Registration for Carolina Way Camp 2020 is open! As you all know, UNC will now begin classes on Monday, August 10th. In light of this, Carolina Way Camp will now take place from Thursday, August 6th - Saturday, August 8th
This year’s Carolina Way Camp is designed with three priorities in mind:
To provide an incredible camp experience for incoming first-year students, giving them opportunities to connect with one another and with the extended Christian community at UNC.
To mitigate COVID-19 related risks.
To be thoughtful neighbors to the university faculty, administrators and other students.
We have made several significant adjustments to camp in acting on these three priorities:
Location: CWC will now be held on-and-around campus, thus mitigating COVID-19 risks associated with remote travel.
Transportation: CWC will now involve a minimal amount of local small-vehicle transport, thus mitigating COVID-19 risks associated with group bus travel.
Format: CWC will be held in day-camp format this year. Students will return to their own dorm rooms to sleep each evening, thus mitigating COVID-19 risks associated with group bunking.
Risk Mitigation: Our staff is closely monitoring CDC guidelines as well as State of North Carolina and UNC-Chapel Hill COVID-19 policies in ensuring that CWC is designed to be a safe, minimal-risk environment. UNC continues to regularly update the ‘Community Standards’ which will govern campus life this fall and which will be most determinative for CWC policies. For the latest, please visit this update page. We will continue to keep registered campers and parents updated this summer as we have more specific details on camp COVID-19 policies.
Since we’ve decided to change the format to a day camp, we’re excited to offer Carolina Way Camp for the reduced rate of $175. If you would like to attend, we strongly encourage you to register now to claim your spot as space is limited (last year spots filled up and we had to form a waiting list).
If you are in need of financial assistance in order to attend camp, please fill out this scholarship application. We have limited financial aid available and will do our best to enable you to attend camp.
If you are one of the small number of students who already paid your registration fee in March, you will receive a refund for the amount by which the price of camp has been reduced.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to plan for camp while monitoring this fluid situation. Know that we are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We’re excited to welcome you to UNC, to connect you to the extended Christian community, and we can’t wait to be with you in person soon!
