Signature:________________________________________________________ Print name________________________ Camps are where the sempai have an opportunity to observe your growth and potential beyond class time. Camp features concepts and techniques that are not covered at class. Black belts are indeed forged at the camps. If you are having financial pains, talk to the slush fund group (Mr. Adams, Mr. Granja) now and get squared away. If you can donate money to the scholarship fund to help others, please let me know right away! Please note: no application can be submitted without a payment of some type, credit card, check or cash. You may postdate checks and credit cards until Feb. 28th. This will avoid late fee charge. Again, please do not submit this form without payment, it will be sent back to you otherwise. Costs: Overnight students can arrive anytime after 2 pm on Friday but the action starts about 5 pm. You are being housed in special vacation homes. Students sleep in beds or on the floor in air mattresses (be prepared to bring one.) PMA provides breakfasts, lunch and dinners and snacks. Departure is Sunday between 3 and 5 pm, depending on weather. Car Pools: your early registrations is needed so organizers can assist in the driving. In general parents are discouraged from driving teenagers up and back. Bushis need to be bonding and karate relating to other shoguns. All Teenagers can only drive in cars with an adult driver, and no coed teen driving of any type unless the organizers are really stuck for drivers! Special driving arrangements are usually made for our samurai students. Slush fund: there is fund raising happening in the dojo and the building up of a scholarship fund. If you need financial help to go, please ask and the organizers can put you in touch with the slush fund committee. You can also donate funds to help others attend! This camp features all weapons and open hand karate-do, including sparring. There are in depth academic seminars. Details on what to bring will be emailed out later. Special note on samurai age students attending camp: we usually allow 15 samurai to attend the senior camp if we deem they have the maturity to handle this. The parent must be prepared to drive (car pool) the students to Borrego Springs and also do the pick up. We need you to preferably arrive in the daylight on Friday which means you need to start driving right after school. Your departure is moved ahead to 1 pm on Sunday for safety concerns about the driving. Sometimes we can provide rides with our adults so please ask. Students are segregated for sleeping arrangements. (Borrego Springs is about 2 hours driving and the roads are very good. If the weather is bad such as snow in the mountains, that can pose a problem.) In the case of dangerous road conditions we will break camp early and if necessary hold the camp at Old Town studio. If you cannot attend you MUST politely inform Master Devine now. This is mandatory! Camps like the tournaments are a required part of the curriculum. Your not attending is a loss for both you and the PMA. Good protocol means good communication! |
