Student safety is our primary focus. This means being free from sickness, physical injury, and emotional hurt.

Students are housed in secure campus dormitories. Female students are housed on floors or wings designated for female students only. Lights are out in the rooms at 10:30 pm. Except in medical or fire emergencies, students are to be in their own rooms at this time and camp staff will not be in student rooms. Dormitories are supervised at night. The student/advisor ratio is 10:1, with advisors living on the same floor as their students.

Medical problems receive timely and proper attention – camp nurse, physician, or hospital, as merited by the case. Those who have special medical or dietary needs are looked after accordingly. The Health Form asks for the list of any medical problems such as asthma, allergies, reactions and other problems.

Students have access to college athletic facilities and computers. Opportunities are provided for social and cultural activities as well as trips to the outdoors and local attractions.

Parents can telephone with students on a regular basis. It used to be that colleges had land lines to each dorm room, but most of our hosts have eliminated those lines now that most college students have cell phones. For MathPath students who don't have cell phones (or cell phones that work in the US) we will provide a way for them to call home. Sometimes we have a special room or two that do have land lines, from which students can call out using a calling card. Sometimes we provide a few cell phones that are passed around on a schedule to those students without cell phones.  

We strive to provide a place that is at least as safe as the student's home, where the student is treated with respect, the program is challenging but not overwhelming and the academic activities are balanced by athletic, social and cultural activities. Details are in the pre-camp information sent to enrolled students.
