What happens if there is inclement weather?
Texas Athletics subscribes to the WeatherData, Inc. Skyguard monitoring and alerting service. Directors are immediately notified when inclement weather is approaching the UT campus, and will remove campers from any potentially dangerous situation.
What if my camper takes medications?
The camp can dispense medications (prescription or over-the-counter (OTC)) to your camper. These medications include prescription medications such as antibiotics, asthma inhalers, and OTC medications such as Tylenol, Advil, vitamins, and homeopathic remedies.
The following items must be completed and approved before a medicine can be dispensed to your camper:
- Complete the Permission to Dispense section on the medical forms (included in registration). Please complete this section if your camper needs a prescription or OTC medicine while at camp, even if they are not currently taking any medications. No medication can be administered until a signed and completed form is on file. This also includes any medications the camper will keep and self-administer during camp.
- Inhalers: Campers should keep their inhalers with them at all times, including during training sessions and downtime.
- Epi-Pens: Campers with epi-pens should keep their epi-pen with them at all times, including during training sessions and downtime. Please give an extra epi-pen to the athletic trainer on the first day of camp with instructions.
- Deliver medications to the athletic trainer on the first day of camp in prescription bottles or marked containers that include the camper's full name, medication name, dosage and the time of day to be administered. Clear plastic bags (such as a Zip-Loc) are a great way to keep all medicines together.
- Verbally communicate medicine dispensing instructions with the athletic trainer on the first day of camp. If the athletic trainer helps administer medications, they will arrange times with the camper each day of the camp.
Before a camper can carry and self-administer medication during camp, all parents/guardians must affirm and agree to the following:
- The camper has been instructed on proper medication use and is physically, mentally, and behaviorally capable of administering the medication without camp personnel supervision.
- The camper has an adequate supply of the medication for the camp and can store and secure the medication.
- The camper will use the medication only as prescribed by a physician or according to dosage instructions. The camper will not share or otherwise provide medication to any other camper.
- The camper understands and agrees that failure to abide by this agreement constitutes a violation of camp rules that will result in disciplinary action, including removal from camp.
Any prescriptions that need to be filled/refilled will be first processed with the camper’s insurance provided a copy of the insurance card is on file. Please upload a copy of the insurance card (front and back) to the camper’s account. A camper that uses their spending money should bring back a receipt to their parent/guardian for insurance purposes. If neither option is available, the camp will pay for the camper’s prescription and bill the camper’s account for reimbursement.
What if my camper requires medical attention?
Campers needing medical attention will be treated by Texas Sports and Family Medicine (TSFM) or an Urgent Care facility. The camper and their insurance will be billed for an office visit and any provided services. DELL Children's, Seton or St. David's Hospitals will treat emergency and after-hours medical situations.
The camp will always notify parents/guardians of any medical condition, health concerns, permission for physician's visits, OTC medications, emergencies and consultations.
What are your safety and supervision procedures?
Every effort is made to ensure safety throughout the camp. Supervision is maintained at all camp sessions, during transportation and at the residential housing facilities. Campers are assigned to at least one coach and counselor, and are not permitted to leave facilities without supervision.
Experienced and certified athletic trainers are available to monitor minor injuries, hydration levels and sicknesses. An athletic trainer will stay in residential housing to attend to athletic training-related issues during rest and meal hours. For more serious issues, the University of Texas Health Center is available.
A trained staff member is assigned to the front desk of residential housing 24/7 to monitor the entrance and authorize entry onto the premises. All visitors are required to sign in. A security officer holding a current non-commissioned security license issued by the Texas Private Security Board will walk the floors of residential housing from 10 PM to 8 AM nightly.
Per University of Texas policy and human resources procedures required by the State of Texas and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), each camp employee has completed a thorough criminal and sexual offender background check and training for child abuse awareness, safety and reporting.
Youth Protection Policy
All summer programs involving minors at The University of Texas at Austin follow guidelines set forth by the Youth Protection Program (YPP). The purpose of the YPP is to promote the safety of minors participating in camps or programs on university premises or participating in those programs sponsored or supported by the University. All camps and programs work closely with the YPP Manager to ensure that every program operates in accordance with all of the university’s policies, rules and regulations, as well as the laws of The State of Texas regarding the safety of minors. More information about the YPP is available online at www.youthprotectionprogram.utexas.edu, and questions can be directed to the YPP Manager at ypp@utexas.edu.
The YPP Parent Guidebook will familiarize you with how the University protects your children while they are participating in programs on campus.
Campus Concealed Carry
On June 1, 2015, Gov. Greg Abbott signed S.B. 11, also known as the "campus carry" law. S.B. 11 provides that license holders may carry a concealed handgun throughout university campuses, starting Aug. 1, 2016. The law gives public universities some discretion to regulate campus carry.
The University of Texas at Austin and President Gregory L. Fenves take issues surrounding guns on campus very seriously and will strive to create policies that conform to the new law, protect the rights of citizens and ensure the safety and security of the entire campus.
S.B. 11 provides that after consulting with students, staff and faculty regarding "the nature of the student population, specific safety considerations and the uniqueness of the campus environment" the university may enact reasonable rules and regulations regarding:
• carrying of concealed handguns by license holders on campus; and
• storage of handguns in dormitories or other residential facilities
The law stipulates, however, that these rules and regulations may not either "generally prohibit" or "have the effect of generally prohibiting" license holders from carrying concealed handguns on campus. The purpose of the Youth Protection Program (YPP) is to protect all minors in their university-sponsored activities and interactions involving members of The University of Texas at Austin community. Pursuant to S.B. 11 (the “Campus Carry Law”), the YPP Policy prohibits the carrying of a concealed handgun by any person involved in a University of Texas at Austin camp/program for minors. This Policy also applies to parents and guardians who are visiting or transporting a participating minor to and from camps/programs at The University of Texas at Austin.
“PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY LICENSE HOLDER WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN), A PERSON LICENSED UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE (HANDGUN LICENSING LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN”
Please see the Campus Carry Implementation (www.campuscarry.utexas.edu/) website for more information.
