Participation
Jõekääru Kalev Volleyball Camp accepts participants between the ages 8-17 years of age. Our CIT (Coaches in Training) program is available to interested participants 18+ yrs. For more information/registration regarding the CIT program, please contact Taimo Ilves at ilvest3@hotmail.com.
IMPORTANT
This camp is a highly active (approximately 6 hours of volleyball training a day) training camp for children WITH ALL ABILITIES! Beginners to advanced participants are ALL welcome. We cater to the children who just want to have fun (and LOTS of fun it is!) as well as to those who are seeking a greater skill development.
We try to maintain a 1:6 trainer to camper ratio to help the children develop their skills and learn to play great volleyball. We also have regular camp counselors available during this time.
Registration
The Early Bird registration deadline for discounted rates is until May 15th, 2026.
The Participation Fees
The discounted rate of $605.00 CAD per child is available until May 15th, 2026 (post-dated cheques are accepted. First cheque must be dated May 15th, 2026).
The full camp fee is $670.00 CAD per child if received after May 15th, 2026.
As a result of costs and labour to maintain the Jõekääru ground facilities, we have implemented an additional fee of $175.00 CAD/family OR a one 7-hr workday, per family. Pre-camp 2026 workdays are May 2th, June 6, and June 20th at Jõekääru Camp. We hope to see you there!
NOTE: If your family has any children that attend regular camp, there is no additional cost or workday required for JK Volleyball camp.
Camp fees include the cost of a volleyball camp t-shirt!
Participating campers are required to have their own volleyball at camp. If they do not yet own a quality volleyball, they will be available for purchase at a cost of $75.00 CAD during registration.
