FAQs

Who will my suite mates be?

Suite mates are matched by age and the information provided in the student profile. Four students live together in a suite, and residence halls are same-gender by floor. Staff members live on each floor to provide 24-hour supervision.

I’m flying to camp; can someone pick me up?

Yes; the College offers drivers and vans to pick-up and drop-off students at Newark Airport. Summer Scholars staff members escort students. For those who choose this service, full payment and travel information must be submitted by June 1.

Can I bring my cell phone or laptop?

Students may bring their cell phones; however, we have a strict cell phone use policy, and students may not carry phones with them around campus. We do this for two reasons: phone use can be disruptive to the learning environment and can prevent students from connecting with the new friends and mentors around them. Students may take cell phones on all off-campus trips, as an extra level of safety. Students and parents may reach each other at any time, 24-hours a day, through the program office and security office phone numbers. Students may not bring personal laptops to the program but may use the campus computer labs for email and Internet use.

How well supervised are the students while attending Centenary?

Safety is our top priority, and the environment we create is filled with excitement, relaxation, and opportunity. Throughout the day, students are offered a variety of supervised activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. With an experienced, highly-trained staff and the College’s Public Safety, Summer Scholars provides the necessary supervision to ensure the safety and well-being of our students at all times.
