<\/a>\r\nThere is always an array of clubs, groups, and services at CamFest, and they\u2019re all there to amp up the excitement of coming to school. Park has been helping run Camfest since 2014 and sees no reason to change what has always worked so well; however, he says that there may be some interesting additions this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cCamFest at its core is pretty much going to be business as usual,\u201d says Park. \u201cOne addition that we have this year, though, is a bit of a carnivalesque-type feel to it. That might entail some wandering magicians, or some other carnivalesque entertainers that will be adding some fun.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Park says that, based on the number of students, CamFest is growing every year (\u201cEspecially with enthusiasm,\u201d he adds). Students will also be able to talk to Camosun College Welcome Week volunteers at CamFest, asking them any questions they may have.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cA lot of times there are questions that aren\u2019t in the information booklet,\u201d says Park. \u201cSimple questions like, \u2018Where is the bookstore? Where can I get my UPass? Where is the Young Building?\u2019 The volunteers at Welcome Week can and will answer all of them, and that is such a helpful addition.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Park says that CamFest takes a great deal of planning, adding that the CCSS started getting ready for this year\u2019s CamFest after last year\u2019s ended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe college is really instrumental in making Camfest happen. We have seen support from the office of Student Affairs, which has been great. Then there are the sponsors of CamFest, some private companies which have been so helpful in making this happen. It\u2019s expensive,\u201d Park says with a laugh, \u201cso we appreciate all the help we can get.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
