She is signed and sealed with about a 45% scholarship is class of 2015. Cost of camp & flight about $900. We are not rich and money is a concern but we want to start out on the right foot and not have her missing camp in the back of the coaches minds in the fall. She did attend last year and the cost will not break the bank any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks plus she is good either way missing or going.


I would communicate frankly with the Coach. My bet is they will understand. I think skipping the camp to focus on other financial priorities should be perfectly acceptable. If the coach is not understanding then that in itself may be a bad sign.
