Camp 4

Dive into the academic and social world of college with a select group of high school juniors and seniors from across the county. Transitioning from high school to college is exciting and intimidating. Our program provides that space to recharge and gain momentum for the journey from high school to college, providing you with the tools and resources you need to graduate and meet the new environment of higher education with success. A three-week summer program on the Kenyon campus, Camp 4 brings together talented rising high school juniors and seniors from across the country for an immersion in the college experience. Camp 4 coursework challenges you — you’ll study subjects including American history, creative writing, neuroscience and art, with an emphasis on critical thinking and clear writing. During your three-week stay, you will become a vital part of Kenyon’s summer community. Students live in campus housing with residential assistants and staff, taking time each evening to go on scavenger hunts or nature walks, play ping pong or chat with current college students about their life on campus. Through one-on-one advising sessions with admissions counselors and workshops, we help you find strategies for your college search and empower you to take on the application process with confidence.
