Cards Camp Schedule
Camper Arrival Information
You should arrive at your residence hall at your assigned move-in time on Saturday. A Cards Camp welcome table will be located outside of each residence hall to greet campers and their families and answer any questions you may have. Make sure you stop at the table so we know you have arrived for move-in!
Lunch/dinner is on your own that day, so that will be a great opportunity to spend some time with any family or friends that are coming with you before the camp kick-off.
Head to Strickler Hall for camp check-in between 5:30-6:00 p.m. ET. If you have a car on campus leave it in your designated parking area. Family members can park in the North Information Center parking lot by Strickler Hall and the Planetarium after move-in.
Camp staff will be out around campus to help you find your way!
You won't head back to your residence hall until later Saturday night, so dress for a day of activities and moving about campus, and bring anything with you that you need. We encourage you to dress in any Cardinal spirit wear you have on that day!
Commuter students should arrive to campus for camp check-in at Strickler Hall between 5:30-6:00 p.m. on Saturday. If you are driving yourself to campus, park in the Floyd Street Parking Garage on the permit side on the top level. Gates will be up and no passes are needed.
If you are bring dropped off on day 1 of camp, you can be dropped off at the North Information Center to be closer to Strickler Hall.
Camp staff will be out around campus to help you find your way!
You will be on campus until about 10 p.m. on camp day 1, so dress for a day of activities and moving about campus, and bring anything with you that you need. We encourage you to dress in any Cardinal spirit wear you have on that day! All commuter students will depart campus on day 1 night, and return the following morning.
On day 2 of camp, C3s will come to all residence hall lobbies for camper round-up to head to breakfast! We will be loading buses in the early afternoon after lunch, so you will need to have all of your bags packed and with you for camp at this time.
On day 2 of camp, commuter students who are driving themselves to campus can park in the Floyd Street Parking Garage. Cars can be left there for the duration of camp at no charge.
