Travel with Notre Dame!
ND Summer Camp in the Islands
Here’s a chance for the family to be together — everyone enjoying their favorite activities and embarking on new ones. Dad and Mom can check out the snorkeling, scuba diving, golf, tennis, windsurfing and sailing in Carina Bay. And while they are deciding what to do next, an extraordinary children’s camp entertains their young ones.
St. Croix

|
Notre Dame students will be the camp “counselors”; St. Croix, the Virgin Islands, the setting for the first Notre Dame “summer camp” (away from campus), July 14-21, 2007. A litany of fun and exciting activities are planned for three age groups of children to enjoy while their parents are elsewhere pursuing their own version of a good time on the island. The kids will be entertained Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m.- 4 p.m., with a counselor-camper ratio of 1:6.
All friends of the University are invited to participate, along with our alumni.

A visit to Frankenmuth, Michigan’s German storybook town and an overnight in Traverse City makes the tour complete.
