Homework
Athletes will be expected to keep up with their studies. Internet-free homework time will be allotted each
evening. Additionally, free time is available during the day to further work on studies.
Technology
Cellphones are not recommended for this camp. There will be a camp phone available for athletes to call home.
Calling cards are also an option. We do not want athletes to run up roaming and international fees on their bill.
Personal laptops are also very useful for staying in touch and doing homework. PCCC will also have a computer
on-site that the athletes will have access to. While using the internet during the mandatory homework hour is
forbidden, athletes will have access to Internet throughout the day.
