We've kicked around some numbers with people here
and wanted to come to all of you for some advice and
some answers.

We figure we can pull this off
with respect to
staffing and rooms and feeding
kids, but we're a bit concerned about cost.

We
figure the cost will be about $100 per student,
with
everything included for the week. This assumes that our club
will still subsidize several hundred dollars to make
this happen, but we think it's definitely worth it.
The $100 figure is the lowest we can afford without
our coffers (which are never funded very well,
anyway) going dry.

The questions, then, becomes:
Are people willing to pay this for their quiz bowler
to attend our camp for a week and do you think that
other parents will feel the same way if the answer is
yes?

The way we look at it, this includes all meals, all
rooming, access to DePauw's facilites (including athletic
facilities, a room to watch movies in during the evenings and
other things) room and board and other elements, as
well. This should cost far less than most camps of any
kind, we think (based on our memories of going to camps
when we were younger).

We're anxious for
everyone's input, especially anyone involved with high
schools, from competitors to coaches. Anything is
helpful.
