The document summarizes two summer camps hosted at Fairmont State University - the Future Teachers Academy and Think College Institute. The Future Teachers Academy teaches campers about the teaching profession through seminars on lesson plans and portfolios. The Think College Institute allows campers to experience college life for two weeks by taking day and evening classes. Both camps involve a structured daily schedule and field trips to supplement learning. Feedback from campers suggests they enjoyed their time at the camps.
