Non-Contact
QBR Camp is a NON-CONTACT camp. We believe that high school and youth players
should learn the fundamentals of their positions without risking the chance
of a season or career-ending injury.
Camp Length - 4Days/3 Nights
Who Should Attend:
HIGH SCHOOL (grades 9 - 12) and
YOUTH (6th, 7th & 8th graders)
Youth players receive the same on-field instruction as the high school players.
Their position meetings are youth football-specific. Please consider your camper’s
maturity level including whether he can get along with other boys and his ability
to spend three nights in a dorm away from home.
Instructional Groups
Players are grouped by position and grade in school.
A's ........ Grades
6, 7 & 8
B's ........ Sophomores & Freshmen
C's ........ Seniors & Juniors
Attending With Teammates
(click
here for Team Discounts)
Strongly recommended. If you attend with one or more of your teammates you will
have the opportunity to work on your timing and non-verbal communication throughout
camp and during our five “team” practice periods.
Attending Without Teammates
Single campers receive the same instruction and number of
repetitions as do teammates.

America’s
#1 Football Camp
Quarterback and Receiver Camp is considered the premier fundamentals-based, non-contact
football camp. Every camper is coached and treated as if he were a potential
Heisman winner and #1 NFL draft pick. Our objective is to develop each player
to his fullest potential and to teach the fundamentals that are reinforced
with hundreds of repetitions at each practice along with emphasizing character
development and leadership.
QBR Camp Philosophy
QBR Camp is known for teaching the fundamentals of the passing
game. For 44 years, QBR Camp does it better then any other
camp.
Coaching Staff
Each camp is headed by a QBR Camp Head Coach who oversees the QBR Camp instructional
program. QBR Camp coaches and staff are selected from quality college, high
school and youth programs. The majority of QBR Camp coaches have previous QBR
Camp experience.
Small Group Instruction
QBR Camp’s coach to camper ratio averages 1:10, ideal for maximum repetitions
with minimum fatigue. Campers rotate with their group through instructional stations
where they learn specific drills, skills and actions and practice them repeatedly
until they become habit.
9 Practices and 5 Position Meetings
A total of nine practices,
with over 15 hours of on-field instruction, and five position
meetings are held during camp. Parents, coaches and guests
are welcome as observers provided they do not interfere with
the instructional program.
Certified Athletic Trainer 
Our
campers’ health and safety is priority #1. A QBR
Camp staff certified athletic trainer is at each camp to
care for accidents, injuries, illnesses and medical emergencies.
Housing/Dorm Supervision
QBR Campers will live in campus dorms, two per room (except
in California where they are housed in up to seven person
suites). Campers will be assigned a roommate based on: 1)
name of preferred roommate listed on camper’s application;
2) same school; and 3) similar age and grade. Each camper
will have his own bed and mattress. In lieu of air
conditioning we recommend that campers bring an electric
fan. California camps 1 and 2 will have air conditioning.
QBR Camp staff and coaches live on the same floors as the
campers and provide adult supervision throughout camp.

| Security/Key Deposit
A security/key deposit of $60 is required to be paid at check-in.
Every camper must have his own room key. The deposit will
be refunded at check-out provided there is no room damage
and the room key is returned.
Meals and Snack Bar
All-you-can-eat-meals are provided by the host college. A
snack bar is available each night after the position meeting
where food and snacks may be purchased.
Personal Valuables
Campers are responsible for their own valuables. QBR Camp
assumes no responsibility for lost or stolen camper property.
QBR Camp does not provide camp banking services.
Camp Store
Campers may purchase QBR Camp instructional aids and practice
gear at the Camp Store throughout camp. Click
here to visit our Camp Store.
Leisure Time
Due to QBR Camp’s comprehensive instructional program
we do not offer swimming, weight training, basketball or
other recreational activities. We encourage campers to rest
between practice sessions to achieve maximum learning.
Transportation/ Directions to Camp
Campers are responsible for their own transportation to and
from camp. Our insurance coverage prohibits QBR Camp to
transport or arrange carpools for campers. Campers who
arrive before the opening day of camp must make their own
off-campus accommodations. Airport shuttle information
is available on the Football
Camps Dates, Locations page. |

