Lasting three days and two nights, the camp is designed to help future students meet with their peers and learn how to succeed at OU. The camp will have three sessions throughout the summer and costs $225. The camp includes room and board, meals, OU t-shirts, and other handouts and prizes.
Lindsey Waldrop,sophomore HES major, applied to be a Camp Crimson counselor for the upcoming summer and explained how beneficial attending the camp was for her when she attented as a camper.
"Camp Crimson was a great way for me to meet friends and made me feel like OU was my new home," said Waldrop, "I defintely felt prepared to come to OU."
Allowing the students to stay in dorm rooms, the camp is set up to give campers a real life college experience, before actually attending school. Learning the universities history and traditions is also a major part of the Camp Crimson experience.
"The goal is to make each camper feel as connected to the university as possible," said Waldrop.
Before attending camp herself, Waldrop explained that she did not know much about the schools tradtions besides the long standing rivalry with the University of Texas in Austin. After attending, however, she claims that she was filled with Sooner spirit and knowledge.
