ProCamp is an intensive prep weekend designed for experienced, varsity-level students who want to take their skills to the next level in a specific FCDI event (LD, EXTD, IMP, EXTS, or LEG). Students will be guided by skilled coaches dedicated to helping participants refine their abilities. With a small group setting, students can expect personalized, focused instruction.
If a track becomes full, a student may attend in a different track of their choice. We will communicate with students and families to arrange their second choice track as needed.
For overnight trips, no co-ed rooming is permitted. Rooms will include 2–3 students of the same biological sex, grouped by school level (middle school with middle school; high school with high school). Roommate requests cannot be accommodated. Any exception requires administrator approval and parental consent, consistent with applicable law and safety protocols.
The registration fee is just $75 per person, which includes instruction, activities, meals, and a t-shirt.
Submission of this form constitutes an application. Students will receive follow-up communication regarding acceptance, and payment will be required only if accepted.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 10, 2026
We believe that every student should have the opportunity to participate, regardless of financial situation, so if the registration fee presents a financial hardship, please reach out to discuss options.
