The camp spans three days and two nights and covers traditions, leadership development and diversity. Last year, 75 incoming students kick-started their arrival at Tech by participating.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0022It was one of those experiences where no one knew exactly what it would be like going in since it was the first time, but it ended up being a blast,\u0022 said Erin Sapp, a second-year computational media major who served on the Wreck Camp crew team last summer. Sapp will be returning this summer in the role of director of participant relations, partly for her love of seeing incoming students get comfortable in their new environment. \u0022I think everyone came out loving the experience, loving Tech and ready to start the new year. Being a counselor and getting to watch that happen was amazing.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis year, Wreck Camp leadership hopes to see twice as many new students attend camp. Sapp, along with fellow directors Kirsten Carella, Tim Feltman and Christy Miller, have been working with Jordan Holliday, coordinator of sophomore programs and traditions camps in the Division of Student Affairs, to recruit counselors and crew for the coming year.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0022We want to have a diverse, excited and fun student staff to welcome these students,\u0022 Holliday said. Wreck Camp needs around 30 students to serve as counselors and crew for the 2013 program. \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/nssp.wufoo.com\/forms\/wreck-camp-2013-staff-application\/\u0022\u003EOnline applications\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;are now open and must be submitted by Friday, Feb. 1, at 4 p.m. The program is designed to help enrich the student experience for both current and new students, part of Georgia Tech\u0027s \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/gatech.edu\/vision\u0022\u003Estrategic plan\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0022The beauty of Wreck Camp is that it\u0027s for everyone,\u0022 he said. \u0022Anyone who loves helping new students, loves Georgia Tech and wants to have an awesome summer should apply.\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGeneral Requirements of Wreck Camp Counselors and Crew:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EBe in good academic and disciplinary standing with Georgia Tech.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EHave a 2.2 or higher cumulative GPA.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EBe enrolled at Georgia Tech in the fall of 2013.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p2\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWreck Camp Counselor Duties:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EInteract with incoming students for camp activities, serving as a small group leader for 8 to 12 student participants.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EParticipate in all camp functions.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EBe a positive role model and good representation of the Institute and Georgia Tech community for participants.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EParticipate in all training sessions during the spring of 2013, including a staff retreat.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EContribute to staff in a positive and energetic fashion, always being a team player.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EServe as a member of a Wreck Camp committee.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe three-day camp experience for new students covers traditions, campus and community information and leadership.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The three-day camp experience for new students covers traditions, campus and community information and leadership."}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2013-01-17 17:27:54","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:13:29","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-01-28T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2013-01-28T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"186351":{"id":"186351","type":"image","title":"Wreck Camp 2012","body":null,"created":"1449179090","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:44:50","changed":"1475894833","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:13","alt":"Wreck Camp 2012","file":{"fid":"196161","name":"img_3419.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/img_3419_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/img_3419_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":3614613,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/img_3419_0.jpg?itok=UxqPLbvT"}},"186361":{"id":"186361","type":"image","title":"Wreck Camp 2012 -
