2026 College Admissions
SUMMER BOOTCAMPS
For High School Students and Their Families
Dive in, come out ready.
Take the stress out of the College Search process with ECAP’s interactive, information-packed, and empowering jump start programs.
-
Dive into a community of professionals and your peers, all there to help you with the college prep, application and decision making process.
ECAP offers small-group workshops tailored to the needs of students at every stage.
Our intensive Application Bootcamp for Seniors will kickstart your application into high gear, and our new College Exploration Seminar gives Sophomores and Juniors an invaluable head start on their college search journey.
In every ECAP program, you’ll ask questions, get immersed, and take ownership of the entire college process in a fun and enjoyable way.
-
Whether this is your first child embarking on the college search process, or you have done this already, many parents have questions and concerns about their teen starting a college search. Parenting your teen through this exciting (and often stressful) transition can be challenging for everybody involved.
ECAP’s Parent and Guardian Info session gives you a wealth of support and information.
-
The ECAP experience continues, with a bonus booster session included with your camp registration.
-
Created by a team of deeply experienced educators and admissions professionals, ECAP is a unique interactive learning opportunity for high school students.
Both of our workshops are truly bootcamps - filled with group exercises, great coaches, demanding expectations and the rewards that come from pushing yourself.
ECAP is hosted in a university setting, and students are interacting with financial aid officers, athletic coaches, admissions staff, industry experts and university professors. The limited workshop size gives each student personal attention.
The comprehensive materials ECAP provides are a treasure trove of guidance and help for post-workshop follow up and questions.
Best of all, ECAP offers 15+ hours of content in the Application Bootcamp and 10+ hours in the Seminar, all in a concentrated, dynamic format. This provides an unmatched foundation for a successful college search experience.
Expertly customized, intensive workshops for students at every stage of the college search process.
