Literally,
the word Satori is Japanese for "Ah Ha!" It originally
represented a state of enlightenment sought in Zen Buddhism. It's
an exploration of the mind and the unknown. It's the insight you
achieve only after expending a good deal of your energy and imagination.
Satori is the sense of joy that comes form learning.
For students aged 12 - 18, the word Satori is also
the name of a one-week journey towards their own personal enlightenment
through specialized instruction and social activities. For its twenty-fifth
straight summer Satori Camp is proud to present this opportunity
for academically and intellectually talented students to experience
their first taste of college with others who share their enthusiasm
for learning in an academic and social environment.
Satori
camp allows students to choose three mini-courses from a variety
of offerings. Participants are introduced
to a wide range of academic and special interest courses designed
to develop a well-rounded individual. Each course is held for approximately
two hours a day over the five days of camp. This continuity allows
for in-depth exploration of subject material, active inquiry and
discussion, and hands-on participation by students.
While
attending Satori, campers live on Eastern
Washington University's tree-shaded main campus in Cheney, Washington.
This collegiate setting is ideal for learning and provides a realistic
opportunity for college-bound students to gain college preparatory
experience. Recreation and entertainment opportunities round out
the student's total learning experience. Because the camp is designed
as an enrichment experience, no letter or number grades are given.
