Q.

final details regarding camp including what can/cannot
be brought to camp,
etc. Next, we will verify that we have all paperwork completed
and take in any remaining money due.

this fall can attend camp. If the student is entering from
a school other than Nichols or Shackelford, then the student
must be enrolled at Lamar prior to the camp registration

you let us know if we will be receiving the assistance?
