Nutrition and Health

Lunch varies per camp, but at each camp, GameFace strives to offer meals that support good nutritional habits. If you are interested in partnering with GameFace to provide healthy lunches for athletes, please contact us.

To ensure the health and safety of our campers, we ask those with dietary restrictions to bring their own lunch.

What if my child requires medication?

Please call 1-800-426-1064 to set up a personalized medical plan if your child requires medication that needs to be taken during camp hours.

How are injuries handled on the field?

Minor injuries are treated by a first-aid certified individual, followed by close monitoring until the athlete has recovered and is well enough to resume participation. For serious injuries, 911 is called with paramedics determining if the athlete should be taken to the nearest medical center.

GameFace All-Stars

All players participating in GameFace Sports Camps are eligible for nomination to the GameFace All-Star Team.

The cost of registration and housing are covered for these GameFace All-Stars, but each player will need to make their own transportation arrangements to and from the event.

How are they chosen?

Brian Jordan and GameFace coaches select one boy or girl in each age group at each camp based on their skill, ability and commitment to excellence on the field, in the classroom and in life.
