Privacy Policy
We maintain a commitment to the privacy of our members.  Our privacy policy strictly forbids that we sell or give out member information.  We will not entertain solicitations for such information.

OYA Mail Call
As overnight campers, we loved getting care packages from mom and dad.  Our day campers can experience this same thrill with our OYA Mail Call.  We have our own official mailbox for you to deposit your letters, care packages and such into when you drop off your campers in the morning (without the expense of shipping).  Kids are so excited to get the mail and it’s a great way for you to let them know that you are thinking about them.  Please be sure to drop off all packages no later than Wednesday morning.  We will have Mail Call on Wednesday during our lunch club daily roll call.  If your child is not involved in our lunch club program, deliveries will be made (to your child) on Thursday morning at the start of their camp.  We will still be accepting your mail via the US Postal Service if you prefer to send it “officially”.  Please send all mail to Oakland Yard Athletics addressed in the following manner, with ATTN: Mail Call in the bottom right corner of the envelope.

Rain Day Policy
In the event of rain, Oakland Yard campers will participate in an indoor field day with all of the campers from all camps inside the dome.  Although campers will be welcome to stay for the day when it rains, they may be asked to participate in activities other than the camp for which they have registered.  There will be a variety of activities offered throughout the morning such as capture the flag, kick ball, soccer, and football to name a few.  We understand that many parents rely on Oakland Yard Camps to care for their children while they are at work.  Please be assured that we will never turn your child away on a rain day.  We just ask that you are aware that your child’s day may not revolve around the activities for which they have enrolled.  That is, if they have enrolled for golf for the week, they will not be golfing on the rain day.  Camps that generally do go about their business on rain days are Sports & Games, Arts & Crafts, Soccer, Hip Hop and Cheerleading.  There will be no makeup days offered if a rain day should occur, except where noted.

Electronics
All electronics (Gameboys, MP3 Players, etc.) will be prohibited.  Many of these items are expensive and Oakland Yard Athletics cannot be held responsible for the loss or theft of these items.  Additionally, our experience has shown us that these items create distractions for campers, who we encourage to participate in active and social activities.
