FAQs

  • Are there any discounts or scholarships?

    Due to NCAA rules, we can not offer any discounts or scholarships to the general public. However, if you are a current University employee, please email gennyvolpevbcamps@gmail.com from your University email account for a 10% discount code.

  • What happens after I register?

    Once we have received your registration, you will be sent confirmation to the email address you entered during registration. Additional information about the camp you registered for will come to that same email address as the camp dates gets closer.

  • When should I register?

    Many of our camps have sold out the past few years and are filling up faster and faster each year. Registrations are processed on a first come, first serve basis.

  • Do you keep a waitlist once the camps are full?

    Yes, we do keep a waitlist. Waitlists are kept in case of cancellations. If the camp you want is full, when you try to register, you will receive a message that you have the option to be placed on a waiting list. When a spot opens up, a member of the staff will contact you to see if you want that spot.

  • Do I need to fill out the insurance information?

    Yes. University requires us to have proof of insurance on file for every camper. You will not be allowed to participate until the form is completed.

  • I've already registered, but something has come up and my daughter can't attend camp. What's your cancellation policy?

    We will charge a cancellation fee (10% of the cost of camp). Notice must be received the day before camp begins. No refunds will be given the morning of camp or after camp begins. Email is preferred so we have a written request with date and time.

  • Where should I Park?

    PARENTS may enter campus at Entrance #8 (University Blvd and Stockton) or Entrance #18 (Rice Blvd and Wilton). Our campus map can be found on our Downloads page.

    Parents are welcome to drive by Tudor Fieldhouse on "College Way Loop Road" to drop off or pick up their child. Staff members will be out front to help expedite this process.

    Parents who arrive early or intend to stay longer to watch the session, CANNOT park their car on the roads. Please park in any visitor lot and pay with credit card. West Lot 1 is the closest visitor lot to Tudor Fieldhouse. A list of parking lots for visitors and fees is available at: http://parking.rice.edu/Content.aspx?id=177

    CAMPERS may drive to camp and park their cars during camp. They are required to turn in their keys at registration. They will receive them back at checkout. Campers are responsible for all costs associated with parking on campus. Please contact us directly to determine these costs. They are set by parking and vary from year to year and for the particular lot used. Parking costs must be paid at registration. You will receive a parking tag for your car that must be displayed.

    Our Volleyball Camp cannot provide assistance with appeals for tickets issued by The University or the City of Houston and will not pay for any citations received while at camp.
