What will
I be doing?
Campers
will be involved in three interactive, hands-on workshops Monday through
Thursday. The workshops you will be assigned to will depend on what you
request on the registration form. Each day you'll be learning something
within the topic of your workshops and doing activities with a maximum
of 20 students per workshop. However, camp is not only about the academics.
There is plenty of opportunity for play.
The
Cougar Quest experience is also balanced with various social and recreational
evening activities. On Monday you will have the opportunity to visit the
WSU bookstore (The Bookie) and Ferdinand's Ice Cream
Shoppe on campus with your hall group. Treat yourself to some WSU
gear or ice cream, or both! Besides these two venues you have the chance
to visit some of the museums and departments on campus. A popular musem
to visit is The Connor Museum.
See all the animals there and take a picture with a moose if you'd like.
Besides the Monday
tour, there is an evening activity each day of camp. You will be able
to try out the award-winning Student
Recreation Center, experience Martin Stadium from the field instead
of the bleachers, play at Rodgers Practice Field (where the WSU football
team practices), and more. These social times are a chance for you to
meet new people; talk to your counselor, gain insight into college
life and WSU, and develop lasting friendships.
