Bowdoin Bound's Celebrates 10 Years this Summer!

On July 22nd, more than 40 Bowdoin students, chaperones and educators will board a bus and head up to Brunswick, Maine for a wonderful week of camp and educational activities. The younger group (6th through 8th grade) will enjoy 5 fun-filled days at the Bowdoin Day Camp while the high school students will make college visits to a variety of New England colleges. The older students will also work on their applications, engage in mock interviews as well as attend a college essay prep class.  Both of the groups will spend several hours in the classroom discussing books and getting a feel for academic life at college. As in the past, this week at Bowdoin will be a great mixture of fun and education.  WBAL radio in Baltimore profiled Bowdoin Bound before we departed for Maine last year:  http://www.wbal.com/absolutenm/templates/story.aspx?articleid=76628&zone...
