Q. Can I sign up my child if he/she is only 8?

A. We usually don't recommend that children this young sign up for our camps, but we leave it up to the discretion of the parents as we have been proved wrong before.  Our camps are intense and a lot of hard work.  We encourage all kids the same and don't place limitations on anyone at camp.  There have been very few children who could not meet the rigors of our training, or who did not have the stamina or physical abilities required.

Q. How does Conditioned Minds group it's campers?

A. Campers are grouped by age and initial ability, with the understanding that some campers may be moved up based on size and/or skill level.  That being said, campers are expected to give their best at all times no matter what the situation. 

Q. Can my child be placed in the same group as a friend?

A. Campers may request to be grouped with a friend at camp; however, it is not always possible or advisable to put campers in the same subgroup.  Please note that campers will spend most of their day together, regardless of subgroup divisions.

A. The Conditioned Minds office is available to take calls Monday through Friday bewteen 7:00am and 6:00pm.  In most cases, the Camp Director, Rodney Zimmerman will be on call during camp.  His direct number is (404) 380-0534 and email is rodney@conditionedminds.org. 

Q. Are your camps intense and challenging enough for my High School child?

All children will gain insight to self-motivation.  Every child will improve self-motivation and attitudes while developing stronger communication and listening skills that will help them on the court, on the field, in the classroom, and at home.  Physically they will be challenged and encouraged at the highest level while being fundamentally instructed on the sport.
