The Gold Beach Football Team Camp staff fields a large number of inquires (via e-mail. US Mail, telephone, etc.) about our camp.  It is our hope that by posting breaking news, interesting views, questions, and answers we will improve everyone's understanding of what the Gold Beach Team Football Camp experience is all about.  We also produce a monthly newsletter which includes a great deal of information about the camp.  Please contact Coach Kevin Swift, if you wish to be added to the mailing list.

Camp Enrollment Dates

Camp registration for returning teams begins December 15th, 2008 through January 15th, 2009.  Teams/Schools new to the Annual Gold Beach Football Team Camp may enroll January 16th, 2009 and until camp is full with three [3] teams on the waiting list.  Camp staff encourages everyone to:

1. Start planning for camp now ... meet with student/athletes, parents and community leaders and begin fund raising.  January through May fund raising  @ $ 50.00 per month (or 12.50 per week ... or $ 1.70 per day) generates $ 150.00 per student/athlete.

2. If you are interested in attending camp for the first time, contact  Coach Kevin Swift, or Ken (Pops) Swift and get on the nailing list and request information about camp ASAP (DVD of Camp, 2008 Camp Notebook, etc.).

3. Sign-up ASAP even though your plans are not completely set.  Every year we have teams drop for various reasons and we are always able to move teams from the waiting list to actual camp participation.
