The program is linked here and can also be found in your Mentor & Fellow Group Documents folder.

Suggested Packing List

June in Clemson can be a little unpredictable in terms of just how cold or how hot it will be, so keep that in mind as you pack. For an idea of what to expect, here is a link to the weather records from June 2022. However, something that is not listed there is the humidity or how 'muggy' it feels here in June -- this page might provide more specific information (scroll down), but be ready for humidity to be in the 80-90% range. Since this is "Camp Abell", we will be taking a laid back approach to dress - you will have one dinner opportunity off-site for which you may want a dressy-casual or casual outfit - otherwise, please feel free to be in outdoor, workout, or play clothes the whole week. 

You will be provided with a linen package that will include: sheets, a blanket, a pillow, and towels.  However, if you have room and would like to bring your own pillow or swim towel, you are welcome to do so.

Optional items: camping hammock, swim towel, your own pillow, a favorite card game, journal

Cabin Assignments

Fellows will be in cabins of five. Each Fellow will have an 'alcove' space of their own (with two twin beds and two nightstands) and share a bathroom with their cabin-mates. The layout of the cabins can be seen here.  Cabin assignments are below.
