Blog unaware of similar effort for 73,000 residents on East side of Yavapai County on Verde Campus or at Sedona Center

A story in the The Daily Courier of July 5, 2018 announced that the Launch Pad Teen Center in Prescott will be partnering with Yavapai College to offer Prescott teens what is described as “a real college experience through the `Real World Preskitt Camp’ July 23 through July 27.”

In a news release, Real World Preskitt said that the program is “the Launch Pad’s oldest running summer camp, is a week-long life skills adventure camp that focuses on building real world skills that will help teens make it as an adult in today’s world, according to a news release.  

The news release also said that The Launch Pad is “teaming up with Yavapai College, allowing it to add an overnight component to the camp, the news release states. Campers will stay in the dorm rooms at Yavapai College and get a taste of what college is all about.”

“This camp is perfect for high school students preparing to go to college or move out on their own for the first time. Limited space is available, visit The Launch Pad’s website or call to reserve your spot in this incredibly unique summer camp. Scholarships are available for all summer camps.”

The Blog is unaware of any similar effort on the east side of the County on the Verde Campus or at the Sedona Center.
