College Admission Prep Camp (grades 11-12)
  • SAT test preparation with a proven curriculum
  • One-on-one tutoring for college admissions essay
  •  College admissions guidance - which schools to apply to, how the process works, etc.
  •  A fun, supervised, introduction to campus life
SAT Prep
Our experienced instructors employ Test Scholars' proven curriculum, which familiarizes students with the actual test, teaches test-taking strategies, and develops sound reasoning skills.
Essay Writing
Every student gets hours of one-on-one consulting with expert writing instructors. You and your Writing Instructor discuss topics for your Personal Statement, the structure, style and grammatical aspects of the essay and go over drafts and revisions together in your individual sessions.
College Guidance
The counseling component of the CAPC helps students identify schools best suited for them, and covers the development of time management and interviewing skills.
****
NEW! This year, we are excited to offer CAPC Resort at Club Med. Held at the Sandpiper Resort in Port St. Lucie, Florida, students can go on a luxury resort vacation while going through Education Unlimited’s comprehensive College Admission Prep Camp curriculum.
****
 * CAPC Intensive *is a longer, 18-day version of our College Admission Prep Camp, created because some students are highly motivated and would benefit from a more advanced and extensive version of our 11-day program.

An even more in-depth version of our CAPC curriculum, students at CAPC Intensive will:
  •  Take 5 full-length practice SAT tests to give them test-taking practice that closely mimics the actual SAT
  • Write three personal statement essays, ready or nearly ready for submission with their applications
  • Meet with two college guidance instructors so they receive plenty of feedback and insight about their personal college admission decisions.
  • Live in the dorms, experience college life, and go on multiple fun excursions around the area such as campus visits to Stanford and UC Santa Cruz and a full day white-water rafting excursion
Prep Camp Excel (grades 9-10)
  • PSAT test preparation: important for college recruiting and the National Merit Scholarship
  •  Essay Writing: hone in on argumentative writing skills
  •  Study Skills: make the most of your high school years!
Students focus on the critical skills for success in high school and get a head-start on building impressive academic resumes.

 PSAT Prep
Students usually go into the PSAT with little or no preparation. Prep Camp Excel seeks to offer the same type of strategy and preparation that usually is reserved for the SAT. Our exclusive curriculum teaches math and verbal skills as well as vocabulary building.
 Essay Writing
Writing compelling essays is not only critical to getting good grades, but one of the most important skills a student can take away from high school. At Prep Camp Excel students have the opportunity to work individually with teachers. Each student at the camp will bring home one of the best essays they have ever written, and the knowledge of how to write more essays like it.
Study Skills
The Study Skills portion of the program helps students deal with the transition from one hour of homework in junior high to balancing several hours of homework and extracurricular activities in high school. Students will receive instruction on time management, effective note taking, reading for meaning, and exam preparation

East Coast College Tour:
Participants are encouraged to enroll with friends or join alone and make friends as you spend a week traveling through four East Coast cities, visiting neighborhoods and college campuses.

Campus destinations include Harvard, Boston College, NYU, Tufts, Boston University, Yale, Brown, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown and others. Students will take campus tours, meet with admissions officers, and receive materials to help them evaluate schools.

I believe the tours were extremely well-planned, the student tour guides were open to my questions, and I was able to get a fairly accurate and clear impression of each school. Katerina Borghi, East Coast College Tour participant

The experience was fun and wonderful. My child loved seeing all the cities and opening her eyes up to different colleges. - parent of 2005 Tour participant

This was the greatest help for me! I got a 133 on my first PSAT and today I received a 204!
--Meghan Allen, Prep Camp Excel student

[CAPC] was extremely informative and eye opening. It also took away a lot of stress from the personal statement.  - Katya Mokfi, CAPC Intensive Camper

[My daughter] was very satisfied with the program and it increased her interest in striving for a top college.- Parent of 2007 College Admission Prep Camp participant
