"Information is power. And we know that many high school students lack the critical access to information to guide them through the college process that will ultimately lead them to a career. Every element of Camp College is designed with those things in mind."
Hezekiah Williams, Former Camp College Student
"As a part of Camp College, I was able to visit two college campuses—the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University—where we stayed in the dorms and were introduced to college life. Camp College was awesome! I learned a lot and had fun while doing it."
