Camps come to campus
By J.P. Conroy Staff Reporter
When summer camp comes to mind, memories appear of children leaving on a bus headed to a remote destination for such outdoor activities as hiking, climbing or swimming.
turing, fishing and swimming.
But here at Camp KU, a variety of summer programs are offered for elementary, junior and senior high school students, ranging from basketball and tennis to music and computer science.
About 3,000 campers will make the journey to the campus from as far as Italy, Hawaii and Alaska. The camps range in length from one week to one month and range in price from $150 to $1,020.
Basketball and tennis camps started this week and the other varsity sports camps will start later. At the Larry Brown Kanser Camp, campers experience a busy week.
Their days start with a 7 a.m. wake-up and teaching sessions in the morning. In the afternoon, players receive a lecture from head basketball coach Larry Brown, followed by individual instruction. In the evening, the participants compete in more games and view films.
About 1,200 participants are expected for five one-week sessions. Fourteen are Italian exchange students who are staying in the Kansas City area. The cost for the week is $205, which includes instruction, meals and housing at Naismith Hall for the participants.
Between 300 and 340 players are expected for the two one-week sessions of the Mike Gottfried Jayhawk Football Camp. Football players will go through various practices starting June 9 and June 16.
'Sometimes it's a confidence builder for students from small towns, because they can compare their abilities with the abilities from students from other schools. It also makes them realize that they're not disadvantaged because they come from a small school.'
—David Bushouse
David Bushouse Midwestern Camps coordinator
Activities include weightlifting and swimming each day. Willie Peete and Jim Vichiarella, assistant coaches for the Kansas City Chiefs, will be two of the guest speakers.
Bud Ratliff, recruiting coordinator, said Monday that the summer camp helped in recruiting high school students, as well as giving them a taste of what it takes to play collegiate football.
A myriad of other summer camps for junior and senior high school students focus on academics rather than athletics. Under the auspices of Midwestern Camps, students can choose astronomy, computer science, journalism, music, speech and debate and the Summer Honors Institute.
About 1,400 campers will attend this summer's Midwestern camps, said David Bushouse. Midwestern Camps coordinator and music camp director. The camps are expected to generate more than $300,000 in revenue. Bushouse said about one-third of the revenue will go toward salaries for camp officials.
He said Midwestern Camps provided residence hall space and supervision for students, but the individual programs were run by each department.
The Midwestern Music Camp,
celebrating its 50th year is the oldest of
camps, founded in 1906. Camp officials
are planning an alumni reunion July 26
"I think recruiting is one of the benefits (of the programs)." Bushouse said, "but with the facilities and faculty, it provides much more for us. That is not available at home for them."
