp will not be liable for personal equipment items and has no place to secure valuable items.) Campers should bring a backpack and carry it with them all day. Check schedules and your local My City Allstars Camp page to know what to bring.

Please make sure your child brings a lunch with plenty of snacks, a water bottle, and SPRAY sunscreen with your camper (SPRAY sunscreen is preferred for quick and hands-free application). The camp provides all athletic equipment.

It is understood that campers are to behave in a polite and respectful manner while at My City Allstars. Profanity, verbal disrespect, name calling, running away, etc., will not be tolerated. Moreover, rough-housing of any kind is strictly prohibited. When at camp, the participants must listen and carefully follow staff instructions. It is understood that the parents will remind their children of the correct way to behave, and if at any time they can no longer support the policies of the camp, they are encouraged to withdraw their child. Participants who repeatedly violate the rules and guidelines will be expelled without a refund. Parents may not upbraid, insult, or otherwise abuse staff and/or other participants.

My City Allstars is a socially interactive and intense physically active experience.  If you are unsure if your child meets this criteria, has an IEP or 504, or takes medication, please contact us. By signing up for MCA, you are telling us your camper is fully fit to participate with no accommodations. Please contact us if your child requires medication, special help, or has had behavior issues in the past. We reserve the right to cancel a reservation if we feel we cannot accommodate your child’s special needs.

Do NOT bring cell phones, gaming systems, or electronic devices that might become damaged, lost, or stolen. We want My City Allstars to be a screen-free zone. Students are not allowed to bring any kind of weapon to the camp (this includes Swiss army knives, etc.). It is understood that MCA, its staff and subsidiaries, and host location are NOT responsible for any damaged, lost, or stolen items which the students may choose to bring with them to MCA.

Counselors, staff, and coaches are carefully interviewed and vetted to ensure they’ll be a good fit for My City Allstars. All staff receive appropriate standard training, manuals, background checks, etc. Depending on the role of the staff member, they may receive additional specialized training, certifications, CPR, and/or first aid instruction.

Our average camper to staff ratio is one of the lowest in the industry at about 6:1. This includes counselors, coaches, office staff, medical staff, lifeguards (if applicable), etc. Each group has at least 2 counselors assigned to ensure both a fun and safe environment throughout the day while at activities or in between.

We vehemently DISCOURAGE campers having cell phones. This has nothing to do with us not wanting parents and children to be in contact with each other, but everything to do with what content campers can share/show each other. Once something inappropriate is shown, it cannot be unseen or undone! Please do not send your child with a cell phone, we cannot monitor or be responsible for what your child does with it. Campers can come to the office if they need to contact a parent and vice versa.

Standard summer camps run Monday through Friday, offering half-day to full-day schedules, with costs varying by location, length of day, and multi-camper/week discounts. Other programs, such as clinics and leagues, also vary.
