Young Professionals Program
Worcester State College has prepared professionals in the Worcester Community for over 130 years. During summers, we bring you The Young Professionals Program for young people entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grades next fall.
The Young Professionals Program is a 2–week summer day camp held on Worcester State College’s campus. The program offers two weeks of fun, inspiration, and imagination that will strengthen core academic, personal, and creative skills. It offers great exposure to college and "professions".
The Young Professionals Program is taught by experienced and engaging certified teachers, who are assisted and guided by Worcester State College faculty.
The Young Professionals Program runs from July 14–25. Classes begin at 8:30am and end at 4:30pm each of the 10 program days. Supervised drop-off is at 8:15 a.m. in the Gym Building lobby. Pick-up is at 4:45 in the same location. Lunch is provided mid-day along with games and campus activities.
There is a Family Finale on Friday, July 25th at 5pm with an exhibition and presentation by the new Young Professionals.