Your son is expected to check in himself. Parents are encouraged
to let their son, regardless
of his age, check in himself. Part of the QBR Camp experience
is to teach independence, self-confidence
and leadership. Check-In is 9:30am -1:00pm. |
|
| 3. |
Dormitories – For safety
and security reasons once camp officially starts at 1:30 p.m.
on the first day of camp only QBR Camp staff and campers are
allowed in the dorms until check-out the last day. |
|
| 4. |
Practices – We request
that parents and guests stay well outside the boundary areas
where practice is held and to wait until after practice to talk
to a camper. Please refrain from making any comments during
practices. |
|
|
| 5. |
Meals – Parents are discouraged from
eating with their son in the college cafeteria. Again, we are
encouraging our campers independence, and to meet other players. |
| 6. |
Housing for Parent and Guests

take advantage of the local motels, hotels and bed and breakfasts
listed on the website under “Camp Locations.” The

Camp Rules and Regulations |
|
Parents and Guests : Only campers
and staff will be allowed in the dorms after campers the opening
camp meeting at 1:30. Parents and guests attending practice
sessions may not enter the practice field or make statements
to players or coaches until after practice has ended. Parents
and guests attending meetings are there to observe only.
Attending QBR Camp is a privilege. You are expected to
follow all QBR Camp rules and regulations, both written below
and those stated verbally at camp. Your personal safety
is our primary concern. You represent your family, school
and community and we expect the highest quality of behavior from
every camper. QBR Camp maintains the right to dismiss
any camper for just cause, including violating the rules and
regulations below without refund.
|
| 1. |
It is your responsibility
to notify either the Head Coach or the Camp Director
of any problem or concern that you may have regarding
ANY aspect of your QBR CAMP experience. We
can fix things during camp; they can’t be fixed
afterwards. |
| 2. |
Profanity, hazing, threatening or
bullying behavior, off-color jokes, references to race, creed,
ethnicity, nationality, religion, individual appearance,
personal preferences or any other distinction WILL
NOT BE TOLERATED. |
| 3. |
A $60 cash security/key deposit
will be collected at check-in. Every camper is required to
have his own room key. If you lose your
key the lost key charge will be deducted from the deposit. |
| 4. |
Roommates have been pre-assigned based on
the name you listed as your roommate preference on your application,
followed by same school, similar grade and age. Unauthorized
room changes are prohibited. |
| 5. |
Campers are responsible for maintaining
their dorm room and common dorm areas (lounges, hallways, elevators,
etc.) in the same condition as they were found at the start
of camp. Any alteration to the original condition of the dorms
when you arrived including, but not limited to, damage, excessive
litter, furniture that’s been moved, etc. is prohibited.
All furniture must be returned to its location when you arrived
at camp. Costs incurred will come from the key/security deposit
of those who were responsible. Any costs above the $60 security/key
deposit will be billed to your family and/or school/team. Trash
bags will be provided in each room. |
| 6. |
As soon as you enter your dorm
room after checking in, look it over thoroughly for any pre-existing
damage including broken furniture & windows, missing or
torn screens (never remove screens), etc. If there’s
any pre-existing damage it is your responsibility to fill out
the “QBR CAMP Dorm Room Damage” form from the Camp
Director at check-in and fill it out with your roommate(s)
and return it to the Camp Director prior to the first practice.
This will protect you from being assessed room damage charges
for which you are not responsible. |
| 7. |
Keep your dorm room neat and
clean throughout camp. Before checking out of camp on the last
day every camper’s dorm coach will be thoroughly inspected
by his dorm coach for damage, litter, furniture misplacement,
etc. After he’s approved the overall condition of the
room he will give the camper a “Room/Dorm Check-Out” form
that he has signed. Take this form to camp check out along
with your room key and receive your $60 security/key deposit. |
