The benefits for Eastern and the Charleston community from the barrage of camp and conference visitors that come to town each summer are enumerable. Not only does Eastern receive obvious financial benefits from the thousands of campers, but businesses in the Charleston community thrive as well. Anyone who believes that Charleston is “dead” during the summer couldn’t be further from the truth. Eastern and Charleston defi- nitely have a good thing going when it comes to summer camps. Perhaps one of the main reasons so many organizations decide to hold their camps and conferences at Eastern is the University’s facilities.
