Tips/Advice

• NEVER swing your lanyard or bad things will happen to you

• Food
  • Bring plenty of snacks and money to buy snacks because the food has a reputation was being disgusting and literally sickening
  • Like most sites, peanut based foods are rare in the dining hall
  • Dining hall is composed of six main food areas (main dishes, pizza/nacho/taco/etc bar, salad/sandwich bar, desserts, and ice cream/cereal nook)
  • Clean up all tables or ice cream will be taken away
  • If you go to The Coop and try to get a F'real, the milkshake will melt if you leave it out of the freezer for too long and it will jam the machine.
  • If you live in Kim or Tritton, don't open your windows. The building has some sort of green design and uses temperature and humidity sensors to monitor and control the internal temperature. If the windows are open, it will make the computer running the air conditioning freak out and do weird things, like raise the temperature of the building by 10 or 15 degrees.

• Don't talk to strangers, especially kids at the other camps
