ECC Camp

The East Central Colleges Camp is a chance for new international students from all the East Central Colleges (9 in all) to spend a weekend together, sharing their experiences, learning more about American culture, and partaking in some really fun activities.

This year, the retreat will take place from September 29th until October 1st. We will leave around 4pm on that Friday afternoon. When we get to Pilgrim Hills, we will unpack, eat some dinner, and start meeting all the other international students. We will play some games through the evening and then end with a bonfire and the American tradition of roasting S'mores.

On Saturday, we will start the day with a unique simulation and then launch into learning English slang and watching skits about Americans. In the afternoon, students can choose to either go canoeing, visiting the Amish, or staying at the camp. Once we all return to the camp, we will have dinner, a talent show, a night hike, and a dance party. Sunday morning is just breakfast and departure. We are back on campus by noon that Sunday.

The ECC Camp is only open to new students and it is up to you to take advantage of the program. You cannot go after your first year at Muskingum. The International Student Services Office will pay for your expenses during the trip, however, if you sign up and do not attend, you are responsible for the $70 charge.
