The “scopes” program is founded upon the belief that children
will thrive in an environment in
which
they are challenged to
think
and question, can be playful and imaginative.
"I have never been so impressed with a program and with the directors....
I think Furman has done a
wonderful thing having the
camps and using students to help out.
