we be doing?

will leave from Stevens Point Sunday March 19th in the morning and fly out from
the Dane Country Airport (Madison) to San Jose, CA airport. We will then take a
shuttle to Camp Campbell and arrive midafternoon, we will have the rest of the
day to relax and hang out at camp. Monday will be a training day facilitated by
camp staff where participants will learn how to deal with different situations,
games and icebreakers, and how to work with kids in a residential and outdoor
setting. Tuesday-Friday students will act like camp counselors leading students
through their social activities, attending field study with them, and acting as
their 1st line of support in the cabins at night. We will then leave Friday
