2021 Virtual Camp College brought to you by PACAC
For the past 7 years, PACAC (Pennsylvania Association of College Admissions Counseling) has provided its Camp College (CC) experience for students in the Commonwealth to come together and learn about the College Admissions process. CC has brought together College Admissions experts from around the state to provide this vital information and guidance, specifically targeting first-generation, low-income, underrepresented student populations. CC has always been free and focused on inclusion, access, and success in the college admissions process.
Camp College went completely virtual last year due to COVID. This year, we will continue to have a Virtual program. This year's Virtual Camp College (VCC) will be better than ever, providing students and families access to dozens of college admissions experts and providing a wealth of resources to help you better understand and move through the college process.
Specific information can also be found online at: pacac.org/camp-college.

The entire program is being offered in a one-day format, from 9am-4pm.
There are three different dates to choose from:
