Rocky's Residents ensure camper safety through a robust residence hall security program supported by staff supervision and University Police (UP) assistance.

By combining staff vigilance with professional law enforcement, we create a safe and secure environment for all campers.

Parents, guardians, and siblings are the only approved visitors during the summer component of Rocky's Residents. We ask that visits be limited to Monday Move-In and Friday Check-Out. All visits must be pre-arranged with a USF Office of Youth Experiences staff member to ensure smooth logistics and proper coordination.

If a camper becomes sick or injured during the Rocky's Residents program, our first priority is their health and well-being. We have trained staff and counselors who are prepared to handle minor illnesses and injuries. For any medical concerns, the camper will be taken to the appropriate medical facility or USF Health Services if necessary. Parents/guardians will be promptly contacted in the event of a serious illness or injury. We will work closely with healthcare providers to ensure the camper receives the care they need.

Campers may leave the Rocky's Residents program early only with prior approval from the USF Office of Youth Experiences. If a camper needs to leave early due to illness, family emergency, or other extenuating circumstances, parents/guardians must contact the program staff to make arrangements. Proper documentation and coordination will be required to ensure the camper鈥檚 safe departure from the program.

Campers are allowed to bring electronics such as phones, tablets, and gaming devices; however, these items must be used responsibly and in accordance with program guidelines. Electronics should not interfere with camp activities or the camper鈥檚 engagement with others. During scheduled group activities, campers will be encouraged to keep certain electronics stored safely in their rooms. Please note that the program is not responsible for lost or damaged items.

Cancellations made up to 15 business days before the start date of Rocky's Residents are eligible for a full refund, minus a non-refundable processing fee. Cancellations within 15 business days of the start date are non-refundable.
