- [00:00:00.040]Big Red Camps are a college and career readiness program that we offer to high school students
- [00:00:24.600]across our state, the nation, and we even had some international students. I think it gives
- [00:00:29.400]students an excellent opportunity to see what campus life is like and give them a small taste
- [00:00:34.560]of how it all operates and even more than that I think it gives them an opportunity to make
- [00:00:38.640]connections and friendships that can last them actual years as well as explore some of their
- [00:00:44.400]interests for the future. I thought it was going to be a great experience to broaden my horizons
- [00:00:48.360]and experience a little more of the college life. I wanted to be able to be around more people with
- [00:00:53.040]my interests and want to learn more about it and learn more in depth. We really want students to
- [00:00:58.800]have the end in mind thinking about what they want to do later on in life and then setting
- [00:01:02.820]themselves up for success now in high school for what they want to do later in life. Many of these
- [00:01:08.640]camps are led by one staff member who is usually a professional in said fields but the kids really
- [00:01:15.040]really work together a lot on some of the different projects
- [00:01:18.160]and they learn together on the tours.
- [00:01:20.160]And many times they eat together and they room together
- [00:01:23.200]and they really get to know each other a lot
- [00:01:25.700]because college is very, very focused
- [00:01:27.760]on being around peers with your same interests.
- [00:01:31.260]- I wanted to experience like that college is fun
- [00:01:33.580]and it's not as scary as it is
- [00:01:35.980]that there's a lot of peers that are in a similar boat.
- [00:01:38.720]- I come from a really small school.
- [00:01:40.340]So I'm like one of 16 in my grade.
- [00:01:43.240]And so coming here on a big university to work with kids
- [00:01:46.640]that I never would have gotten to work with before
- [00:01:48.380]was what really excited me.
- [00:01:49.940]- I was really impressed
- [00:01:51.820]when I walked into the journalism school
- [00:01:54.120]and I just saw all the equipment that we were able to use.
- [00:01:56.920]They gave us a client to work with
- [00:01:58.320]and then we worked with them the rest of the week.
- [00:02:00.000]- We hope campers will take away knowledge, skills
- [00:02:02.560]and experiences to set them up for success
- [00:02:05.160]as they move forward in their post-secondary military
- [00:02:08.460]or workforce options in the future.
- [00:02:11.200]- This is a path to adulthood
- [00:02:13.100]and a path to finding independence in oneself
- [00:02:16.060]is the biggest takeaway I'd say
- [00:02:17.740]campers should experience.
- [00:02:19.000]- I know exactly what I'm gonna do when I graduate now
- [00:02:22.380]and where I'm going.
