Attention Parents of Campers coming to Keystone College: Use the main college entrance and follow the signs. We'll meet you at the gazebo across from the main parking area. In the event of rain during the first week, we'll use a room in Miller Library during the day. For the second week, we'll use a room in the Hubbard Student Center. The meeting place is the same--rain or shine, week 1 or 2. You will be given the staff's cell phone numbers on Monday morning.
