'yes' -- well its not compulsory to go.. but they do advise you to attend..

from me.. to you, i say go to the camp..its the best way to meet friends, though the accomodation and food was dodgy -- suggestion... bring junk along with you!

O-Camp

The camp is what you make it. Some of my best friends at uni are still the ones I met during o-camp.

For all of you starting Engineering, you will be receiving a letter in the mail in the next 2 week giving you all the information you need (including which camp you are going on)

For now, information will be posted on the O-Camp Website as we receive it. If you want more information, fill out the contact form on the site.

MoNNiE - Which camp were you on?

Last Camp

Hello Jimmy,

i was on camp 2 last year
How did you find it? This year has a lot of changes to the tuesday entertainment (Alcohol will be served to over 18's). Minor changes to the food (new supplier... so tastier meat/salads).

Here's hoping for sun all week long

do you get to pick which camp you go on or are you assigned?

meh, i think it will be pretty good but ive done a lot of those "team building" activities and it usually involves one person giving everyone else a headache

hmmm ok ill have to figure out which one im gunna go on *sigh* if only i was 18
You'll be sent a letter in the next 2 weeks, it will tell you which camp you are going on. It's allocated randomly. We can change it due to work etc.

I was 17 when I went on camp, wasn't that bad.

It's not as bad as that. The camp has been running for 14 years now and most of the stuff is interesting and relevant to first years.

All of the helpers are volunteers (no pay) from 2nd to 5th year, they all once went on a camp so know what it's like for the new students.

The camp is more about meeting new people anyways and making new friends, even more than developing your team building skills. I'm sure it'll be fun!, though I don't know much about what happens at the Engineering one.

I agree with MoNNiE. It makes your first days of uni more easier 'cause you know some of the people you've met through camp. As for the activities, some were interesting to say the least and some were fun. Its not really team building activities even though there are, but more emphasised to meet and getting to know people.
