We have set up a Facebook group for our athletes.  The purpose of this group is for us to post information regarding camp/answer your questions, allow you to communicate with other athletes about rides or possible room sharing, and allow us to get to know each other a bit before camp begins.  Please join this group now!

Our coaches will make themselves available for private training. We will send an email with their schedules to camp participants.

You must download the Better at Beach Volleyball App! 

On Saturday, we will still have access to the courts and encourage people to play pick up and private lessons if available.  We are also waiting on local tournament organizers to see if there are any close tournaments that you could play easily.  If there aren't any options of local tournaments, we will run a King/Queen of the Court style tournament on Saturday depending on interest.

The traveler’s cancellation of the journey shall take place in a manner as indicated in the contract. The cancellation must be in writing. The organizer (Better at Beach) should be notified in writing via email to [email protected]

The traveler has the right to cancel a travel package. The organizer has the right to compensation for any costs incurred due to the cancellation. The organizer may in his additional conditions state reasonable standardized cancellation fees, based on the time for cancellation. If the organizer does not state standardized cancellation fees, the traveler shall be entitled to repayment of the price of the package travel reduced by such costs that the organizer is obliged to pay. The organizer shall, at the request of the traveler, provide him or her with a written calculation of the compensation.

• In the case of a cancellation more than 60 days before the date of departure, the traveler shall pay 10 % of the price of the package or may elect to have Better at Beach hold the dues as credit for any future camps or online training programs.
• In the case of a cancellation 60 to 31 days before the date of departure, the traveler shall pay 25% of the price of the package.
• In the case of a cancellation 15 days before the date of departure, the traveler shall pay 50% of the price of the package.
• If the cancellation takes place less than 15 days before the departure, the traveler shall pay the whole price of the package.

Sometimes, but not always. If our full camp does not sell out, we will open the option for Day Passes 3 weeks before the start of camp. Check the individual camp pages for details and make sure you are on our email list to receive updates!

We always have players looking to share rooms and split the cost of accommodation and transport.

Absolutely no problem!

If you just want them there on vacation, the hotel we stay at, Postcard Inn, has a lot of little fun activities, is on the beach and has a giant pool but they do not have babysitting or a "teen club".

If you want your young one to participate in the volleyball training, then of course!

We get a bunch of teenagers every year. Just know in advance that while we do have some teenagers, the majority of the campers are adults and no matter what age, we group players by skill. Some work well when surrounded by adults. Others, maybe not. Be aware of your child's maturity level because this is not a juniors specific camp.

You don't HAVE TO partner with them but if you have a younger person that you want to stick with in training, it would be OK to bring them to a lower level court with you but it wouldn't be fair to the other campers to bring a lower level player UP to a high level court just for partnering reasons.

If you want to bring a group of kids and have them train together on the same court, we can do that! Just email [email protected] so we can talk about it. We will remind you that a chaperone will be required and our coaches are not there to supervise players outside of the on-court training time.

We usually split up men's and women's courts. 

Our job is to recognize the best split of skill level and gender and then to make sure everyone gets challenged appropriately and learns a lot.

Sometimes we'll ask players who are clearly outpacing their gender if they want to try another court regardless of it being a men's or women's net.

Sometimes we get a group who wants to play co-ed or it's just a better fit in terms of skill level and we are happy to do that if it's appropriate and there's enough players who want to.

What to Bring:

CLOTHES - Pack enough athletic wear for a minimum of 2 changes per day.  

(It gets hot and sweaty in each session, & people have found themselves needing more clothes than planned.  Laundry services are off premises, a few miles from the hotel)

THEME NIGHTS - Pack something to wear for our White OUT night.  It doesn’t have to be fancy but something to go out to Skidder's and have a BLAST! 

Check out the other theme nights in your camp emails, as well. 

FOOD/SNACKS - this is a pretty big topic to cover.  You will need more snacks and food than you can imagine.  You are training 3-6 hours A DAY.  The amount of calories you are burning need to be replenished to keep you healthy and performing at your peak.  If you have any other dietary concerns, please let me know.

Some ideas that we love are: 

• Applesauce packets
• Jerky
• Energy Chews
• Berries/Apples/Bananas
• Almond/Peanut Butter Packets
• Almonds/Cashews/Nuts
• Protein Bars/Shakes
• Trail Mix
• Deli Sandwiches (I cut them into quarters and wrap them up individually)
• Crackers
• Deli Meat
• Pickles
• Mustard Packets

You can check out the Tournament Nutrition Checklist that Mark put together for INCREDIBLE information on how to be well prepared. 

HYDRATION - You will be drinking copious amounts of water during your training sessions. Bringing electrolyte replacement powders/stick packs/pedialyte are a game changer.  Bringing a soft sided cooler or packable cooler has helped many campers keep their goodies cold while on the courts. Refillable Water Bottles are a MUST!!

RECOVERY - your body will thank you for bringing some recovery tools.  If you have a lacrosse ball, small foam roller, resistance bands, leg bands, massage gun, etc.  Also, remember to bring some sore muscle ointments for those of you that might need them.  I buy stock in Biofreeze!

SUN PROTECTION - Sunscreen (most people are bringing around 2-3 bottles), Hats/Visors, Sunglasses (bring two pairs), Lightweight Long Sleeve Shirts/hoodies, Sand Sox, Beach towel, umbrella, etc

ODDS AND ENDS - Leave in Hair Products, Small Towels for cleaning balls/sunglasses, flip flops, sandals, biofreeze roll-ons, extra hair ties, extra phone/tablet chargers and battery packs, drybags for phones/personal items, chapstick/lip protectant, pain relievers, first aid kit, eye wash/visine, headphones/airpods, headbands, etc. 

We strive to have all levels at camps and cannot guarantee any specific percentage of leveled players. 

We do suggest that if you are an AA/AAA/Open level player, that you bring a group of people to ensure that you have the appropriate amount of competition that you desire and can receive the most from your training. 

We are testing out the idea of offering the reservation of a court at our camps for your own group. If this is something that interests you, please email [email protected] so we can give you the proper quote for your selected camp.
