OUR PURPOSE
Empowering students with the essential tools they need to gain access to the college, university, or career of their choice.
Support shaped around your school.
Academic preparation
ACT preparation, mock testing, and targeted instruction shaped by student needs.
Professional learning
Practical workshops and coaching that help educators bring effective strategies into daily instruction.
College and career access
Advising, campus experiences, and planning that help students take their next step.
Program and district support
Planning and implementation support for schools, districts, and GEAR UP partners.
The right partnership starts with what your students and educators need. Bring CAMP in for one focused service, or build a coordinated plan across several.
PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE
Three settings, three designs. Scores rose in each.
CAMP has served 200,000+ students across 5 states. Every district starts in a different place, so every design is different. Here is what focused ACT preparation looked like in three Alabama partnerships.

THE CAMP WAY
Your context shapes the plan.
Your students, priorities, data, and capacity shape the work. We listen before we recommend, then curate and customize support that fits your setting.
A plan that works beyond the meeting.
01 Listen and learn.
Start with your goals, student needs, and the work already underway.
02 Curate and customize.
Choose the right services and adapt delivery, pacing, resources, and communication to your context.
03 Implement and refine.
Work alongside your team, review what is happening, and adjust the support.
