BURLINGTON AND THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
The University of Vermont has a beautifully landscaped and wooded 
campus located on a hill overlooking Lake Champlain. The center of 
the campus is the "University Green" bequeathed by Ira Allen. There 
are fountains, benches, and nearby open spaces for youthful play. 
Basketball courts are also available. Burlington is one of America's 
most beautiful towns. In 2000 it was rated as America's "Most Livable 
City." A four season tourist attraction, it is full of interesting 
eating establishments, shops, coffee houses, and entertainment 
facilities. It retains a small town Vermont charm and is free from 
the crime and decay which characterizes many urban areas. Summer in 
Vermont is delightful, with the temperature hovering in the 80's and 
almost never reaching the 90's. Humidity is low and outdoor 
activities are common and comfortable.

HOUSING
Attendees will be housed in a UVM dormitory on the central campus, 
with males and females on different floors. Experienced Resident 
Assistants will supervise them. There will be a curfew for high 
school students. High school and college students will be in separate 
dormitories. Coaches will be housed near college students. Special 
housing for families may be arranged but cannot be guaranteed. 
Attendees should bring sheets, pillow case, pillow, towel. The 
dormitories contain coin-operated laundry facilities, lounges, and 
pay telephones. Each room has a telephone for incoming and outgoing 
calls, but only local calls can be made from these telephones.

meals a day in an on-campus facility for the two week program for

features vegetarian and non-red meat items.  Attendees may purchase a 
meal plan for use on campus by making a check payable to"Marriott

Within easy walking distance of the campus are a large number of 
eating establishments that span all price levels and offer a wide 
variety of cuisine. Students will be provided with a comprehensive
