2. Athletic shoes for walking to/from fields and some hiking
3. Change of clothes for alternative and evening activities, including sweatshirt/jacket (for cold mountain nights)
4. Sandals or flip-flops for lake or lounging in lodge
5. Two towels - 1 for swimming and 1 for personal hygiene
6. Some money for incidentals or snacks - optional
7. Refillable large water bottle
8. Sleeping bag, blanket, and/or pillow - optional for lodge, but sometimes kids like to have their own stuff.
9. Swimsuit & towel (please no revealing or skimpy swimsuits)
10. Sunscreen and hat
11. Bug spray - optional
12. Toiletries, including toothbrush/toothpaste and lip balm
13. Athletic tape and/or KT Tape for any injuries or support you may want

BTW, there are no washer/dryer facilities available to campers in Bear Valley.

As you consider what to pack, please remember that while the days are consistently in the 80’s, at night it can get cold in the Sierras at this elevation (7,100ft) – temperatures in the 40s are not unusual even in August once the sun sets.

There is a general store adjacent to Bear Valley Lodge where campers can purchase snacks, drinks, and other assorted sundry items. The General Store handles NO lacrosse or athletic equipment of any kind. You should feel free to give your child some spending money for this, but NOT too much – we have seen some rather crazy purchases of candy that perhaps would not have happened with some parental supervision and/or resource constraints.

BUS TRANSPORTATION TO BEAR VALLEY
A 58 person air conditioned coach bus with bathroom facilities and camp coaching staff will transport kids to the camp (extra fee).

The option to reserve your spot on the bus is within the Camp Registration. If you missed it or have since decided you want to take the bus, please contact us at admin@teamnorcal.com.

The Bear Valley Lodge is situated high in California’s Central Sierra in the quaint and historic Village of Bear Valley. Surrounded by many lakes, meadows, national forests and two protected wilderness areas, the lodge is the perfect destination for people looking for a cozy retreat to have fun, relax and unwind. Halfway between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, Bear Valley is convenient, friendly, fun and free of crowds. Endless outdoor activities rival any summer resort’s repertoire.

Players will eat and sleep at the Bear Valley Lodge. Players may request specific roommates. Every player will have their own bed at the camp.

Campers have the opportunity to spend one or more nights in the Bear Valley Glamping tents, on the ridge at the Ski Valley resort, overlooking the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Families looking to rent their own housing in Bear Valley for the week should contact Bear Valley Vacation Rentals.

Travel Team Refund Policy:

When a player accepts a spot on one of our Team NorCal Travel Teams, they pay an annual Team Fee. This fee is non-refundable. Tournament Fees, paid by players to participate in various tournaments, can be credited against a future tournament (minus a $25 administrative fee) if we are able to replace your player with a substitute player from the approved roster, and we have not already paid the player or tournament fee to the tournament. Replacing a player is never guaranteed, and as the tournament gets closer becomes increasingly difficult. Once the tournament summer season begins, there are no refunds for any tournament, except in the case of injury certified by a medical professional.

Our Refund Policy for Summer Camps, Summer Ball and Fall Ball is different as we have a little more flexibility with our numbers of participants and the structure of our programs. Please see below for details.
