The
Camp Enrollment Issues
Gentlemen ... Here we go again ... This
is really the most difficult part of planning for the 2005 Annual Gold
Beach Football Camp. We want to serve as many diverse teams as
possible, while at the same time rewarding teams who have supported and
many ways created the essence of the Gold Beach Camp.
Additionally we want to serve the football teams of Oregon and their
communities. To accomplish these goals is no easy
task. With that in mind would teams "please" contact us
early if you are considering camp. We do our best to create lists
that indicate who may be coming to camp and what sessions. We are
very much aware of the early dates we ask for. We are also aware
that circumstance change sometime radically as the camp dates
approach. We "do not" require a deposit, but operate on two (2)
very important principles. One a handshake commitment ... Two
constant and honest up to date communication. Here are some
issues that we would like you to consider.
1. Be honest .. get on the list early
even if you are not sure if you can swing getting all of the parts of
getting to camp done.
2. Keep in touch ... let us know if you are having troubles ... we will
retain your spot/position while at the same time alerting other teams
there may be a change.

Changes in camp plans
By Ken (Pops) Swift,
In the past few weeks we have seen a number of
teams
drop, and new teams added, then have to drop. We understand
completely
the unrest and uncertainties of the times. The Gold Beach Annual
Football
Camp is doing everything possible to assist you with your community,
team,
and coaching staff. Our only wish is that you communicate with us
on
a regular basis. Let us know of your concerns, and plans.
Last
but not least, we have lost some teams who have been with us from the
beginning
ten years ago. We are sorry to see old friends go and will miss
them
dearly. On the other had, that does provide some opening in the
2003
camp. While it is, we can certainly accept a few more teams in
camp.
Please give us a call.

Wars, Budgets, RIFs and other things that go bump in the night
By Ken (Pops) Swift,
It has been a busy spring for the 10th Annual
Gold Beach Football Camp staff (really just Head Football Coach, Kevin
Swift and his dad). The continuing catastrophe of public
education budget cuts in Oregon and California have impacted the camp.
We have lost teams
to coaches being RIFed and worry about communities that are
contemplating dropping football (always a puzzle to us, when the
cost of keeping a child in a juvenile detention facility exceeds
2,500.00 per month). With all that being said, the 10th Annual
Gold Beach Football Camp is experiencing its best year in terms of
teams coming to camp. We have seen a number of changes
to the camp roster, and we encourage anyone (team) to contact us and we
will
do our best to accommodate changes to the camp roster. Please
note
that communication is most important. We like to have a final
camp
roster set by May 1st.

Opening remarks from the 10th

We have spent much
of the past fall and winter months organizing our thoughts concerning
this year’s camp. It so hard to believe
that the camp is celebrating
its 10th year, the first four

by Roger and the last six expanded by

Kevin Swift and the Community of Gold Beach. Each
and every camp session has been something special and Coach Swift and

better. Each year Coach Swift and his

OSAA's Summer Contact Camp - Policy Number
41
Comments from the
On Monday, May 6th the OSAA’s Executive
Board debated Football Summer Contact Camps. It seems that the OSAA
lawyers were concerned about inconsistencies between practice days in
the fall (9) before contact with an opponent and only 3 days in the
summer. Kevin Swift of Gold Beach, Jim Nagel of Ashland and Vic Lease
of Santiam all attend this meeting to
present their case in support of Team Camps and the positive
experiences of Team Camps. Coach Swift, Coach Nagel and Coach Lease,
all participants in the Gold Beach Camp, worked closely with each other
and other
At the meeting OSAA appeared to really be looking for a solution to the
inconsistencies, not the elimination of these positive camps. The OSAA
Board
also spoke very highly of the Gold Beach Camp’s medical records,
procedures
and our commitment to player safety first.
Coach Nagel then presented the plan to eliminate the number of days inconstancy. He spoke of schools engaging in
six days of spring practice with no contact before traveling to a camp,
and then doing three more days at camp before contact scrimmages were
held on the fourth
day of camp. This then would fall in line with the OSAA’s
fall rule on number of days eliminating the inconsistency. OSAA
asked
Coach Swift about the impact this would have on camps. Coach Swift had
conducted
a survey of past camp teams and found that 90% of the teams
participating were already having a
number of spring practices
before attending camp, so the new rule would really not impact camp
much
if at all.
Following these presentations the board approved camps with the new
rule of six (6) days of spring ball before attending a camp. They also
want head coaches to carry some kind of professional liability coverage. This coverage is available through
numerous local and national coaches associations. If you have any
questions please contact Coach Swift at
We have had a few telephone calls and e-mails concerning this issue
(frankly much fewer than we anticipated). As far as we can see,
it has little or no effect on the Gold Beach Football Team Camp.
The only ruling that
seems to relate to our camp is the six (6) days of conditioning prior
to
attending camp. We have always stressed conditioning prior to
camp, although we have not indicated how many days or what the
conditioning should be. Additionally it is our interpretation
that each individual school’s athletic director or administration is
responsible for verification of conditioning practices prior to
camp. Everything else is on target for what we have been doing
for the last five years.
We looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones this
year. We think we have an exceptional camp planned for everyone
and are looking forward to seeing all of you in June.

