Items of Concern
1. Clothing: Warm weather clothing will be appropriate for most occasions. This includes casual and sports wear, such as shorts, swim suits, cut-offs, and sneakers or hiking shoes for the weekend excursions. Some people also enjoy wearing a sweater in air-conditioned buildings. Finally, an umbrella or other rain gear may prove helpful in the event of rain.
Note: Please bring non-marking tennis or basketball shoes for use in the gym, volleyball,
basketball or aerobics.
2. Laundry: Coin-operated laundry facilities are available in the dorm. Washers cost $.75 per load and dryers $.75 per load. Ironing boards are also available. Bring an iron if needed.
3. Rooms: We are staying in a community bath dormitory on campus. Separate floors of the dorm are provided for male and female students. The dorm is air-conditioned, complete with a lounge suitable for relaxing and small-group discussions, a small recreation area, and study rooms on the first floor. Counselors and students will be provided with access cards and room keys. There is a $40 charge for a lost key.

Additionally, each student must bring a pillow, twin sheets, a blanket, and towels. All personal items of value should be labeled with the student's name, address, and telephone number. Insurance and records (make, model, serial number) are a recommended precaution as the Math Camp is not liable for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings.

Students are expected to follow all campus rules and regulations and to respect university property and facilities. Parents will be billed for any damage caused by their children's negligence. Students not following rules or not participating in classes will be sent home immediately after parents/guardians are notified of their impending arrival.
