What Do I Need for Overnight Camp?

Campers will be issued a dorm key at the beginning of camp for their dorm room. If you have a lanyard please bring it with you, it’s a great way to keep track of your key. The University may charge up to $100 for lost keys. This is a charge from the college, not the camp. A release for the key needs to be signed by the parents when dorm rooms are issued.  So please stress to your daughters the importance of keeping their key with them at all times and to NOT give it out to anyone else to use.

One day during the week the campers will have time to shop at the Tommie Shop if they want to purchase St. Thomas gear.
