Everyday at 8 am. an army of
would-besports superstarscan beseen
marching down State Street toward
South Quad.The impetus for this mas-
sive invasion - Michigan Summer
Sports Camps.
This summer, an estimated 8,000
high school-age and younger students
will converge on campus for the op-
portunity to be tutored by their favorite
Michigan coaches and athletes. What
does this mean to area merchants? A
lot of money.

a40-percent increase in summer prof-
its-asadirectresultofcampers. The
restaurant encourages its youthful pa-
tronage by offering special incentives
in the form of free soft drinks.
"Wedoalotbettertlanotherstores,
becaused we offer (campers) special
deals," Store Manager Corey Frame
said.
But pizza continues its reign as the
most popular food item among camp-
ers.
With this increase in summer busi-
ness comes certain drawbacks, said
Mike Gill, a driver for Cottage Inn
Pizza.
"(Campers) give us a lot of busi-
ness, but drivers hate them because
they never tip," he said.
Fortunately for non-food service
entrepreneurs,thecampersrelyonmore
than food alone.
Dan Patterson, an employee at the
Union's Study Break Game Room,
said many youths flood the arcade be-
fore, during and after their daily ses-
sions.
"It's like having the regular stu-
dents back in town," he said. "I just
know it's pretty crowded all of the
time."
Notonetomissoutonthelucrative
merchandising aspect of camps, the
managerofMoe'sSportsShopsaidhis
store lies dormant in the summer until
the campers stroll into town.
"This is basically our business in
the summer - kids buying all of the
Michigan stuff," Jamie Demers said.
In oneofthestrangersummerbusi-
ness ventures, the Coach and Four
Barber Shop has transcended its nor-
mal offering of a shave and a haircut.
While campers waittohavetheir bangs
trimmed, the barber will sharpen their
ice skates - for a $3 fee.