Proposed changes in Summer Camps
OSAA Rule Changes
Head Football Coach, Kevin Swift
Despite rumors of OSAA not sanctioning football team camps after
this
summer; I have been assured by Brad Garrett, of OSAA, no decisions will
impact
this year’s camps. The 9th Annual Gold Beach Camp will continue for
this
year and hopefully for years to come. We at the “Beach Camp” are
aggressively mounting a defense to what many participants feel is a
great event for their student/athletes.
It has come to our camp’s attention
that OSAA and their Medical Advisory Board have some issues with team
camps and may sanction against them, following this summer. I
feel that we as coaches, who participate in these team camps, need to
rally in an effort to
save a vital activity for our student/athletes during the summer. It
appears the Medical Advisory Board is
concerned about
the inconsistency by OSAA on the number of days before contact in
the
fall (9) and only (3) days for Summer Team Camps. Our team doctor
and
I have spoken of this concern and we have come up with several
solutions. The fact is most teams participating in camp have completed

If you have been checking the Beach Camp Web Site (http://home.pacbell.net/kenswift/BEACH.HTM) you will notice there have been a number of changes in who is coming to camp and who is on the waiting list. As the camp dates approach (way to fast) circumstances change and decisions have to be modified. We have 3 teams on our waiting list and 32 teams enrolled in the Beach Camp sessions. Please keep in touch with Coach Kevin Swift as to status of your team camp plans.
I will be sending you a Beach Camp information gathering questionnaire in the next couple of weeks. I recognize how difficult it is to predict exactly how many student athletes you will bring to camp, the number of coaches and visitors, but this information, no matter how rough, is critical to keeping camp cost down and providing the very best camp experience for you and your team. Please give the questionnaire your prompt attention and get it back to me ASAP! Thank you for your time, effort, and consideration in these matters and we will see you in June.

Coaches, student/athletes and interested parties.
We (Gold Beach Football Team Camp Staff) can really appreciate
the
difficulty in deciding what camp should be your team's choice for the Summer of 2002 be. We (Coach Kevin Swift
and Pops)
are putting in 12 months of hard work to produce the camp. We can
only
image the difficulties in having to decide in January what camp to
attend.
Right in the mist of basketball and wrestling season, while the
semester
ends, an attention to finals and other critical issues that teachers
face
at this time of the year, make deciding on a football team camp very
difficult.
We are committed to the teams who have supported us, while
understanding
the need for new teams to share with all of us their student/athletes
and
contribute to the camp's continuing success. With that being
said,
it is our feeling that there may very well be one or two teams that
change
their mind this spring. The camp's waiting list them becomes critical. We have or will
notify each team that has committed to camp to keep in touch with us,
and give us a signal if there is the slightest hint of a change in
plans. We have committed to letting teams on the waiting list know by
March 15th if there will be a
change in their status. Please check the

Camp Update
Coach Kevin Swift
We thought January was both very busy and interesting, but February certainly exceeded our expectations. With the addition of the Toledo Bombers a 3A team, the camp has 14 teams for each session. We are planning on all fourteen teams in each session to attend the 2001 camp. With that said, we understand and anticipate that there "may" be changes in the teams who have committed to camp, between now (March 4th, 2001) and mid April (which is deadline for ordering materials for this year's camp). Schools change administrations, coaches, and community support sometimes establishes new or other priorities.

