The last few days!

Hello everyone! We are down to the last few days before our summer meeting begins.  We hope that you are all packing up and looking forward to a wonderful week! Just a few notes:

  • We have added roller skating to the schedule for 11:00-1:00 Wednesday following the Men's Breakfast.  If this is something you or your family might be interested in, you may want to throw some extra socks in your suitcase.  The children at Clarksville are looking forward to this and it should be a lot of fun!
  • There is a McHike on the schedule for Monday morning.  This is our coined term for walking to McDonalds from the University.  There are two trails, one that is paved and one that is not.  The paved version is a very flat, nice walking trail and is easy to push a stroller on. We will hike to McDonalds for breakfast and then hike back.  However, anyone that prefers not to do the hike is welcome to meet the group for breakfast!
  • There are some outdoor activities planned, so don't forget to throw in your lawn chairs before you head this way.  It is supposed to be hot and sunny several days this week with a possibility of thunderstorms thrown in, so sunscreen and an umbrella (and maybe bug spray too...)would be good to have on hand.
  • There are free laundry facilities in all the dorms for those staying on campus.
  • If you are staying on campus, your room will be provided only with a shower curtain, a trash can, and toilet paper.  There is a full kitchen, but you will need to bring anything you would like to use in it, including pots and pans, coffee maker, utensils, etc. There IS a microwave in each building. 
  • If you are staying in the dorms, and you did not request linens for the $3 charge, you will need to bring your bedding and towels with you.
  • There is Wi-Fi access on campus.  When you are in the residence halls, you will need to connect to UofOzarks.  Anywhere else on campus, you will need to connect to Ozarkscampus.
  • There is a coffee shop located in Robson Library that will be open from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. that also serves some breakfast items.
  • The forecast for Saturday is hot! Be prepared if you are planning to hike to Haw Creek Falls.
  • Check-in begins at 2:00 Saturday, July 1st. When you arrive, check-in will be downstairs in Seay Student Center, located directly across from the tennis courts on College Avenue.  This is also where all services and meals will be held unless otherwise noted on the schedule. We ask those that are physically capable to park in the Mabee Sports Complex parking lot and save the parking across the street from the student center for those that need a closer spot.
  • If you are staying in the dorms and  you ordered a t-shirt, your shirt will be in your bag along with check-in information and keys.  If you ordered a shirt and are staying elsewhere, you will be able to pick those up after any service in the Seay Student Center.
