The Boys and Girls Club Teen Center of Easton has begun conducting college campus tours for teens, and there are still spots open! Local teens have already visited the campuses of Penn State Lehigh Valley (above), and Empire Beauty School in Whitehall.

Below is the schedule of campuses to come. Although their summer camp is now completely full, there are still spots available on the bus for campus tours. This is a great opportunity for kids to get a glimpse into college life, and what various campuses have to offer, should they consider going to college, or a trade school. Below is a message from Dean Young, Director of the Boys and Girls Club:

For teens thinking about college and careers, the Boys & Girls Club of Easton has a great opportunity for you; an affordable way to visit college campuses, and career training schools, learn about the important questions to ask when making your college/career choice, and an opportunity to meet with admission officers and engage in discussion with college students who can offer a personal view of their college life experiences.