1. The camp received a hugh endorsement when we heard from from Coach Wells of Illinois Wesleyan University. I am including his e-mail message.
Kevin:
We are in the process of putting together a Team Camp at Illinois
Wesleyan University this summer. I know you have had great success

The 2000 Camp Teams and Success
Coach Kevin Swift
WOW! ... We just completed a review of the eighteen teams who attended last summer's camp. We are very impressed with their success during the 2000 season (Oregon and Northern California). Here are some impressive stats from the 2000 season:
18 teams (650 student/athletes) ...
101 wins - 63 loses (not counting
playoffs)
15 out of 18 teams posted winning seasons
11 out of 18 teams ranked in the top 10
in their division at one or more times during the 2000 season
10 out of 18 teams have advanced to the
state or regional playoffs
We have always maintained that the biggest factor in the growing success of the Gold Beach Football Team Camp is the quality of the teams and coaches who attend. Guess this year proves our point.

We have already confirmed Del Norte High School (CA-4A) and Seaside High School (3A) for Session I and have indications from Glenwood Springs High School in Colorado and Colton High School in Southern California that they will probably confirm their intention to attend one o four sessions. Our concerns are for those teams who have attended in the past and because of their participation have created one of the best "Team" football camps in the Western United States. We certainly do not want to lose them, because they are busy with the state and/or regional playoffs (by the way there are an amazing number of last year's teams in the playoffs). Please give us a quick call and let us know what you are thinking. Best of luck to all this year's play off teams.

Camp). Professor
Ken Swift - Camp Director
We have some concerns about camp enrollment for this summer's camp. We are hearing a number of very informal rumors, discussions, and request for information about this summer's camp. One of our major concerns is that schools who have attended our camp in the past and have been the major reason our camp has been so successful, may take it for granted that we know they are returning. Please let us know as soon as possible, if you are intending (or not intending) to come to this summer's camp and what session. We realize that the complexities of high school coaching, and fund raising, etc., make it impossible to commit at such a nearly date. We just need an indication of your intentions as soon as you possible .

Issues and comments from Gold Beach Head
Football Coach - Kevin Swift
As July comes to a close and before the short weeks and long days of August begin, and after watching the NFL Hall of Fame Indications. last Saturday, July 29th, 2000, I am reminded of a few things.
Dave Wilcox's acceptance speech reminded me to thank Jay Johnson,
also from Vale Oregon, our recently retired Superintendent of Schools,
for the opportunity to come to Gold Beach, and his guidance and support
of and for the Gold Beach Football Team Camp. While in the "thank
you" mode, I would like to take this opportunity to thank a number of
people who have made the Gold Beach Football Team Camp, one of the
premier high school football camps in the Western USA (we have heard rumors, that we have become nationally
know). TJ of Oregon Preps for his promotion and support of this
year's camp. Chuck Culpepper columnist for
the Oregonian, for his wonderful article about Gold Beach High School
football. The coaches and football players of Oregon and
Northern California, you are the heart and soul of the camp.
Whatever reputation the camp has earned it is because of the quality of
these coaches and players. Our visiting coaches, who give of their time
and expertise freely, their
contributions have enhanced everyone. The
community of Gold Beach, for being what and who you are, and for
supporting the camp in so many ways. My family, dad for
his unsparing support and promotion of the camp, my mom for her efforts
to
smooth the travel arrangements for our visiting coaches, my niece,
Sarah for
her untiring efforts to a make each camp better than the year before,
and
last but most important my wife, for her never ending love and support
of
the camp, the community of Gold Beach and Curry County.

