I'm exempted from the CAMP ... but i might go ... I didn't apply for it as of yet, still considering.

From what I have heard it's a SHIT camp from an Ex. Camper last year.

The guys in the chat room said that the law camp they got free grog ...

So I don't see why we can't bring our own ... if i go...

Does anyone know where it is, what type of camp it is (CABINs/TENTs/GROUND/......) and can give me some more info.

And what you need to bring ...

If it sounds like to much shit .. forget about it ...

i've been advised to bring some heavy duty mosquito repellant. you do engineering related activities like trying to make the tallest building out of boxes or something like that. i think we do get some grog for an evening function - or maybe it was a dream.

i'm looking forward to it. if it sux, i'll make it fun ;)

Was hoping for someone who's actually been to it to post and tell us what it's all about!

okay i found some news letter they sent us after we got our uai's...
this thingy states:

Orientation Camp (o-camp)
- by Sarah Nosworthy
my first contact with Engineering, and UTS was O-Camp in the week before uni started, 'O-week'. Having enrolled weeks earlier, and only met two people, i was anxious about this raging social life my parents had promised would come with university.

Once we arrived at O-Camp, we enterd the luxury appointment of camping in Colourbond iron sheds at Cataract Dam.

How amused were the boys (never the girls) to realise the delightful sounds rocks make on the roof in the middle of the night. Not that this was an ongoing problem, as the second night many of us avioded the rocks and, the mutant mosquitos, to stay up bonding with the second and third year studnets who had coordinated the camp.

Our two and a half days at O-Camp were filled with a range of engineering challenges, which we completed in assigned teams. To enhance interaction, we were also allocated dorms, with a range of people, other than those we did activities with.

the whole camp was coordinated by volunteers from the Faculty of Engineering, which meant the formalities were kept to a minimum, and a relaxed atmosphere prevailed - a far cry from school camps.

In Retrospect, our camp, which split our cohort in two, has filtered into most aspects of uni life. We still debate which was the superior camp, many friendships started at O-Camp have continued, and suddenly, Mathematical Modelling seemed less daunting, considering the number of social opportunities you could be assured of lining up.
