What are the driving directions to
camp?
The canteen is a physical store location varies based on the
facility, where we sell Five-Star gear, snacks and drinks. The
canteen is also a service that is provided to the campers, similar
to a debt or credit account. When you arrive on campus you will be
asked if you want to deposit any money in the canteen. Whatever
amount you wish to deposit will become the amount of credit you
have in the store. The canteen can also be used to purchase items
forgotten at home (toothbrush, soap etc.) because the canteen staff
will go into town each day to purchase these requested items. At
the end of camp any unspent money will be returned to you in
full.
Why should I
put money in the Canteen?
If you hold your money and wish to make cash purchases you can
but at your own risk. Any money you lose or that is potentially
stolen (left your door unlocked, etc) cannot be replaced. The money
you put into account cannot be lost or stolen. In fact you can
store your money with us and not spend any and have it all returned
at the end. The Canteen will also hold on to any valuables such as
plane tickets, I-pods, jewelry etc.
What is the coach to camper ratio?
Traditionally we have a 6 to 1 camper to coach ratio.
Cell phone use is okay during down time in the program (meals,
or just before lights out). Cell phones should be checked in and
out of the canteen, or locked in a safe place in your dorm room.
Any electronic games or audio players should be left at home or
locked in your dorm room. Our staff is not responsible for watching
your items during game play and instructional times.
What
other activities are offered?
All activities offered at Five-Star are designed with the
camper’s basketball development in mind. Station instruction,
individual instruction and game play are combined to help each
camper reach their full potential as a basketball player. In some
camps, additional classroom or on-court lecture time, basketball
video or other instruction may be provided. Each camper will spend
the majority of their time outside of meals and sleep, involved
inactive, basketball related activity.
No swimming is allowed at any of our camp sites, regardless of
facilities, as we do not hire trained lifeguards on
staff.
Campers stay at the College Dormitories on the college
campuses.
We generally won’t find out the exact dorm until the week of camp,
although the dorms we have historically stayed in are listed on
each camp’s individual info page. Dorm locations will be sent out
in the pre-camp update e-mail, usually about a week prior to the
event
Unless otherwise noted, specific camps such as Carolina Courts,
Louisville Hoops, UCF and Duncanville Fieldhouse will utilize local
hotels.
How many
campers are assigned to a room?
At most of our college locations, the dorm rooms fit two
campers. Some sites offer rooms that accommodate three and four
camper. However, since our dorm assignments can vary from year to
year, Five-Star operates under the understanding that dorm rooms
will house 2 campers per room.
We will honor roommate requests if space allows. We understand
that campers are, in some cases, traveling long distances and wish
to be roomed with their friends. With that in mind we will do our
best to accommodate your request. Please place roommate requests in
advance by noting on the application card, emailing or writing. If
when you arrive you are not roomed together, we will attempt to
room you together during check-in.
All other campers will be roomed based on age and home
location.
Please Note – at most college sites, we are assigned two person
rooms, so we will not be able to accommodate three person room
requests. We will do our best to put two of the campers together
and have the third camper as close as possible. Groups of more
than three can request to room with their team name or group name
and will be placed as near each other as possible.
Are the
dorms air conditioned?
Duncanville Fieldhouse- Yes
Baylor- Yes
Alliant University- Yes
UCF- Yes
Hampden-Sydney- Yes
Carolina Courts- Yes
Reinhardt College- Yes
Lewis University- Yes

RMU- 90% of the rooms are Air Conditioned, the non/AC rooms are
generally utilized for Overflow campers if we have high
registration the day of check-in.
Springfield College- No
Bryant- Yes
ESU- No
Fordham- No
Ramapo- Yes
Camp Wah’Nee – No (Bunks are generally cool during August)
What is the
supervision in the dorms/hotel/bunks etc.?
There are coaches on every floor of every dorm with the campers.
We maintain at least an 8:1 camper to staff supervision ratio. Our
well-trained staff monitors all activities including meals and
dorms/hotel/bunks.
All of our sites are open to coaches and parents to view at all
times activities are planned. However, we are unable to offer
accommodations or meals for anyone attending as a spectator.
Each camp, regardless of the minimum age requirement, is divided
into separate leagues initially based on age and experience level,
and then adjusted to fit the needs of each individual camper’s
skill level. Camps for 9-18 years old will be split into 3 or 4
divisions, including an “Ivy League” division for the younger
campers. Camps for 11-18 years old will be split into 2 or 3
divisions. Our NBA division is reserved for High School Varsity
players, and is offered at all camp locations.
Campers will complete stations and individual instruction within
their leagues with players of similar age and skill level.
Do I
need a physical to attend camp?
A physical and copy of latest immunizations is required for all
campers attending sessions at Ramapo College. There is no specific
form needed, the forms supplied by your doctor will suffice but
copies must be presented at Check-in.
All campers attending camp at Baylor University will be required
to complete Medical Info forms and Authorization forms required by
Baylor. These forms will be emailed to you prior to camp and must
be returned via mail or fax by a pre-determined date.
At all other camps, a physical is only required if you did not
pass your previous physical during the school year. If for some
reason you have not passed a physical -then we will need a copy
from your doctor indicating you are physically able to participate
in camp.
NOTE: For all camps, you are required to complete the
Parent/Camper Waiver form and bring it to check-in.
What do I do if I
have a food allergy, prior injury or am currently taking
medications?
Please let the Athletic Trainer know at Check-In.
Are trainers,
doctors, nurses or other medical personnel available at
camp?
Yes. We hire nationally certified athletic trainers that work
for their respective high school or college and have worked with
basketball teams and athletes. Student trainers assist our head
trainer at most camp sites, some sites will have multiple certified
trainers on staff.
