Camp ended on a high note with the team Camp Showdown. Varsity and JV teams were split to make two squads who then battled to victory using the College overtime rules. Great play by both squads and every team represented well. The games lasted for about 2 hours with each team playing part of the time on both offense and defense.

Thanks to all of the teams for attending camp this year, we look forward to a fantastic year for all of the teams in the regular season, and hopefully playoff berths for ALL teams. HAVE A GREAT YEAR TEAMS!!!!

July 15, 2011

Teams are here at camp! A lower turnout than we expected, however the teams are spirited and learning a lot! We have 7 teams in all with 271 athletes and 48 coaches. We are on day 2 of camp, the first of many scrimmages and more coaching!

May 6, 2011

Teams have firmed up their plans for this summer, we have lost 2 Nevada teams due to tight budgets and equipment needs, but we look forward to those teams that can make the trip. We have increased our food selection and budget for this years camp to better satisfy the athletes. We will have some of the same College coaches as last year from SOU and some new coaches from the UC Davis football program.

Please take the time to fill out the rosters and get them to us as soon as possible, this will greatly improve our planning and purchasing process for a very productive camp!

Coaches can expect semi-weekly e-mail updates from Matt or Fred so look for these in your e-mail box right up to camp!

March 1, 2011

More teams to add to the reservation roster, Chester and Wooster (Reno) have added to the list. We have about filled up the first week, and are looking for teams who want to be included in camp for the week of July 20-24. More teams make for a better camp! Look to the Camp Reservations page for team postings.

February 24, 2011

Team reservations for Spanish Springs and hopefully Wooster (if they can get approval) are in! Remember to use the Player Roster Form to track your players paper trail. This form is in Excel format (if you need it another way let me know) and set up to track payments for camp as well as app and physical forms submission. We are trying to make it easier to collect the needed material for submission at camp.

February 18, 2011

More team reservations are rolling in, both Dunsmuir and Eagle Point have committed to the 13-17th camp. This will Dunsmuir's second year at camp and Eagle Point has been to all of our camps. Thanks for returning and committing to camp we look forward to seeing your teams in action again. For the other teams, please let us know on e way or the other, as we have reserved spots for all returning teams. Remember to have your players fill out the forms, get their physical forms completed and start saving money! Camp is only 23 weeks away! Here are the forms to upload to your computer in MS WORD and MS PUBLISHER, we also have, for the coach a ROSTER FORM in MS Excel format.

Coaches, some things to consider for camp...
1. Have you completed the roster sheet for all players? (Roster Form - Excel)
2. Have you received all paperwork (medical release & physical)?
3. Have you collected all funds (or if school bank, district issued check)?
4. Have you planned for the Wednesday night dinner? Or cheerleader dinner offered on site?
5. Have you planned for the correct number of tents, sleeping bags and the like?
6. Have you informed your athletes about what to bring AND what not to bring?
7. Have you issued football gear to all PAID athletes? Have they checked their cleats for fit and if repairs needed?
8. Have you arranged or thought of having a 'Camp Bank' to take care of player funds?

We will add to this list of considerations as we go...something to think about!

Congrats to Gridley Bulldogs, the first team to request a reservation to camp!! In other news, we've added a team roster sheet to help you track you players and the necessary paperwork. We suggest you download the file (it is in Excel format) and keep it on you computer. When you send in you deposits you can send a copy of the roster! Making life easier for all of us. There are notes on the file to help with filling it out, just roll over the box to see the notes. Again if you have any questions about camp or anything related to camp - please e-mail Matt or Fred, they will get back to you ASAP!! Roster Form-Excel

September 1, 2010

Planning for the 2011 edition of Cascade Team Camp is underway. Thanks to all of the coaches who have returned the evaluation forms, we have noted many suggestions and changes. Our number one fix for next camp will be the food portions. We will be purchasing our own service scoops so that we will get 'High School' portions versus grade school portions. The kitchen is cramped but we will put more food out per athlete.

We also want to share the camp photos with you. We have had a few glitches getting them on the site but please check the View 2011 camp page to look over the photos that we have uploaded to the site, thanks for your patience!

Finally, we wish all of the teams the best for the 2010 season, keep strong--keep fighting--keep winning!!!

