The College Experience Camp for middle school students is a fun, challenging, informative and inspiring camp hosted by Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland. At this camp you will eat in the university’s cafeteria, take academic and life skills courses from actual college professors and college students, and practice sports with Division I coaches and players.
A variety of enrichment activities are also provided, such as art sessions, outdoor adventures, and swimming. As we like to say, the College Experience Camp is part academic, part athletic, part outdoor adventure and all fun!
Supported by the Gelles family - Terri, C'92, Christine, C'92, and Kayleigh, C'09, in memory of George R. Gelles, C'64, a long-time member of Mount St. Mary's University administration.
The camp will be held June 17 & 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bus pickup and drop-off from Boys and Girls Club Frederick – Burck St. Eligible campers include those who will be 6th 7th, and 8th graders in the fall.

The primary goal of this camp is to help you in getting more college-ready. We do this by demystifying the college experience. As middle school students you probably have a lot of questions about college. During your time on campus you will have many opportunities to experience college life for yourself. By the end of camp, you will achieve the following:
