Final camp payment is due on or before June 21st.

The All-Arts, Sciences & Technology Camp will not be responsible for items left behind or in the dorms.

Dear Parents and Campers,

The first day of camp (Sunday) is an important day for campers and staff. We spend time getting to know each other and start our team-building activities. After our first all-camp meeting, we eat dinner together and practice our class changing procedures. At 9:00pm, day campers go home to rest up for the next day’s classes and activities. Residential campers end the day with an exciting and fun tug-of-war competition, then return to their dorms.

• Sunday check-in We’re usually very busy getting ready right before registration, so we will not be able to

check anyone in early. If you do arrive early, take a walk around campus or find a cool place to relax for a while.

• If you arrive late

There are usually staff members close by who can direct you to your colony group or you may find us in the cafeteria. If you think you may arrive after 4:00pm, call our camp office at 336.944.1525.

The All-Arts, Sciences & Technology Camp (AASTC) is sponsored by UNCG Division of Continual Learning (DCL). If you have questions about your billing statement, course changes, cancellation, etc., please contact the DCL Registration Center at 336.315.7742.

Parent Phone Calls and Visits We feel it is in the best interest of campers and parents alike to restrict both visits and phone calls. If you wish to inquire about a camper’s well-being or needs, leave a message for the camp director at 336.944.1525. Due to camp activities and the number of campers attending, it may take awhile to get back in touch with you. However, we will respond immediately if it is an emergency. Cell phones for campers are discouraged. Parents insisting that their camper have a cell phone at camp must sign the attached Cell Phone Policy Agreement and bring it to Sunday check-in.

Airport Pick-up & Drop-offIf you are considering flying your child to or from camp, the closest airport to Greensboro is the Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO). Contact De Fuller at 336.315.7796 to make arrangements for pick-up and/or drop-off.

NOTE: $25 charge for transportation each way

Camp Dance Theme FabulousFiftiesWho hasn’t watched “Grease” and thought, “why don’t people dress like that anymore?” OK, probably nobody does, but for just one night, it’s poodle skirts, ankle socks and hair ribbons for the ladies and white Ts, blue jeans, slicked-back hair and attitude for the guys, or go prep with madras shirts, letter sweaters and chinos. Who knows, maybe we’ll start a trend.

An alternative activity for the younger campers is a carnival with games and prizes.

Camp Mail If you wish to send your camper mail, please send it early enough to ensure it will be delivered while your camper is still on campus. You must include your camper’s colony name in the address. Address camper mail in the following manner:

Checklistfor Residential Campers

This summer, we’re inviting all of our campers to support those in need

by participating in our T-Shirt Tycoon class! Campers enrolled in this

course will be designing original one-of-a-kind T-shirts and marketing

them to their fellow campers to raise money for local charities. All

campers can participate in the class by bringing an extra $5–$10 in cash to

buy a T-shirt during the camp week. This is strictly voluntary and 100% of

the money generated will be donated to a local charity in the campus area!

The All-Arts, Sciences & Technology Camp believes that cell phones take away from the camp experience and discourages them at camp. Parents who insist that their camperhaveacell

phoneatcampmustsignthisCampCellPhonePolicystatement.

Cell Phones May be Used only while campers are in the dormitory, or when directed by the camp director, nurse, or super counselor.

Cell Phones May Not be Used anytime outside the dormitory or after “lights out.”

Cell phones or other such messaging devices must be turned OFF (not just “vibrate”) and kept out of sight in the camper’s backpack at all times. Any violation of this policy will result in the confiscation of the cell phone. Confiscated cell phones will be returned to the camper’s parent upon departure. The All-Arts, Sciences & Technology Camp will not be responsible for lost, stolen, or broken cell phones.

Bullying is when one or more people exclude, tease, taunt, gossip, hit, kick, or put down another person with the intent to hurt them. Bullying happens when a person or group of people try to exercise power over another person and use this power to get their way at someone else’s expense. Bullying is hurtful regardless of what form it takes. In extreme cases, it can escalate until people are physically harmed.

Bullying is not tolerated at the our camp. We have a firm policy against all types of bullying. We work as a team to ensure that campers gain self-confidence, make new friends, and go home with great memories. Campers who are bullied may go home with negative memories about camp even if everything else about their camp experience was positive.

In your camp registration packet, parents and campers signed the Camp Policies form which states: A camper may be expelled from camp without refund for violation for disrupting behavior that endangers or detracts from others’ camp experience.

Our leadership team takes all instances of bullying seriously. We train our staff to promote good communication between campers and staff so that everyone is comfortable alerting us about bullying. Every person has the right to expect to have the best possible experience at camp, and by working together as a team to identify and manage bullying, we can help ensure that all campers and staff have a great summer at AASTC.

Camp Cell Phone Policy

I have read, understand, and agree to the terms stated in theCamp No Bullying Policy and the Camp Cell Phone Policy.
