Camp Spartan Debuts for Pre-College Students

Aurora University has launched a new summer camp designed to help pre-college students prepare for college and experience campus.

The Camp Spartan College Preparation Program, which runs from July 10 to 22, offers noncredit academic courses, college preparation classes, and social activities on AU’s main campus. The camp is designed for high school students and recent high school graduates interested in getting a preview of college life.

AU is also offering for the second consecutive year a summer camp for students with autism spectrum disorder. The Camp Spartan Pathways College Preparation Program for Students with ASD helps high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors as well as recent high school graduates who are college-bound to develop the executive functioning skills needed to succeed in college. The program is designed and staffed by experts in the field of autism.

The goal of both Camp Spartan programs is to build a bridge for students as they transition to college.
