What are some tips for new campers?2025-04-22T22:56:24+00:00

Bring towels and washcloths. The bedding package includes only a small towel. You are likely to take more than one shower a day.

Bring lots of t-shirts and underwear. You get lots of exercise and will sweat a lot!

The cafeteria might only have paper cups and/or plastic utensils. To help reduce waste, you could bring your own cup, mug, and metal utensils for use in the cafeteria. There are sinks in the dorm for washing them between uses.

Ice for your water bottles will be available in the Grace Covell courtyard and the cafeteria. Ice for coolers must be purchased elsewhere.

Cooking in your dorm room is not allowed.

Is there a store nearby?2025-04-22T22:55:51+00:00

There is a small grocery store called The Grove on campus (across the quad from the dining hall). The Smart Food Market and Target (both about a mile away) have personal items you may have forgotten.
