FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What do i need to bring?

    Training t-shirts will provided and must be worn to camp training sessions. Further t-shirts and accessories are available for purchase through our ProcampUK Store.

    https://www.procampsuk.com/store/

    Suitable footwear and clothing is the only other necessity. 

    Any medical requirements are also to be brought to sessions i.e. inhaler for asthma. Training will not be permitted unless these precautions are followed.

  • Camp Staff

    All staff that deliver on camp will hold coaching qualifications, be DBS checked and a qualified first aider will always be on site.

    All delivery staff will follow a daily plan that is structured and designed by ProcampsUK in partnership with Fulham FC. 

  • What happens if my child is ill or can not attend camp?

    Unfortunately, these are unforeseen circumstances that cannot be avoided. As camp providers we have to cover the costs of providing these opportunities. 

    Only in extreme circumstances will we refund the payment, and this will be at the camp directors’ discretion.


  • Payment

    Payment for camp is made in 2 instalments. Upon application a deposit of 20% of full fee must be paid immediately to secure your place on camp. This fee is non-refundable.

    Remainder of the balance must be paid 2 weeks prior to the camp start date. Failure to do so will result in your place being retracted and offered to players on the waiting list.

    It is recommended that the full balance is paid as soon as possible as once we achieve the capacity number, applications will cease and your place cannot be guaranteed.

    This is so we can finalise number of coaches required for camp.



  • Is the camp residential?

    No. the camp offers no accommodation so attending players will need to be at the camp location at the specified time allocated to the group that the player is in.

    If you do require accommodation this is done so at your own cost.

  • How do i make payment? (Banking Details)

    Thank you for your interest and application.
