WHERE WILL I BE STAYING?
 The camp takes place on the Missouri S&T campus. You and a roommate will share a comfortable, spacious, air-conditioned suite in one of our residential halls. The residence halls also have a floor lounge and a main lounge with a TV. Campers have an 11:00 p.m. curfew each night.

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 dorm with you (on an all girls floor) and escort you to and from all on and off campus activities. We also have a professional staff that will 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 current Missouri S&T students staying in the residential hall. Since it is physically impossible to be present with all girls at all times, it is up to the participants to exercise responsibility, good judgment, and abide by the rules.

 

To ensure that all campers receive an enjoyable and safe camp experience we have set rules and guidelines that MUST be followed by all participants. If we feel that you are in violation of any rule or guideline your parents will be called and you will be dismissed from the camp immediately.

CAN I CHECK INTO THE RESIDENTIAL HALL ON SUNDAY?
 If traveling from out-of-state or from a distance you can check in on Sunday evening at the residential hall with prior notice and approval from our office and the residential hall. There will be an additional charge for the extra night stay. You and your parents need to be aware that there will be very limited supervision from our counselors and staff during this time and it is not the responsibility of the counselors, staff, or residence hall personnel to supervise and restrict your activities. It will be up to you to exercise responsibility and abide by the camp and residential hall rules. You will need to follow camp check-in and registration Monday morning with the camp staff.
