William Carey University will offer its third annual ACT Camp for rising junior and senior high school students with a desire to attend college. The free camp focuses on helping qualified students reach an ACT score of 21 or higher. Camps will be offered in Hattiesburg and at the Tradition campus in Biloxi.
The camp at the Tradition campus will be held Tuesday, May 30 through Friday, June 2. The Tradition campus is located at 19640 Hwy. 67, Biloxi, MS 39532.
The Hattiesburg camp will be held Monday, June 5 through Thursday, June 8. Due to tornado destruction on the Hattiesburg campus, the Hattiesburg School District has provided space to hold the camp at NR Burger Middle School. "We greatly appreciate the accommodation of our needs and the needs of the students," said Tina Bond, camp coordinator.
Each camp will provide test-taking strategy sessions, small group instruction, study materials, and snacks. Students also will receive college scholarship information and professional education information.
