NYSACAC Camp College

If you are a self-motivated, college-bound high school student and you are interested in planning for your journey after graduation, you should attend Camp College. Thinking you should attend college, but you’re unsure what you should be doing to get there or what your options might be?


Camp College is an overnight college access and information program that takes place during the summer on a NYS college campus. The program is geared toward upper level high school students (rising juniors and seniors). The camp is sponsored by the New York State Association for College Admission Counseling (NYSACAC).


Students will engage in small-group discussions, a mock college course, and workshops on admissions and financial aid.


2024 Camp College will be held at SUNY Geneseo College July 17-19.


Camp College is free for all participants, however transportation to and from the host campuses is NOT provided.
