Camp BrochuresAdvertisement
The brochure may not advertise the camp as an “elite” camp.

Terms such as “beginning skills camp,” “high intensity,” or “full force” may be used. 26
Camp BrochuresAdvertisement
The camp may be advertised as a position camp provided no level or experience, skill or ability is explicitly or implicitly required or preferred. Example: A basketball camp may be
advertised as a “guard camp” but not an “elite guard camp” or “advanced guard camp.”
