CampDISCOVERY 2021 is open for registration! This year CampDISCOVERY will be held at the VSU STEAM Center, 1302 N Patterson Street. Student drop-off will be at the rear door.

We have had to make some changes in our program due to COVID-19.

• Maximum number of children per camp reduced to 16.

• We will have curbside check-in and pick-up.

• Curbside check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m./12:30 p.m. Students will be taken directly to their classrooms rather than to a central location.

• For curbside pickup, parents will show ID and staff will bring children to the car line.

• As in past years, campers who are attending both morning and afternoon camps may eat their packed lunches (no heating or refrigeration available) in a supervised lunch area, and relax with some tabletop games and activities. Current COVID-19 protocols must be maintained during lunch break (including mask wearing and social distancing).

Details and permission paperwork will be sent with student registration receipts.

Special Camp for College-Bound High School Students

College App Bootcamp (Entering Grades 10 through 12) Instructor: Kelly Yates;

Learn everything you need to know to navigate this critical juncture in your life, including different platforms available for applications; the different types of applications and a timeline for each of them; how to go about crafting a college essay; and how to prepare for an interview. But most importantly, this week is structured to help you decide where you might like to study and what you want to get out of the college experience, a process that involves rigorous self-assessment and reflection as you review the various options. College visits will be covered (including what to look for and what questions to ask), as well as current topics such as new trends in college applications and holistic application reviews. Expect to emerge from the week with a clear timeline for your next steps. This program will be most useful for students who are academically motivated and eager to explore all the components of college preparation.

Please bring to the first day of camp:

• A laptop computer (preferred) or a tablet (if you do not have one, let us know when you register and wemay be able to provide a loaner); and

• An unofficial copy of your high school transcript.
