Where Will We Stay While On Campus?
All campers will be housed in Morrison Hall. Morrison is the giant high rise dormitory overlooking Kenan Football Stadium.
During check in and check out, please be advised that there is little room to park at Morrison Hall. Public Safety requests that you park while unloading in the Ram's Head Parking Deck off of Ridge Road. Any camper driving to camp themselves will be required to pay for parking while on campus. No parking passes will be given to campers.
- The physical address for Morrison Hall is:
445 Paul Hardin Drive
Chapel Hill, NC 27514
What Are the Rooming Arrangements Like At Camp?
In Morrison, all rooms are double occupancy (meaning two people per room). Each room is a part of a six or eight person suite that shares a bathroom. The online registration offers campers to request a roommate. While we do our best to assign roommates based on preference, please be make sure YOU ask the other camper, first, before putting his name on your registration form. Roommate changes may be made up to two weeks before the first day of camp. (University housing requires our rooming lists two weeks prior to begin assigning keys, housing lists for their staff, etc.) The rooming list is cross referenced and checked multiple times to make sure BOTH campers have requested each other to be roommates. We leave this responsibility up to the campers and no switching or re-assignments will be permitted during check in. You may access your online registration account at any time up to the two weeks prior to camp to make these changes.
What will campers do in their free time??
Tar Heel Lacrosse Camps runs on a three session schedule (two on first day, one on last). Between sessions, campers will eat in the nearby dining hall (Rams Head Dining Hall) and catch some cool air in the
What happens if my child gets sick, injured, homesick, etc?
We have athletic trainers at all camp sessions and staffing the dorms 24 hours a day. Ms. Nina Walker, certified athletic trainer for the UNC Men's Lacrosse team, heads up her camp staff. There is an athletic training room designated at camp. Campers will talk with the athletic trainers initially during check in, and may show up at the dorm room for any other issues up until 11 pm. One athletic trainer is ON CALL nightly (after 11 pm). The athletic training suite will be listed on the campers registration packet at check in.While we haven't had many incidents of a camper being homesick, we highly ask parents to consider if their child is ready to be away by themselves for camp. We have noticed homesick feelings usually occur with our younger residential campers (6th or 7th) graders. If needed, we do offer the "commuter" option for campers that aren't ready to stay in the dorm, but still allows them to participate in all camp session.
Where are camp sessions held?"
Camp sessions are held on a variety of fields on campus.
For instructional camp (July 16-19), middle school campers will have all of their sessions on Navy and Henry Fields. (Navy is field turf and Henry is astro turf.) High school campers are bussed to Finley Fields near Finley Golf Course. Other fields to be used are Ehringhaus Intramural Field (behind dining hall) and Hooker Fields near Carmichael Auditorium. Both of these fields are Field Turf.
For Team Camps I, all sessions will be held on Finley Fields (grass fields). For Team Camp II, games will be held on Finley Fields (grass fields), Ehringhaus (field turf), Navy (field turf), and Henry Field (astro turf).
If desired, parents are allowed to observe any session.
