FAQ

How do I register?

The first step for registration is to reach out to Okare. Each of the programs we offer may have different registration steps, so the best way to register is to contact the Okare team and start the process with their guidance.

You will begin by pre-registering through the pre-registration form we direct you to.

I'm an athlete — can I register individually?

You can register individually for many of our sports camps.

Individual participation is also possible for the competitions we offer in individual disciplines such as swimming, tennis and athletics.

In addition, we also have programs where teams formed from individual participants compete.

You can find this information in the program's details.

I'm a coach/manager — do I have to pay a participation fee too?

Many of our programs offer free participation for a coach/manager in return for a certain number of participants.

As this varies from program to program, it is best to contact the Okare team with your group's details and get a suitable group price quote.

Can I find out details such as hotel names?

For some of our programs the accommodation options are fixed. In that case we can share information so you can review the hotels/camp facilities where you will stay. For other programs the accommodation options are arranged according to your choice and the program's occupancy; in that case we can inform you of the accommodation details some time before the event.

But don't worry — working together with you, we are always in contact with the program organisers to arrange accommodation where you and your group will be comfortable.

How do we make payments?

The payment terms required by our different programs can vary.

For your payments, you should contact the Okare team to get information along with a program-specific offer.

I'm a parent — can I join too?

Parent participation is permitted for some of our programs. In that case, for you parents, we can offer accommodation either at the athletes' accommodation centres or at other accommodation options.

Parent participation fees vary; for detailed information please contact the Okare team.

Can you provide additional services on request?
