An all-new, immersive overnight experience designed to give students an authentic taste of college life. This unique program invites students to explore their interests, discover potential career paths, and gain confidence as they begin thinking about their future.

Throughout the week, campers will rotate through engaging, hands-on “classes” led by Saint Francis academic departments, offering insight into a variety of fields of study. Beyond the classroom, students will connect with SF student clubs, enjoy meals in the dining hall, and experience residential life by staying overnight in Saint Francis residence halls.

From navigating free time and responsibilities to building friendships and independence, Cougar College Camp provides a meaningful introduction to college life, perfect for students curious about what their future as a Cougar could look like.

All meals provided.

  • Stay overnight in Saint Francis residence halls and experience daily life just like a college student.
  • Participate in interactive classes led by Saint Francis Professors.
  • Explore campus involvement through student clubs and activities, such as a bonfire and movie night.
  • Learn how to manage free time, responsibilities, and independence in a college setting.

All Saint Francis Discovery Academy experiences are designed and taught by SF educators, giving campers a true taste of life on a college campus while exploring high-growth career paths.

This camp is a journey of self-discovery, helping campers identify their unique strengths and how to apply them to their academic and professional futures. At Cougar College Camp, students will:

  • Experience authentic on-campus college life.
  • Build independence, confidence, and readiness for the future.
  • Reflect on whether college (and which path) feels right for them.

This camp is a great experience for anyone that wants to explore healthcare careers. You will learn about different areas of healthcare and get some hands-on experience. Each profession has faculty from the program, as well as current students that will be there to help you learn more about what they do.”
