Camper Experience
Once you know what you want in life, you can shape your career to match your ideal lifestyle.
Before camp, each camper completes the Find Your Grind Lifestyle Assessment to receive career recommendations. Based on their results, they choose four Career Paths to explore at colleges and universities across Metro Atlanta, creating a personalized experience.
The four-day, three-night camp is based at Oglethorpe University, offering an immersive college experience. On Days 2 and 3, campers visit their selected campuses for hands-on career workshops with professors and industry professionals.
For an additional fee, campers can also enjoy evening excursions to the Atlanta Aquarium, College Football Hall of Fame, or Main Event Entertainment Center.

Parent Experience
After dropping off their camper, parents will attend workshops on college financial planning, scholarships, and ways to support career exploration beyond camp.
For a year after camp, both campers and parents can access the Find Your Grind platform, featuring online career modules and mentorship opportunities in various fields.
