IEP Retreat, Fall 2005
This year, over 50 students attended the overnight retreat. They stayed at their usual getaway spot, the beautiful grounds of Camp McAlister in upstate New York.
The campgrounds had plenty of outdoor activities for all to enjoy. Several students jumped in the lake for a refreshing swim. Others took part in a spirited game of fútbol.
The IEP retreat was a great opportunity to hang out and get to know fellow classmates early in the semester. It was also a chance for first year students to learn about how to get involved in the IEP concentration committees.
After sunset, most students took part in the traditional game of economic charades. Later on the competition heated up and retreat goers bonded, as they played several rounds of less academic and more spirited games.
