Alumni can escape to KU for vacation
Camp offers classes for adults, children
By Jeff Suggs Kensan staff writer
There's a new camp in town that offers an alternative to the typical family vacation.
From July 5 to 9, the University of Kansas Alumni Association and the division of continuing education are sponsoring a camp for alumni and their families.
"Mike Davis, organizer of the "Jayhawk Great Escape," said the weeklong camp would offer activities and classes that should be educational as well as fun.
Davis, coordinator of membership development at the Alumni Association, said the camp offered an alternative to the traditional family vacation.
"We're trying to provide a stimulating vacation for adults and kids," Davis said. "People are looking for something more substantial in their vacation."
Other universities have had similar programs.
The University of Michigan alumni association has sponsored an alumni camp in the woods of northern Michigan for 27 years.
Greg Fleming, director of Camp Michigania, said the camp ran 11 one-week sessions from June to August, averaging about 280-300 people a week. Fleming said camps for Michigan alumni were also in upstate New York and in Sequoia National Forest in California.
"It's been a very popular program." Fleming said.
The University of North Carolina wasn't as successful. Bo Dunlap, assistant director of alumni affairs, said the university had to discontinue
its alumni camp. Lack of interest and personnel changes were reasons Dunlap gave for the camp's demise.
"We didn't get the needed response that enabled us to continue it," Dunlap said.
lap said. Davis, who expects about 75 people to attend KU's camp, said he wasn't worried about it not being successful.
"We have a good staff, and we feel we can handle the situations the camp will present," Davis said. "If we have 50 or 350 people, we know it's going to be a success."
The camp costs $325 for each adult who attends and $200 for each child. The camp fee covers housing at Naismith Hall, meals and transportation to and from activities.
Davis said adults would attend classes to further their education. He said classes ranging from law ethics to jazz to modern art would be offered. He also said that the camp was a good way for alumni to see the quality of education at the University.
"It will show parents that KU is a great place," Davis said.
For children, Davis said, the camp offers an opportunity for them to learn more about the University. Davis said children would spend mornings at the Adams Outdoor Center near Clinton Lake. In the afternoon, they will take classes at the Spencer Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History. Also planned are tours of KU sports facilities. Davis said some older children would be able to attend classes with their parents if they wanted.
