Frequently Asked Questions
We encourage everyone interested, including out-of-state individuals, to apply for camps.
Campers should have a parent or guardian bring them to camps. On check in day we have a parent orientation where important information regarding your child's experience will be shared. Also, please be on time to pick your child up at the end of the camp; we will have closing activities you may want to see and UWW staff will be preparing for the arrival of new guests.
Yes, this is a residential camp. Students sleep in the UW-Whitewater Residence Halls, eat at the dining facilities, and participate in activities all over campus. If you are attending a camp that extends longer than one week, please be sure to check the details regarding weekend attendance for the specific camp.
Please come back to the PreCollege Facebook page often! While the staff is out and about having fun and learning new things with your child, we will post agendas, pictures, and news from each of the camps.
Students are provided with three nutritious meals per day. Most of those meals are eaten in a dining hall on campus; while a few meals are consumed at eateries local to the area of a field trip.
No! While we provide many interactive academic activities, we are not in class all day. Students participate in daily, age appropriate, recreational and cultural activities. We also take weekly field trips within the region. These field trips include visits to other college campuses where students can hear about programs related to camp focused majors. Finally, we make sure all students hear about the great resources on the UW-Whitewater campus should they decide to pursue their post secondary educational goals with us.
