College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP)

The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) is a unique educational program at California State University, San Marcos (CSU-SM) that helps students from migrant and seasonal farm worker backgrounds to succeed in college. CAMP is a national program that was established over thirty years ago, and has helped thousands of students accomplish their educational goals. CSU-SM was awarded the CAMP grant in 2002. CAMP offers students pre-college transition and first-year support services to help develop the skills needed to stay in school and successfully graduate from college. CAMP at CSU-SM is comprised 100% of Latino students, many who are first-generation college students, low-income, and in need of remediation to succeed in college. CAMP also provides parent workshops and college orientation conferences.
