Staff development is an important component of the Camp Adventure program. Students are provided with an opportunity to extend their classroom learning in Camp Adventure College, organized and supervised by the University of Northern Iowa teaching staff and the UNI Camp Adventure program staff. Most students will begin departing for sites world-wide in early June. Most Students will be living in military housing, on a military base. The housing accommodations vary greatly in their sophistication.
Some housing is very basic and other housing is extremely nice.
The base is a safe environment, and laid out just like any small American town, with restaurants, recreation facilities, parks, playing fields and homes. They can sign you on base as a visitor for a limited amount of time, but they would need to arrange this in advance. After they land at their site, students may not be able to call or contact family and friends immediately, so patience is requested. They will be setting up their camps, getting supplies and transportation, making contact with military staff and receiving orientation from the military. In addition, if your relative is overseas, there will be only a few phones that they can use to make overseas calls.
