About this Event

This isn't your average summer camp – this camp is an immersive experience focused on empowering future college students to take control of their college journey and career success. No water balloons and sprinklers here—just real strategies for a bright future.

By attending C.A.M.P., attendees will avoid the common pitfalls that derail many students in college—like frequently changing majors (which delays graduation and racks up student debt!), wasting time on unnecessary courses, or graduating without a clear career plan.

In this 2-day workshop, we’ll use proven methods and activities to help students create their ideal college experience and career path, strategically design the future they want, and provide the the tools so they can confidently answer: “What do you want to do when you graduate college?”

Students who attend our C.A.M.P. will:

  • Discover best-fit majors and career paths.
  • Create a “possibilities” timeline of what the upcoming years at college might look like.
  • Set academic, professional, and personal goals for success.
  • Uncover industry-specific academic and experiential strategies to implement in college and gain marketable experience.
  • Create purpose-driven projects and potential career paths by examining strengths and passions.
  • Uncover ways to network and engage meaningfully with campus life and resources.
  • Acquire language to articulate motivations, personal purpose, and ignite passion.
  • Learn to highlight academic achievements, extracurriculars, and volunteer experiences and craft a standout resume tailored for college student jobs, student organizations, and internships.

Whether your student is choosing a major, mapping out their college years, or building a career path, they'll leave this workshop with a concrete plan for success.

****Note: This is a 2-day workshop, taking place on Tuesday, June 10 from 3 PM - 8 PM and Wednesday, June 11 from 3 PM - 8PM.****


Agenda
Day 1: (Session 1) Exploring You - Head, Heart, Purpose, and Motivation

Info: Self-reflection is a superpower - without it, you won’t know where you’re going! This session has strategically been placed as the first stop on our journey of designing you so that you have a foundation of knowing who you are, what your skills and strengths are, what you’re passionate about, and what drives your desire and willingness to do something (aka what makes you tick!). This session takes you on a self-exploration journey where you will reflect on your motivations, strengths, passions, and purpose. The exercises and resources posted here are meant to guide you towards a discovery of who you are, uncover your purpose(s), explore what matters to you, and most importantly - understand your 'why'.


Day 1: (Session 2) Designing Your Major and Career

Info: In this engaging session, you will discover that choosing a major is more than just a surface-level decision—it's a journey! Whether you're still exploring your options or already have a major in mind, this session guides you through a step-by-step process to deepen your understanding of your chosen field and align it with your career aspirations. You will 1) Identify and refine your best-fit major(s) and related career paths, 2) Explore a variety of industries and employers linked to your major, 3) Uncover industry-specific strategies to implement in college, gain marketable experience, and build your resume, and 4) Debunk common career myths, equipping you with actionable insights to navigate potential pitfalls.


Day 2: (Session 1) Designing Your Campus Life

Info: In this session, students design their campus and career involvement timeline. We will address academic, professional, and personal goals while making an action plan on how to make - and get - the most out of their college experience. During this session, students will: 1) Uncover the student support resource centers, student clubs, and ways to engage in your campus to build community and network, 2) Learn a method to create small, low-risk experiments where they can test out ideas, potential careers, and interest projects., and 3) Create a holistic “possibilities” timeline for what the next five years can look like.


Day 2: (Session 2) Designing Your College Resume

Info: This session will walk you through how to craft a standout resume that highlights your skills, experience, and passions. Learn practical tips for showcasing your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and more. Whether you're aiming to land a student job, join a student organization, or simply want to build a strong foundation for your future, this session will give you the tools to make your resume shine and set you up for success.
