There will also be campus security patrolling during camp activities and the dormitories overnight.

DISCIPLINE
Violations of camp regulations such as willful damage to Loyola Marymount University property and inappropriate behavior deemed detrimental to the camp and campers will result in immediate dismissal from the Kobe Basketball Academy. There will be no refund of registration fees should a camper be dismissed from camp.

INSURANCE AND MEDICAL CARE
Campers must provide their own medical insurance. Professional medical trainers are on duty at all times. Doctors are on constant call and hospital facilities are readily accessible. Because of the rigorous daily schedule, each camper should come to camp in excellent condition. Every conceivable effort is made to protect the campers health and safety through the extensive training of our medical staff, constant inspection of equipment, and supervised instruction of campers. Cost of treatment of injuries and hospitalization for illness or injuries while attending the Kobe Basketball Academy will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian of the participant. Any insurance carried by the parent or guardian may be used to defray such medical and hospital costs. The camp staff assumes no responsibility for accidents or illness. We will not accept a camper with pre-existing medical problems unless we have been notified prior to registration. Please fill in the proper information on the application. The camper will not be admitted to the camp without the proper insurance information and signature of a parent or guardian. Should he/she require any special medical attention or is required to take any special medicine, the camp director requires that you document such needs. Please attach such information to your camp application.

Kobe will be on-site each day. Kobe will be conducting lectures, instructing, interacting with campers and competing in counselor games. Each camper will receive a team photo with Kobe and one signed personal autograph from Kobe.
