VALUABLES POCKET MONEY

Zador cannot be responsible for valuables brought to camp. We strongly discourage bringing any valuables. Although the world does not stop if you are without a computer for a few days, there is a computer room available with free Internet access that can be used during free time.

Students do not have much time to spend money during the day, except on ice cream or snacks before lunch and souvenirs, T‐shirts or presents on Saturday and Sunday during the excursion to an adventure park. Therefore, they do not need a lot of pocket money. We suggest approximately €10‐15 per day. If the student needs funds they may be sent by Western Union (not by bank transfer to ZADOR’s account).

the policy for each payment.

What does my tuition include? Room —twin or triple room— and full board (day campers only receive lunch

Free time Activity Programme

Travel, medical, accident and civil liability insurance

Is the camp in a safe area? Are campers supervised? Yes to both questions. The residence is in the suburbs of Alicante, in a very

quiet and safe neighbourhood, in the University of Alicante area. If

Basketball Camp participants have residence accommodation, they are

highly supervised. Only during their free time or during the time to rest can

they be in the common rooms or watching TV without camp counsellors,

who remain available in the building.

Campers must participate in all scheduled on‐campus and off‐campus

activities, for which there are always adult supervisors.

Campers cannot leave the camp premises alone. Only campers can go out

alone with prior parental permisssion.

How many players are in the same room? The majority of rooms are twin rooms, although there are several triple

rooms.

Single rooms are available on request.

How do I handle roommate requests? There is a question on the

enrollment form where you can

specify if the camper is tra‐

velling with a companion and

write the companion's name. If

they are the same gender, we

can accommodate them

together.

Can parents join the Basketball Camp? If you want to come with your

children and are interested in

languages, you can have a

Spanish course in the morning

and enjoy your holidays in

Alicante. We can also suggest

various hotels and activities.

Please feel free to ask for

further information about

Spanish programmes for

families.

If a basketball player comes with

a brother, sister or friends and

they prefer to take part in

another sports camp, they can.

You can review the other Sports

Camps in Alicante on our

website or ask for the brochure

on the Tennis, Sailing,

Windsurfing or Golf camps.

time for…?

Is there accommodation available before or after the Camp? Yes, this is possible because the tennis, sailing, windsurfing and golf camps

are from June 29 to August 17, and therefore there will already be adult

supervisors at the residence‐dormitory.

Additional accommodation is available at an extra cost, but the camper may

have to change his/her room at the residence‐dormitory.

The extra cost depends not only on the accommodation price but also on the

activities scheduled for the extra days, as participants cannot be alone in the

residence.

Is there a laundry service provided? The residence has a laundry room with coin‐operated washing machines and

dryers (approx. €1.5‐€2 per load) and players can do laundry in their free

time.

Are the campers placed into groups based on age or ability? Both. Coaches first divide campers into groups based on age. Then campers

are evaluated by staff as they go through a series of skill‐testing drills.

What are the ratios between staff and participants? At the training sessions we typically have 7‐8 players per coach, plus

additional staff on campus, including trainers, directors and assistants.

At the language school, there are 7 students per classroom.

Are all fees included in the camp price? Yes, except arrival or departure transfer services, lunch on the first day for

early arrivals, lunch on the last day for late departures, optional laundry

service, and personal expenses (beverages, ice‐creams, etc.).

All entrance tickets for activities are included in the price.

.

What is the best time for phone calls Although mobile phones are not

forbidden at the camp, they will

not be allowed at training

sessions or in language classes,

and their use may be regulated.

Please also be aware of the

possibility that phones may run

out of battery, break or be lost.

Campers have free time at: 8:00

to 9:00, 12:30 to 14:00 and

21:30 to 22:00. Please arrange

suitable calling times with your

son/daughter.

Parents, please note: If your

son/daughter has a mobile

phone, please avoid calling

every day to “check if everything

is ok. ”

Among the educational merits of

a teenager attending the camp is

the experience they gain of

being “away from home.”

Furthermore, if you are based

abroad, it is important that you

avoid night‐time phone calls by

taking into account the time

difference with Spain. Please

also be aware that your children

will be extremely busy during

their time at the camp.

All campers will be able to call

home on the day they arrive at

the camp.
