Operation of Camp Broadstone will transition to Appalachian State University’s Office of Student Development and its University Recreation division beginning in January 2012. The change will allow the university to expand its outdoor recreation offerings to Appalachian students and the university community.
A reduction in state funds that supported operation of Camp Broadstone led to the new operational model for the facility, according to university officials.
The summer enrichment programs for academically gifted youth held at Camp Broadstone are discontinued.
The university offers several campus-based summer enrichment programs for youth, including a forensic science camp, forensic anthropology camp, and a Russian language and culture camp, among others. Visit www.camps.appstate.edu for a list of campus-based summer offerings.
