College Camp Coaches Parents on Choices

Parents hungry for information to help their sons and daughters make college choices can get the answers to their questions when Hiram College hosts “College Camp: A Training Program for Parents,” from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, November 1, in the Kennedy Center.

Hiram is partnering with Aurora High School, Cuyahoga Community College and The University of Akron to offer the camp, which is aimed at demystifying some of the ins and outs of college searches, admissions and costs. Admission is free.

The free seminar will feature presentations and question-and-answer sessions with a high school guidance counselor, college and university admission representatives and a financial aid expert. Since its inception in 2002, College Camp has served more than 450 parents of high school students.

Each participant will receive a packet of useful information to assist them with their college search process.
