College Connection Camp
June 2-5, 2026
2027 Dates announced Spring 2027
College Connection Camp provides a fun, interactive, and enriching college experience to boost academic, social, and independent-living skills. College Connection Camp is a collaboration between the University of Texas at Dallas and Segue Center, with guidance from Spectra Therapies.
The camp is ideal for neurodivergent rising high school seniors (Class of 2027) who can see for themselves what to expect out of college life before sending in their own applications or making their post-graduation plans. The experience can help students decide if they are ready to enroll in university right after high school, or if they could benefit from taking a more gradual approach. It also helps students prioritize which skills to target to make their ultimate college transition a success.
The camp is also designed for recent high school graduates (Class of 2026 or earlier) with autism spectrum disorder, executive dysfunction order, and/or other challenges to their successful transition to college life. Even current college students who may have had a few bumps in the road in previous years can benefit from College Connection Camp’s supported instruction.
The camp is open to prospective and current students of any college/university, not exclusively the University of Texas at Dallas. Participants do not need to be enrolled in any higher education, and in fact can still be entering their senior year of high school.
Applications will open Spring 2027
