Pathway Summer Experience highlight 1!☀️

Sharing our first Pathway summer experience highlight of the week! Students at camp were able to experience campus life by spending the week living in the campus dorms and enjoying their meals at the campus dining halls.

Students at camp shared that the food was great and had a great time staying in the dorms!

These students participated in many activities including campus tours, basketball tournaments, vision board workshop, accessible yoga, gaming studio, music studio, botanical gardens visit, planetarium, learning life skills and more!

We want to thank all of the students who took part in our very first summer experience! We would also like to thank all the staff, counselors, campus organizations, and guest speakers who helped bring this experience to life!
