Approximately 350 incoming first year students at the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder will participate in the second annual Camp ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ on Aug. 20-22 to learn more about ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder traditions.
According to camp organizer Matthew Hiser, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ alumni association director of student relations, students will travel to the Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA Camp outside of Winter Park for activities designed to introduce them to ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder traditions, the Rocky Mountains and fellow classmates.
Annie Kaiser, class of 2004, participated in the camp last year. She said that "Camp ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ was the best thing ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ could have done for me and other incoming `fresh-people.' "
Last year's events included team building activities, a 100-year look at the history of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥, a professor panel, a freshman finance workshop presented by the MBNA Credit Card Group and a special workshop on ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥'s alma mater and fight song presented by ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ cheerleaders. Similar activities are being planned for this year's camp.
College of Arts and Sciences students who will have attended orientation before Aug. 20 were sent invitations to participate. Registration cost is $150, which includes lodging, transportation and meals. Students interested in attending this year's Camp ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ are encouraged to register early because space is limited.
Camp ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ is organized by the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Alumni Association. For additional information contact Matthew Hiser at (303) 735-2677 or email matthew.hiser@cufund.colorado.edu.
