2002 Camp Information

You might want to check out the Camp Photos from 2002, or the 2002 Campers (to see their web pages, click below their portraits).

We had two sessions: Session I (June 17 - June 28) and Session II (July 15 - July 26). The campers were in teams of about 10 girls - ages ranging from 10 to 13, from all over the area. Katie Green was our conselor for both sessions. In the classes, campers worked on projects in smaller groups of 2 or 3 or 4 (depending on the class).

The faculty was from Wilkes: Dr. Barbara Bracken, Dr. John Harrison, Dr. Anthony Kapolka, and Mrs. Peggy Sullivan.
