After a couple years of intentional planning and reimagining PACAC's Camp College programming, we’re excited to unveil the new curriculum and kick off our first training with Cohort 1 at Camp College Basecamp this summer at Seven Springs!

Camp College Basecamp equips educators across Pennsylvania with a dynamic, hands-on curriculum designed for one- or two-day events. By training educators to implement this program, we aim to level the inequitable playing field and provide high school students with the tools and knowledge to navigate the college process effectively and confidently.

The day will feature a deep dive into the curriculum, opportunities for collaboration, practical resources, and more—all complemented by a provided lunch.
