How to Apply | Pre-Camp

Application Instructions

To apply to Pre-Camp, submit a personal statement to help us better understand who you are and why you want to attend Pre-Camp. For inspiration, we have a question for you to focus your answer around:

• What makes you excited about life?

Respond to the following question in any way you want. For example, send us a short essay, poem, collage, drawing, song, or photograph, which can be submitted on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper, YouTube link or emailed (pdf) to precamp@springfield.edu.

We understand that summer is a very busy time for you, but a simple personal statement that shows some thought and communicates your desire to attend Pre-Camp is all we’re looking for. Please feel free to be yourself and include any additional information that you would like to share with us (hobbies, sports, most memorable experience, etc.).
