What to expect

• Connect with your classmates while becoming familiar with your laptop. 
• Get ready for the first day of school by setting up your laptop with all the important apps you need to be successful. 

What to bring

• A mask. We are awaiting masking guidance for the upcoming school year from the Diocese. In the meantime, we will follow our summer program protocols of masks for all students in the building.
• A water bottle. There will be some time spent outside the building.
• A spirit and openness to meet other people and participate in activities to introduce you to your laptop and other students.

What to wear

We will follow the Summer Camp dress code. Shorts, t-shirts, and sandals are welcome. We suggest bringing something long-sleeved as well as it can get cool inside the building.

Potential Shipping Delays 

Due to the chip shortage, laptops shipped later than anticipated. We are tracking the delivery status and anticipate an on-time arrival. In the rare circumstance that the laptops do not arrive on time, we will be forced to cancel this event and distribute them during the first day of Gibbons Freshman Seminar class. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Check back here for any changes or updates before you come to campus.
