Data Camp FAQs

An automatic email will be generated at the time of registration, indicating that the student has been registered for the camp. This email will include basic information about your registration and function as a receipt.

Full refunds are available until May 29, 2026. After May 29, full or partial refunds will be available only in cases of documented medical or family emergencies.

You will be notified if your child becomes ill or is injured. If your child requires medical attention, the staff of the Data Visualization camp will follow the instructions that you provide on the health form you will submit before the camp begins. Public safety staff members on campus are trained in basic emergency procedures and can transport students to nearby medical facilities in cases of emergency.

Please be sure to inform us on the health form if your child has a disability that requires any kind of special accommodation. Messiah University is a disability-friendly campus. The buildings that we will be using as part of the workshop are designed to be accessible. We will not have staff specifically trained in dealing with students with disabilities, but we are committed to making sure that all students experience a safe, fun, and productive learning environment, and we will do all in our power to ensure that such an environment is created.

Students will need to bring a laptop.  A limited number of loaner laptops are available. Please email datacamp@messiah.edu for more information.

Data Visualization Camp will be located in the Cyber Center of Frey Hall. Upon arrival, please report to the registration table in the lobby of Frey Hall to check-in each morning.

This is a day camp designed to accommodate commuter students.

Students should plan to arrive on campus by 8:30am for the beginning of the first morning session. This will allow enough time for check-in before the first morning session begins at 9:00am. Parents dropping off may temporarily park behind Jordan Science Center (lot WW). Students with cars and licenses may drive to campus, though we encourage students to leave their cars at home. Students who drive themselves should park in the visitor's parking lot behind the Jordan/Kline Science Center (lot WW). Students who drive are prohibited from giving rides to other students, and may not drive during the course of the day unless parents provide instructions to allow this for special purposes such as doctor appointments. Failure to abide by this condition may result in dismissal from the program at the discretion of the director.
