Lyndon State College has developed a number of special programs offered in the summer for students who are not yet college aged. Introducing younger learners to life on campus is a good way to help them feel comfortable with the idea of attending college, raise their aspirations, and, of course, have a good time! In addition to the Hoop Camps, Entrepreneur Camp, and Weather Camp we offered in 2013, we have added more experiences for middle- and high-school aged students. The new Baseball and Soccer Showcase Camps allow younger students to benefit from Lyndon’s college-level coaching staff. We’ve added more camps for budding entrepreneurs and a STEM camp for tomorrow’s science, technology, engineering, and mathematics leaders. We are especially proud to offer our first overnight camp, a week-long Rock & Roll Recording Camp offered by our Music Business and Industry department.
