This Summer, I Went to College!!

     “My favorite part of the Helena College camp was when we went rafting for two hours!” said Kenzie Wallace, who went to the “Preserving the Planet” camp at Carroll College this summer.

     This year’s 7th-9th graders were eligible to attend these free camps. 
     All students who applied were accepted into a camp, and a total of eleven students from Troy attended.

     The purpose of these free camps is to allow students to see what life is like at college while learning about a variety of topics and of course having a lot of fun!

“I didn’t think it would be that fun.  I really liked the nice people there,” Hunter Leighty said.  He also attended the Carroll College camp.

     “I learned about criminology in Glendive.  Also, their food was awesome!” said Tristyn Winebark, who attended the GEARing UP for College camp at Dawson Community College.

The parents of the students who attended also showed enthusiasm for the effects of the camp.  Parents reported that their son/daughter is more interested in college, met new friends from across Montana, and experienced what it is like to be away from home.

     Information about next year’s summer camps will be available in March 2014. If you have any questions about the summer camps, please contact Sarah Davis at the school.
