Dormitory Life

Summerscape campers will live in Wallace Hall this year. Wallace was renovated last summer and features suites with four students sharing one bathroom. The first floor lobby provides a great place to talk, play games or create some art. There are kitchenettes on each floor and the laundry facilities are located in the basement. The oldest dorm on campus will provide a great living space for all 'Scapers.

Drury Leadership Academy students will reside for the 2nd year in Sunderland Hall. This dormitory has four single rooms in one suite with two bathrooms. A first floor classroom serves as an art and game room. Laundry rooms are located on each floor. A positive learning and living environment is provided by this dormitory.

Things To Do On Campus

After classes each day, campers will have the opportunity to access some of Drury's resources. Students can swim, play tennis, go to the library, use the computer lab, visit the bookstore or just hang out in the dorm. A variety of activities will also be planned including tournaments, art activities and games. This is a great time to relax after class and enjoy some fun events. Whether you are talking to friends in the dorm or playing a game of tennis, you will find some activity to make you smile every day.

Showcase your Talent

If you are coming to either of the Drury PreCollege residential programs this summer, make sure to be prepared to show off your talent. Besides competing in your house or activity group to win exciting activities, there will also be a talent show for each program. On the second Tuesday, each group will gather to celebrate the talents of their fellow campers. Whether it is a piano solo or a dramatic interpretation, we can't wait for you to share your talent. (and I hear that the RAs have some amazing acts of their own.)

The Dance

Darkness has descended and the student center is dark and dreary. Only shades of white and black exist throughout the ballroom. We can't let this spread! What kind of camp would it be without color? What can we do about such a catastrophe? Please help us bring color back to camp by wearing the brightest colored costumes you have (the more obnoxious the better) to the dance and we will dance our way to a brighter day!

Celebration

Did you know that this is Summerscape's 30th Anniversary and the 25th anniversary for the residential program? We are so excited that you are going to be part of this summer. There are so many fantastic activities planned for you and we can't wait for you to arrive on campus.

Summerscape will be residing in Wallace Hall this year. This dormitory had a complete makeover last summer and we are excited that Scape will be housed there. Sunderland Hall will again play home to the Drury Leadership Academy. We are also excited that many members of our residential staff from last summer will be returning to camp. Betsy will be leading the way at Summerscape and Chance will once again travel to Missouri to lead DLA.

For the next two weeks, we will be posting daily information about camp on this blog. Keep checking back to find out about exciting activities and the wonderful residential staff.