News from The
Oregonian
The Oregonian
Autumn Friday in Gold Beach like no other 3
Chuck Culpepper
Friday, July 21, 2000
GOLD BEACH -- At given moments on Friday nights in autumns in a big country, I like to think of the cleats rampaging across 3,000 miles of earth under the lights.
Some enviably tall next-great-quarterback in Pennsylvania is making everybody else on the field look even younger than they already are.
Some blur in Florida is headed up the sideline 80 yards for a sudden touchdown.
In thick Texas air, some band of brutes is trying to establish the running game on some plucky somebody while an expectant crowd pays witness, arms folded.
That is not to exclude out-of-the-way gems like Leslie County High School in Hyden, Ky., a one-curve mountain town where the lights suddenly appear -- at the end of the one curve -- as if stashed in an envelope ofmountains.
I'd consider a Friday night well-spent at Clear Creek, Colo., forthere the Orediggers -- that's right, the Orediggers -- play at 9,000 feetof elevation on a field tucked between a mountain and a highway. The highwayleads up to the Continental Divide, so a punt shanked onto it presumablycould roll clear to Kansas. I'd like to see it try.
But there is so little time, so precious little time in life, because every so often a new vision elbows its way into the nighttime daydream. So, please, take me some Friday evening to Gold Beach High School, home of the Panthers, where the field nestles between U.S. 101 and the ocean itself.
Take me on a night when the place-kickers are stalwart, because the east end zone at Gold Beach rests hard against the side of a supermarket, so that well-nailed kicks routinely arch through the top of the uprightsand onto the roof. It's no big problem. The people on the field send wordto the market there is a ball on the roof. The roof sends an employee upthere to fetch it.In five minutes, the ball is back to join the other gameballs.
My fondness for this knows no bounds.
If possible, get me a night when the animals are wild. I don't know how you tell that, but figure it out. Already since coach Kevin Swift has been around, only 3½ years thus far, a deer has taken the field during a game. The deer seemed to have a suitable working knowledge of the sideline -- perhaps from ample practice during idle hours -- and sprinted 80 yards for an apparent touchdown. Since it was a home deer, Swift should have counted it. "If our tailbacks ran like that," Swift said, "we'd have no problem."
Let's make a practice, also, for sometimes during practice, lazy ospreys failing to pay attention to the coaches' tireless laments about avoidingturnovers drop fish or eels onto the practice field. The very idea of kidspracticing football while an eel falls from the sky to the field has boltedinto my top-five favorite sports thoughts.
Maybe I'll go up and stand with Chris Thelin, Gold Beach class of1967. Maybe he'll let me. As the offensive coordinator,he standsatop the lone grandstand, which means Chris Thelinmight havethe best view of any assistant coach in the whole United States. When the games start around twilight, he sees, well, let himtell it: "Iget to see sunsets. I see everything. I see thewaves rollingin. And there are some nice sunsets."
And he's supposed to concentrate on the coming zone blitz?
Some nights from his vantage point above the south side of the field, he has watched the entire process of fog rolling in. He has seen it coming, has seen its front edge, has seen it take the field,has seen the four light stanchions magnify it so that he can't seethe players' numbers.
Other nights, the rain has hit, and when the rain hits hard and sideways, it usually brings along on its Friday night date the wind, like the gustthat helped the kid from Douglas ace the 48-yard field goal the other year. Sometimes, when the rain is in a cocky mood, it will gather on thesupermarket roof, hurryoff the roof through the drainage system and turnthe east end of the fieldinto "an absolute pond," as Thelin puts it.
As everyone knows, football in an absolute pond is always worth alook, even for those who, that one night, stood on ground near the east endzone-- untilthe ground caved in a few feet. Nobody was hurt, so I can sayI wouldn't have minded joining them.
Or maybe the best way to watch is with the crowd that parks at the Golden Egg. The Golden Egg, a Chinese restaurant with American flags on the windows, is shoulder-to-shoulder with the supermarket. It is not open for dinner, so there is no Sky Dome-style game-viewing, but if you were quarterbacking a team from, say, the east 1-yard line, you easily could spot the salt-and-pepper shakers in the windows, the purple menus standing on end.
Were it a day game, you maybe could order takeout.
The Golden Egg crowd gathers to watch from the grass bank behind the end zone, and that is the rowdiest batch of the audience, which brings us to the other thing about Gold Beach, the yeoman support from a town of 2,500. The coach has his own radio show. The fans have been known to follow thePanthers to North Douglas one day and all the way to Bend in a rainstormthe next. The meat of the football season, Swift says, has the goodluck to occur when"salmon season comes to an end right about then and it'sa little too earlyfor steelhead."
So maybe the top row in the grandstand will be my viewing choice. You can still see the waves before dark, see the Dairy Queen sign popping up a top the supermarket roof, the Texaco sign just behind, almost see the Paul Bunyan Burger down the way. Or maybe, just maybe, there's another way: a walkon the beach to the game. How many places allow you to come up thesand duringthe first half with the biggest patch of alluring darkness inthe world, thePacific Ocean, on your left, and Friday night lights on yourright?
Gold Beach does, and everything about it adds up to more than enough to overlook the fact that, situated between the sand and the field, behind the west end zone and some dark-green trees and a fence is, mysteriously, a small sewage-treatment facility. OK, so city planning wasn't always the science it has become today. Never mind that. Don't quibble with charm. Among the Friday night lights stretching across a big country every buzzing autumn, Gold Beach qualifies for the pantheon.
