Field Hockey Camps & Clinics
All Princeton University Sports Camp participants are required to provide copies of immunization records from a physician’s office or a valid medical and/or religious exemption from immunization. All campers must provide records that satisfy the immunization schedule set forth at Immunization of Pupils in School, N.J.A.C. 8:57-4 or provide an official letter from a physician indicating that immunization is in progress. Your camper WILL NOT be allowed to participate without the appropriate medical records.
registration deadline
The online registration system works best with Firefox and Chrome.
Due to high demand, many camps fill prior to the registration deadline and early registration is recommended. Once a camp reaches capacity or the registration deadline, we are unable to add additional campers. Walk-up registrations are not accepted for any camp or clinic.
In the event a camp does not reach capacity, the following registration deadlines apply:
- Overnight Camps close 2 days prior to the camp.
- Day Camps and Clinics close at 11:59pm the night before camp.
