21st Century Community Learning School Summer Camps at Auburn University

21st Century Camp

A summer camp designed for high school students who come to campus for a week of training as 21st Century Community Learning Center (extended day) tutors. The camp, sponsored by the AU Truman Pierce Institute (TPI), focuses on providing students with information and skills that will allow them to work successfully in 21st CCLC programs.

In addition to learning Math, Writing, and Reading skills they learn about the natural sciences through hands-on experiences in the classroom and in the field. They learn how to combine nature studies with art, music, and literature. The week also brings opportunities for fun, games, socializing, and positive experiences on a college campus. Participating students return to their school systems and serve a minimum of 40 hours working as tutors in an extended-day program. There is no fee associated with the program; all participants will have been selected by TPI to receive a scholarship covering the cost of all instruction, lodging, and meals.
