Frequently Asked Questions
I need to mail a package to my student while they are at camp. Where do I send it?
Please use the address below. Mail is distributed during General Assembly each day.
STUDENT NAME c/o John Ore, Camp Director
Fine Arts Bldg.
1001 East University Avenue
Georgetown, TX 78626
How old does a student have to be to attend?
Students who will be enrolled in high school in the fall are eligible to apply. An 8th grader can apply to the camp in the spring and attend in the summer because they will enroll in high school in the fall. Graduating high school seniors must submit a letter of intent to the camp director for review before application is filed.
Do the boys and girls live together in the same dorm?
While the campers will be housed in the same dorm they are strictly divided by floor level. There is a Male and Female dorm supervisor that live on each floor whose only job is to monitor and ensure the safety of these students. In addition there are camp counselors, teachers, and directors living on each floor ensuring this separation. No males are allowed on the female floor and no females are allowed on the male floor whether they are a student or staff member. Anyone who breaks this rule will be expelled from camp.
If I live close, can I commute to camp instead of living in the dorms?
We treat the camp as a pre-collegiate experience and require all students to live in the dorm and use our meal plan. In the past we have offered this, but we found that the commuter students often felt like and were treated as outsiders. We want everyone to have the same positive experience.
Does your camp fill up or can I wait to complete my application?
The past 2 years the camp has filled up and we have had a waiting list for admission. We take applications on a first-come first-serve basis. We only accept 75 students into our summer program. We would advise you to get your application in as soon as possible.
Should I bring my bathing suit to camp?
Yes, please bring your bathing suit as we will have a swimming event during the camp.
