What about food?

Campers will typically dine at Garvey Hall, the University’s dining hall.

Does the University provide transportation to and from the camp?

No. Campers are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from camp. If campers are arriving unaccompanied, an unsupervised commuter agreement is required to be signed and submitted.

Are campers allowed to commute to camp each day?

No, the Catholic University does not have the staffing or resources to allow campers to leave at the end of each day, and campers would miss out on evening events if they were to commute to and from camp. 

Are there any meetings for parents?                                  

No.

How do I apply?

What should campers bring?

Please bring everything you need to stay in dorms for the duration of the camp (five days for Engineering New Frontiers and nine days for Computational Biosciences). This should include snacks, laundry detergent, soap, and shampoo. All food will be provided as well as linens, bedding, and towels. Please also bring workout clothes, as we will spend some time outside or in the athletics facilities. Outdoor activity will depend on air quality. It is also recommended to pack an umbrella and an extra blanket for the dorms.

Is there a dress code?

Casual clothing is OK, but please keep it decent and respectful.

Are campers required to bring laptops?

No, several computer labs are available in Pangborn Hall with all the necessary engineering software packages

Are campers allowed to bring cell phones?

Yes.
