Can students leave campus during the camp?

For safety reasons and to help our staff’s requirement to keep track of everyone, you need to remain on campus at all times except:

1) You may go off campus from 7:30am to 9:30am, during lunch, and during dinner so long as you are with at least one other camper. You MUST STAY WITHIN THE GREEN LINES NOTED IN THE MAP BELOW. Practically, that means, you can go to Safeway, the Post Office, and Downtown to where it meets 2^nd Avenue. Please do not cross Isaacs, Clinton or Alder streets.

2) In the evening (after the last lab of the day), you need to remain in the residence hall or in the area directly in view of the residence hall or in the computer lab rooms. If you want to go to Safeway or elsewhere including on campus, you must be accompanied by an institute staff member.

3) If you have an emergency, an institute staff member can take you to the emergency clinic or hospital.

When you leave Whitman’s campus under any circumstance, Whitman’s liability is removed and you leave at your own risk.

What happens when students don’t show up to lectures or for evening attendance checks? We are forced to do a search. If a student is not found within 20 minutes, we contact Security to assist with the search. PLEASE don’t make us do this because you violated the rules.

What happens if a student is sick? Please contact Rob Olsen, head life person. You can do that in a number of ways: 1) tell your roommate or staff member; 2) email Jim Hanson or Rob Olsen; 3) call Rob. If it is an emergency, call 911 and/or call Jim or Rob.

What happens if a student wants to visit a friend, an aunt or uncle, etc.? Just contact Jim Hanson at least 24 hours ahead of time. Your parents/guardians must send an email approving your visit. You must also tell Rob Olsen at the time that you go for your visit.
