Georgia Highlands College (GHC) is now taking applications for this year\u2019s Foundation Camp, which will be held in two sessions this July. The first session will be held July 5 to July 9. The second session is from July 12 to July 16.<\/p>\n
Each session will be limited to roughly 30 individuals between the ages 10 to 12 years old. Spaces are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The camp, which is one of several partnerships between the 100 Black Men of Rome-Northwest Georgia and Georgia Highlands College, is funded by generous donors and the GHC Foundation, giving students the opportunity to attend the camp free of charge, including transportation and a breakfast and lunch.<\/p>\n
\u201cFoundation Camp is important because it provides young men between the ages 10 to 12 an opportunity to be on a college campus and learn from college professors while also being mentored from college students on brotherhood and the importance of higher education,\u201d GHC GHAME Coordinator and Brother 2 Brother Co-Director Evan Snelling said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Camp attendees will take part in an exciting camp that focuses on foundations in athletics, academics, self-respect and higher education. Each year, the camp features a balance of academics and athletics with activities ranging from biology and robotics to flag football and canoeing.<\/p>\n
