Please plan to arrive no later than 8:45 a.m. If you are dropping off your student and need a drop-off earlier 8:00 a.m., please contact Dr. Tena Wooldridge at wooldria@nsuok.edu so that we can make arrangements for the building to be open and someone to be available.

Drop-Off Tahlequah Students: NSU Professor Emeritus, Kin Thompson will be transporting you to the Broken Arrow campus on Monday.  Please meet Kin Thompson in front of the University Center on the NSU Tahlequah campus each weekday, ready to leave by 8:00 am. 

Evening Pick-Up: Students should be picked up by 5:00 p.m. on their respective campus (BA or Tahlequah) each camp day.

Food: All lunches will be provided as well as snacks; however, if your student is picky or you have concerns due to dietary restrictions, you may also elect to bring lunch or snack as well. We are fortunate that many of our venues are hosting lunch when we visit. This will likely mean pizza or sandwiches can be expected on those days. If there are any concerns regarding food, please feel free to email Dr. Tena Wooldridge at wooldria@nsuok.edu. 

Attire: Students should wear comfortable, classroom-appropriate clothing and close-toed shoes. We will be touring different types of locations and flip-flops or sandals may not be allowed in some of the facilities. For the classroom activities, you may elect to bring a light jacket or a sweatshirt. For some tours you will have a safety vest and a hard hat. These will be provided for each student and are yours to keep. 

Tech Devices: We recognize that students will likely have cell phones but ask students to refrain from using devices during discussions, activities or at venues where many experts are donating their time to make this a rewarding experience for students. There are break times where the use of cell phones is appropriate.  Please do not bring laptops or other tech devices or valuables to the camp as you will not need them, and we are not able to store these items.

Chaperones: In addition to NSU faculty we have undergraduate students who will be assisting with activities and other events.
