She had such wonderful experiences that our University has now become her university. Almost 16, she plans to enroll here as a freshman in three years.
Recruitment is one of the powerful benefits of summer camps.
College is a less intimidating place when you are exposed to it at a young age and in an such an informal, friendly way. From June into August, camps coordinated through the Division of Continuing Education, the School of Music and the Student Recreation Center provided academic, sports and recreational activities in 38 areas. This year about 5,800 young people, grades 1 through 12, took advantage of the University's offerings. The camps drew campers from all parts of the state and from out of state, some coming from as far as Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Some commute, others stay in campus housing, and a surprising number come to visit relatives in the area and attend camps while they are here.
