Supports include, but are not limited to, direct tutoring; academic planning; academic skills instruction; goal setting and progress tracking; and educational technology training. The academic specialist also facilitates connections with campus services and refers CAMP students as necessary to these experts.

Advisor/Transition Coordinator Support
Additionally, students will have access to an advisor/transition coordinator who supports and assists students as they adjust to college life and learning. Regular meetings with the advisor occur in both individual and group settings and aim to provide students with personal, extracurricular, and life skills guidance. The advisor acts as a liaison between CAMP students and campus clubs and organizations and facilitates the development of a strong support system to improve study and social skills. Through active adjustment support and community development, the goal is to help students transition successfully from high school to the demands of college independence.
