WHAT KIND OF SUPERVISION WILL THERE BE?

There will be one Missouri S&T student peer counselor assigned to every 10 girls that attend. The counselors will live in the residential hall with them (on an all girls floor) and escort the girls to and from all on and off campus activities. We also have a professional staff who will accompany and monitor the camps activities throughout the day and night. Our staff and counselors will accompany the group on all off campus activities.

It is important that you and your parents know that there will be free time during the camp and that we will not be present at all times.  It is also important that you and your parents are aware that there will be other camps and Missouri S&T students staying in the residential hall during this time. Since it is physically impossible to be present at all times, it is up to the participants to exercise responsibility, good judgment, and abide by the rules.

We have a rules and guidelines that MUST be followed by all participants. If we feel that a participant is in violation of any rule or guideline the participant will be dismissed from the camp immediately and must leave the campus immediately.
