Camp Brosius
By Jim Bennett

   The dates are finalized for those students planning to take RHI 291/L291 during the first summer session. Lecture time will be on Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 -10:00 p.m. on the following dates: May 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, and 22. Please note that the summer session for the university does not begin until May 8, however the department is permitted to begin classes before that time.

   There will be two sessions at Camp Brosius: May 23 - May 30 and May 30 - June 7. Students are expected to attend camp for the entire period for which they register. Each person will provide their own transportation; car-pooling is encouraged.

   Students registering for the class will receive an information sheet as the many details become finalized. Dean Nick Kellum will attend the first class session on May 6 to provide information and answer any question concerning our involvement at camp.

   In accordance with department policy, students planning to enroll in the couse must have completed RI-Il 191 (Sanitation) or FN 203 (Food Preparation). As enrollment will be limited to fifteen students for each camp week, these pre-requisites must be followed. Although preference will be given to those students scheduled to graduate in August or December, please do not feel that all spaces are “locked-up”; those meeting the aforementioned pre-requisites are encouraged to register for the course.

    Last year’s camp experience was rewarding and fun, and we look forward to a similar time this summer!
