Each year, a group of incoming freshmen, (typically first generation college bound students), are invited to participate in a three week summer camp, on and off the Burr and Burton campus. A few things that the camp offers is team building activities, college visits and hikes, and most importantly, getting to know your peers and the new campus lifestyle. This helps make the transition from middle school to high school less stressful and more enjoyable. Scholars can connect with teachers and camp counselors (previous participants in the camp and current success scholars), ultimately feeling more prepared and eased to start their high school journey. The camp generally runs in the end of July, and beginning weeks of August.
