Kids College is a one-week summer day camp for students going into 6th, 7th or 8th grade. The camp is especially focused on welcoming and supporting students who might be the first in their family to go to college, who may qualify for the 21st Century Scholars program, or who come from groups that haven’t always had equal access to higher education.
At Kids College, students will build confidence, learn more about who they are as learners, and explore future college and career paths. They’ll take part in fun, hands-on activities that help them see how an education can help them reach their goals. The camp helps students understand how to join and succeed in programs like 21st Century Scholars—and how to take pride in their place in school, college, and the world.
