The enclosed sheets will help you and your aspiring, young tennis player prepare for their visit to camp this summer. While some of these sheets are simply for your general information, a few, such as the MEDICAL FORM, need to be acted on right away. So, please, look through all the sheets now to be sure you don't miss any deadlines. If you have additional questions, feel free to call me at (603) 646-0751. We look forward to seeing you this summer! Best Wishes, David Jones Co-Director, KJTC KJTC General Information '16 (All sessions run Sunday – Thursday) June 26 – 30, July 3 – 7, July 10 – 14, July 17 – 21, July 24 – 28 CAMP DATES MEDICAL FORM In order to attend camp, our fully completed and signed medical form must be on file. Please remember to include your insurance company and policy number. This is a requirement for your child's admission to camp. Please return the enclosed health form at least two (2) weeks prior to your start of camp. PARENT WAIVER FORM The enclosed waiver form must also be completed and on file. Please return the enclosed parent waiver and consent form at least two (2) weeks prior to your start of camp. CONDUCT KJTC reserves the right to dismiss any camper if their conduct is deemed unacceptable. No refunds will be given in the case of inappropriate conduct. CAMP CHECK-IN Both BOARDING CAMPERS and NON-BOARDING CAMPERS should plan to ARRIVE at camp between 1:00pm – 1:45pm on the opening day of each session (Sunday). Registration will be at the Wheeler Dormitory. Please check the directions below. Our on-court CAMPER EVALUATION BEGINS PROMPTLY AT 2:00pm. Please plan to arrive at camp in plenty of time to relax and move into the dorm. The first meal at camp is dinner on the opening day. To make registration as smooth as possible for both overnight and non-boarding campers, we ask that you bring $40.00 CASH for the Meal Card/Room Key deposit and CASH for whatever amount of miscellaneous spending money for the week. Dartmouth charges a $40.00 key replacement fee for each lost meal card/room key. The Meal Card/Room Key deposit will be returned to each camper on the final day of camp provided they do not lose their meal card or room key. DIRECTIONS **please note. The mailing address of KJTC is NOT the Wheeler Dorm address. Please follow the directions below. FROM BOSTON: Take I-93 North to I-89 North in Concord, NH. Take NH exit 18.

Campus maps available online at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~maps/campus DEPARTURE On the final day of each camp session (THURSDAY), PICK UP is at 5:00pm at the Wheeler Dormitory. WEEKEND LAYOVERS If your camper plans on attending consecutive sessions, they have the option to stay with us in the dorm during the time between each session. Staff is on duty during the time between each camp session conducting fully supervised activities. The layover cost between sessions (3 nights) is $250.00. Again, this covers our cost for room and board. If you wish to make other weekend arrangements, please inform us of what they are as soon as possible. NON-BOARDING CAMPER SPECIFICS Lunch and dinner are included in the non-boarding camper tuition beginning with dinner on Sunday and concluding with lunch on Thursday. Hopefully, this will be more convenient for parents. The non-boarding camper's Sunday schedule begins with camper registration as mentioned on the first sheet and ENDS at the dorm around 9:00pm. The Monday-Wednesday daily schedule begins at the Boss outside tennis courts at 9:00am with pick-up at the Wheeler Dorm after the last evening activity around 9:00pm depending on the evening dorm lecture/activity schedule. SPENDING MONEY Although campers will not need much extra money, usually, $25.00 - $30.00 is enough. They may want to buy t-shirts, hats, or items from the vending machines, but will have no other camp related expenses beyond the tuition.
