Camp
Trip Details
Attend our unique 7 day/6 night volleyball trip to the small seaside town of Boca Chica Dominican Republic. You will be put on a team with 15 players. Teams are coached by a guest college coach and Dominican Professional coaches. Players immerse themselves in volleyball and the local Dominican culture. Participants practice and play games against Dominicans.In addition to volleyball, time is set aside to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean beach located with walking distance where players may swim in the turquoise water or relax on the beach.
A day trip may consist of visiting Santo Domingo to tour the historic Colonial Zone, attending a professional volleyball game or taking a catamaran to visit a government protected nature reserve.
Volleyball is used to bridge a cultural gap. Teens will gain valuable skills and confidence by visiting an environment very different than they are used to. Players are exposed to the spirited style of the Dominican players. And have an opportunity to spend the week with a college coach both on and off the court where they will hear tips and insight into the college recruiting process.

FAQs
Do I need a passport and how do I get one?
This is one of the most important items that must be considered ahead of time. Yes, you must have a passport. It can take up to two months to get your passport application processed. For more information on getting a passport the Department of State.
Is it safe in the Dominican Republic?
Yes. The Dominican Republic has recently become a popular tourist destination for Americans. Dominicans are welcoming people and especially so with volleyball players. We will stay together as a group and players will have a buddy system.
What if someone gets hurt or sick?
We don’t anticipate any injuries; however in the unlikely event of an accident during a game, we will have a staff member present with Red Cross first aid certification during all baseball games. We have an emergency plan with a state of the art Health Care provider Hospiten. We have a nurse on staff at our hotel.
What kind of supervision will my son have?
We maintain a 5 to 1 player to staff ratio. During times that we are not participating in volleyball activities, players will be in groups of four with a coach.
What is the hotel like?
There are several facilities we use. All have clean, simple, double rooms with swimming pools surrounded by palm trees. We sleep two players per room. It is within close walking distance of the beach and the volleyball court.
What is the food like?
We eat a combination of Dominican and American food that includes an assortment of beef, chicken, rice and pasta. Tropical fruit (mango, papaya, pineapple, coconut) is in abundance.
How many matches will be played?
Plan to play matches every day with one day off for sightseeing.
What other activities will we be doing besides playing volleyball?
We will go to the beach, take a trip to the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo, visit a Major League Baseball Dominican Academy, learn Dominican volleyball training techniques and assist in a local community service project such as painting a house or visiting an orphanage.
