Earning credit has never been this much fun! We already know you’re going to learn so much at camp, but we want to help you maximize your experience by earning college credits. You may choose to take credits (i.e. field experience, internship, independent study, etc.) through your home academic institution or enroll in “Field Experience in Camp Counseling” offered for our program through the University of Northern Iowa (UNI).
Upon successful completion of the program and course requirements, the credits you earn with UNI may be transferred to your college or university. We will be happy to provide a course description and syllabus to your academic advisor to ensure successful transfer of credits.
If you participate in our program more than one year, you will have the opportunity to take additional course credits, as outlined below.
If you would like to take course credits through our program, please contact us for more detailed information about tuition and enrollment.
