It is recommended students call home upon arrival and notify their family of their room number, bed number and phone number with extension. Students have voice mailboxes and can receive messages. Students are permitted to bring cell phones to camp.
Long distance and international calls can be placed directly from the room, provided the student uses a phone card, credit card or calls collect. Phone cards may be purchased at the Front Desk.

Dining

Cafeteria-style dining is offered in the junior dining room. Students must have their identification card (issued at check-in) to be served.
Lunch is provided for all non-boarding students. Additional meals can be purchased at the junior front desk. You can also purchase a meal package from the reservation department.

Health Services

Health Services is comprised of Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical nurses to provide care to your child. They are available on campus or by phone seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. They provide first aid, dispensation of medications and observation beds. Their goal is to assure that your child has a safe and healthy camp experience.
Your child should not bring over-the-counter medications to camp. Health Services have medications available for pain, fever, cough, allergy symptoms, nausea, diarrhea, headache and insect bites.
If your child receives daily medication, they should be brought to Health Services upon arrival. Students are not allowed to keep any medications in their rooms. Prescription medications must be in original containers and labeled with the child’s name (not another family member’s name), prescribing doctor’s name and directions as to how medication is to be given. Do not send medications in weekly pill dispensers. When applicable, please provide English translation for medications.
If your student is taking medications by injections these must be approved by Health Services BEFORE your student arrives at IMG. There are many medications such as allergy shots that are not given at IMG.
If the participant has a chronic medical condition which requires special attention such as diabetes, severe allergies or the like, please contact IMGA's Health Services Dept (941.752.2479) to learn what special requirements might be applicable to attend or to board at IMG Academies before you make travel arrangements.
Please provide your child with sunscreen and insect repellant. Instruct your child to apply sunscreen numerous times a day.
Please instruct your child on the importance of adequate fluid consumption. The students work hard outside in a hot and humid climate. Dehydration occurs quickly. There are several ice machines and water faucets, available all hours on campus to fill containers. In addition, water and Gatorade are provided at each sport.
If you have any questions, please call Health Services at 941-752-2479.
Spending Money

A personal account may be opened for each student with cash, check or credit card payment. If a credit card is used, the ‘Student Bank Form’ must be completed. Based on past history, an amount of $100 per week is adequate for personal spending. Additional money may be deposited at any time.
Withdrawals from the account may be done during posted bank hours. No exceptions are made to these hours. Prior to departure, students should withdraw all money remaining in the account. If the student fails to withdraw funds, a check will be sent to the student’s home address.
IMG Academies is not responsible for any money that is not deposited in a student’s personal bank account.

Parking

All students who drive themselves here must receive a parking pass from the operations center (front gate) when they arrive at the Academy. The student will be directed to the appropriate parking area. Failure to park in an appropriate area will result in towing of the vehicle.
Boarding students are not permitted use of their vehicle while enrolled in any of our boarding programs. The student’s keys are to be turned in and placed in the manager’s safe. The student can pick them up when he/she checks out of the Academy.

Safety & Security

Our front entrance to the Academy is gated and no one is allowed in without proper identification and reason. We have security 24 hours per day and 365 days per week at the front gate and in the apartments.
There is limited locker space available on campus. Locks may be purchased at the front desk. Non-boarding students must remove their belongings nightly.
IMG Academies is not responsible for any lost or missing items. It is recommended that electronic items (I Pods, Game Boys, Computers, etc,) not be brought to camp. All personal items should be clearly marked in indelible pen.
Lost and found items are kept at either the Front Desk or Student Services Office.
