Q: : --.-A '...--'Ai'-S Gui i ii i i5i Siu lvvl Learning in the off-season h, summer. Those precious three months of the year where education takes a backseat to tanning, tourism, and extra sleep. Who would think of going back to school over the summer unless you absolutely had to? Many Centerites did spend time over the summer beefing up their education in one way or another at various camps, clinics, and workshops held throughout the Mid-west. The Sunday following the end of school, joumalism stu- dents travelled to the University of Missouri at Columbia for a week-long workshop on the fundamentals of writing, pho- tography and layout. A week later, Craig Peltzie 1119 and Aar- on Racine 1115 also went to MU for the Missouri Scholars Academy. Members of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. attended the Regional Teen In- stitute, a five-day seminar on teenage crisis assistance. In the past few years, the institute has been responsible for the cre- ation of the Natural I-Ielpers program. As July rolled around, the weather became hotter, but that didn't prevent Centerites from attending more school-re- lated activities. The Drill Team attended a camp at the Univer- sity of Kansas, and members of the Political Science-Octagon club successfully defended their quiz bowl championship for the third consecutive year at the Business Sr Economic Strate- gies for Teens 1BESTJ conference, held at William Jewell Col- lege in Liberty. August saw even more workshops helping with prepara- tions for the upcoming school year. The cheerleaders went to a camp at Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg on August 4-7, the marching band prepared for their season with a camp at the end of the month, and prospective doctors attended the 4-li Teen Scene, a program exploring various fields of medicine. Even the faculty got into the spirit of summer workshops this year, holding a two-day retreat at Unity Village on August 26-27. Was spending limited vacation time in a leaming environ- ment worth it? Lisa D'Alesio 1111, may have summed up all A A H of the programs in her description of cheerleading camp, lt was a lot of fun, but it was also a lot of hard work. - Jeff Field f BISUMMER CAMPS DESIGN ...
