    FAQ’s – ADVICE and RULES

    Frequently asked questions, Advice, and Camp Rules are all below. Anything not covered, please get in touch and ask – info@camprubicon.com

    WHERE ARE THE CAMPS?

    Skate Camps are located down South in Brockenhurst which is in the New Forest, in Hampshire. From our base camp we travel out all over to skate a variety of different parks. Outdoors if dry, indoors if wet.

    Scooter Camps are located in the Midlands, never too far from Adrenaline Alley in Corby. We go to Adrenaline Alley every day.

    The Camps are not based in Winchester!

    WHAT AGES AND ABILITIES CAN GO ON CAMP?

    Our Camps are quite intense, so we suggest the following guide to be considered:

    Our UK Camps are suited for those aged 8 and above.

    Our European Camps are suited for those 12 and above.

    Camps are not suited for complete beginners.

    Skateboarders should already be able to navigate a skatepark confidently and have started working on tricks.

    Scooter riders should be aware that we are visiting Adrenaline Alley which consists of some big ramps. Riders should have the confidence and skills to tackle these before coming on camp and also have started working on tricks.

    If in doubt, please call and discuss.

    All campers should be happy to be away from home for 4 nights by themself and comfortable to be around a mixed age group.

    REFUND POLICY

    Cancel more than 30 days before your camp starts for a full refund minus £60 Admin Fee.

    Cancel less than 30 days before your camp starts and we will have already paid for all our fixed costs and so there is no refund.

    ADVICE ON INSURANCE

    All those taking part in these sports are at risk of injury. For this reason we highly recommend families take out holiday insurance, that includes cover for these sports. This can cover the child personally for injury whilst on camp, as well as cover the cost of camp should an injury occur within 30 days of camp which may result in the child being unable to attend.

    WHAT TO BRING ON CAMP

    Skateboard / Scooter

    Clothes for the week including towel and toiletries.

    Bedding including sheet, pillow, pillow case, duvet, duvet cover (or sleeping bag)

    Helmet (as some parks will require you to wear one)

    Any medication you might need.

    Sunscreen.

    Chargers / foreign adaptors for anything you decide to bring.

    Any personal items you bring will not be covered by Camp Rubicon. High value items such as phones, video cameras, photography equipment, laptops, Air Pods, bluetooth speakers etc are at risk of damage or loss. These will be your responsibility. We have safe storage for items if needed.

    CAN WE CONTACT OUR CHILD ON CAMP?

    Of course! These days most children have their own phones anyway – but if your child does not or chooses not to bring theirs – then you can contact one of the camp leaders. Their details will be provided in the Parents Email that is normally sent out about one week before each camp starts.

    WHAT IS THE SAFETY DISCLAIMER?

    By signing your child up for camp, you:
    – understand that you are allowing your child to participate in an extreme sport that can result in injury or death.
    – understand that you waive any and all claims for personal injury, illnesses or property damage against Camp Rubicon.
    – you authorise the staff at Camp Rubicon to act as your childs guardian and act according to their best judgment in any emergency requiring medical attention.

    CAMP RULES

    1) Parents should search their child’s bag before sending them to camp. With vaping, smoking, tagging / graffiti, and alcohol all strictly forbidden, anyone in the possession of these items will be sent home. Vaping is a growing problem, and we highly recommend you search for these items.

    2) We will issue a photo of our dorm rooms on the first day to all parents. Dorm rooms must then be kept tidy by the campers. Last year we had a lot of mess, and that included food waste being crushed in to our carpets. If this is not the case, we will not leave the site to go riding until it is rectified by the campers.

    3) Bad language is not suitable for camps. Nor is it suitable to play music with bad language or degrading themes that cover gender or racial topics.

    4) Bullying is the hardest for some young people as they don’t always understand that some behavior may effect other young people in way that is hasn’t done previously. With this in mind, please remind your children that we will have campers of all ages and backgrounds, and so they should act suitably when in this type of group setting.

    Please explain to your children that campers, who are younger, can get upset or not understand how to interpret comments form older campers. And alternatively, sometimes older campers may want some space from the younger ones. We keep a close eye on this and communicate with parents if we feel there is a need to discuss anything.

    We will expect bed times / quiet times to be respected and followed. This is so that those who need sleep / rest can get it properly. Not getting the rest they need can seriously effect a campers experience on camp so we need to make sure those who want a quiet and undisturbed sleep can get it.

    The first night is always the hardest as we tend to see our limits tested by some. Negatively interfering with another campers experience will be a major issue in our eyes and again will see campers sent home.

     
    10pm – they head in to their dorm rooms, (having already washed and showered if they want to.)
     
    10.30pm – unwinding, less noise.
     
    11pm – quiet time / bed time. Anyone caught leaving the building will be sent home. Headphones only from this point on.
    Spending money is left for the families to decide. We supply breakfast, lunch and dinner, but some money to use at the skate shops, and to buy their own fizzy drinks and snacks with seems pretty common. if they run out, they can borrow from us if you are happy to refund at the end of the week.
     
    We are finding it more and more common that younger generations don’t have breakfast or skip breakfast – meaning they get hungry before lunch. We encourage them to eat, but if they do skip breakfast, the next meal provided by us is at lunch. Please encourage your children to take advantage of breakfast.
     
    Any questions, please get in touch.
