Media Now campers arrived this morning on Maryville University’s campus for a few days full of fun. Students had an option to either stay in Maryville’s dorms, or commute to camp each day.

The campers will finish off their day with one more classroom session, and then the commuters will be dismissed. As for the campers that are staying, they will participate in a fun nighttime activity.
