At West Valley Camps, we offer dynamic four-day programs designed for rising high school seniors to explore their passions in a college setting.
Our camps provide hands-on learning, personal development, and a glimpse into college life. With both paid and scholarship options available, we strive to make this opportunity accessible to all students.
Each camp will accept 24 students, and due to high demand, selections will be based on the strength of completed applications.
