[civsa] Youth and Middle School Group Visits

[Allison Fannon]

Good Afternoon from Oklahoma!

We have several groups that come from middle schools and we have created a scavenger. Each packet has 11 clues, an answer key and a map of campus. All the groups go to the same places around campus, but in a different order. We allow 10-12 students in a group and for risk management purposes the group has to bring one sponsor per 10 kids.

This isn't a race or a game, but a fun way for them to explore campus and engage with their classmates. We have scavenger hunt for elementary/middle school and one for HS students because sometimes we are too busy to accommodate freshman/sophomore groups.

When the group gets here one of our Campus Tours staff members greets them, gives a welcome speech and then explains the scavenger hunt.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [civsa] Youth and Middle School Group Visits

Hello CIVSA folks!
  Our office was recently assigned the task of planning and facilitating all Youth (K-5th) and Middle School (6th- 8th) on campus visits. We are now in the process of building a Youth/ Middle School group visits program and researching best practices for what is and is not offered to visitors in these age categories, at different institutions.
I was wondering if any of you currently cover Youth/ Middle School campus visits and if so, what sorts of activates/ tours do you offer to groups in these age ranges?  Also, do you have different criteria or expectation contracts for younger groups?

Any help would be much appreciate!
Thank you,


Danae Nagle