July 19, 2010

Camp is underway! We have 10 teams and 370 Athletes. The campus is busy with activity from 7 in the morning to 11 PM. Lots of football and team building is going on!! All of the coaches are making use of the time and facilities for teaching this great game all the while preparing for the season ahead. More in the next announcement.

July 8, 2010

Thanks for being a part of camp. As all of the coaches have been kept up to date by e-mail we let the website sit idle, our apologies. here is the last communication before camp...

Just a couple of last minute notes and issues for camp…

Please have all of your final paperwork in to us or bring it with you to camp.
If you have late comers for camp…these are OK, BUT you must have the complete paperwork and cash, cashiers check or money order NO PERSONAL CHECKS, (thanks).
We have a limited number of self-contained (no hook-ups) RV spots for coaches or parents who want to attend. Please check in with Matt Hunsaker before you park (pavement only).
You still have time to select the Cheer Dinner on Wednesday night, rather than make it yourself (it’s the only meal you have to plan for, we do the rest). It’s only $10 per person (includes a tri-tip sand, 2 sides, drink and root beer float)
Remind your athletes that this is a football camp…they do not need to bring a bunch of electronics and other stuff to lose or get stolen (we are NOT responsible for lost items). So please have them plan to play football only…not much time for extraneous stuff.
Coaches, please bring your own tape and medical supplies for your athletes. We have a limited supply for injuries only! The trainer will tape your athletes for you if you provide the material.
We have adjusted our scheduling of 7 on 7 and linemen competitions for each school. You will have one team per level that will play twice per night (approx). So, if you have Varsity, JV and Frosh (for example) you will have 1-Varsity 7 on 7, 1-Varsity Lineman, 1-JV 7 on 7, 1-JV Lineman and so on. You will be able to free substitute during the event breaks, or have several squads to compete for that level and competition.
We have tried to not schedule any events on Friday afternoon other than the practice slots. If you want to take your team on an outing or let them rest legs and muscles, it’s your time…
Those teams who have been here before will have priority on camping spots. Our new guests will be placed on team size.
As we did last year we will have 2 groups for all meals. We try to balance the group size to help our cafeteria staff serve meals efficiently and quickly. Please have your team help by cleaning up after themselves.
This year we will have a Camp Counselor assigned to your team. They are all college level players and can help you if you desire. They can also resolve questions and issues you may have.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST…please no cleats in any school hallway. We are all visitors to this campus, and we’d like to be invited back. Advise all athletes that anyone caught in any school hallway (not concrete) will have 50 push-up penalty…please, please take off the cleats before entering a building.

Thanks coaches, we look forward to next week. Questions???? Please do not hesitate to call or e-mail. We are doing setup on Tuesday so calls only on that day.

Coaches we need your help...we need numbers!! Number and shirt sizes for coaches, AND numbers and t-shirt sizes for your athletes. All this and a start to your paperwork, if possible by May 31. I know we pushing a bit, but it will make for a smoother transition to the beginning of camp. Again, if you can...if not please put some effort as you will need firm numbers by June 10. Any questions contact Fred Braun.

ONLY 48 days to CAMP!!!

May 18, 2010

Coaches, get ready for Summer Camp..

Camp is a short 57 days away. We have several deadlines approaching…deposits, paperwork and physicals.

A lot to do in a very short time! We can get there if we start the process NOW!!! Most of you are or will be having spring workouts with your athletes, so now is the time to really push them to get the process going ASAP! I know some of you offer free physicals or arrange to get them through a clinic or local doctor, make sure the form is one your school will accept (we will accept any approved physical form filled out and signed by a doctor).

We are only having one (1) week of camp. There was not enough interest in the first week so we had to cancel the first week only. So camp will begin on Wednesday July 14 and continue through July 18 (the same as last year). Hopefully, next year we will be able to offer the other week to some more teams.

February 9, 2010

Coaches, don't miss out on Summer Camp...PLAN NOW!! The week of July 7-11 is still open for teams to reserve spots! The more time you give your athletes to prepare for camp the better...e-mail us now and get your team to Camp!! Check out the rest of the website and then e-mail Matt or Fred.
