ڰ offers Camp Bengal to new students
August 17, 2007
New student orientation isn’t all about the workshops any more. This year, the ڰ News Student Orientation office is combining traditional student orientation workshops with outdoor activities in hopes that students will establish a support network with fellow students and learn the skills necessary to make their first year of college a successful one.
The camp takes place Aug. 20-23 at various locations. The participants will spend three days and camp two nights together.
“Hopefully, 20 years from now (camp participants) will be saying, ‘I met my best friend at ڰ Camp Bengal,” said Jason Schlegel, NSO and Student Activities coordinator.
Some of the camp’s itinerary includes:
• Aug. 20, Kickoff, 8-10 am., Hutchinson Quadrangle; climbing wall, geocaching and kayaking, 10:10 a.m.-12:40 p.m.; “Pluralism and the University Culture” lecture, 1:50-2:50 p.m.; “Academic Success” lecture, 6:25-7:30 p.m., Camp Taylor; Star Gazing, 9:45-10:30 p.m.
