that will introduce you to life at college! 

Want to know what it’s like to live and learn on a college campus? Then join us at Georgia College and get the inside scoop on college 

life away from home before you take the plunge! 

For the first two weeks in June you will be going to class, finding out what resident life is like, eating in our dining rooms, meeting our faculty 

and students, and learning to manage your newfound independence! Learn about admissions policies, get help with financial aid questions, and join 

in on one-on-one workshops where you will meet friendly members of our campus community who will help you navigate college academics and 

campus life. 

In case you’re wondering, it’s not all work and no play at Georgia College! 

Between classes, workshops and out-of-class projects, you will have a host of activities and events planned to keep you busy! Activities include: 

relaxing by the pool, self-defense classes, yoga and rope climbing, movie nights and trips off campus. You will be amazed at the activities and 

events you’ll have access to in college. Between doing your own laundry, working on your class projects, taking in the scene in downtown historic 

Milledgeville, which is walking distance from your on-campus housing, and making new friends and mentors, your days here will be full! 

Why College Readiness Academy? 

We want you to succeed in college! 

It’s not just being away from home that’s challenging. 

• Your classes will be different and more difficult than in high school. 

• You will be in a new environment. 

• You will have new and different daily responsibilities.

and other priorities as you take this first step into adulthood. 

GC’s College Readiness Academy will give you the tools to do these 

things and more, whether you decide to come to Georgia College or 

not! 

You will learn about all the standard services that colleges and 

universities provide for student success and learn how to use them to

up for you to succeed, and we want you to take your first step with 

confidence!

completing your projects.

Extreme Science 

July 8-13 

Freshwater Investigations 

ALPHA Extreme Science is looking for all 

future biologists, chemists and any other 

students interested in science to aid in 

freshwater investigations and learn how and 

why organizations such as the Environmental 

Protection Agency participate in freshwater 

analyses! Almost ¾ of the world’s surface is 

covered with water, but most of this is found in 

oceans. Since the water in our oceans accounts 

for more than 95% of the water, it only leaves a 

small percentage of freshwater for our survival. 

Join us for a week of exciting and challenging 

experiments inside the Georgia College labs and 

classrooms and in a variety of fresh water habitats 

as we seek out the few sources of fresh water we 

have access to and conduct hands-on experiments 

to determine what factors affect our fresh water 

supply. You will explore water treatment facilities, 

journey to local lakes and rivers to collect samples 

for our analyses and partake in an adventure 

at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta! You will 

learn factors that contribute to healthy aquatic 

ecosystems by conducting investigations using 

scientific tools such as microscopes, water quality 

test kits and much more! You will also learn how 

water quality can be affected by pH, temperature, 

oxygen content, turbidity, algae, plankton and 

human activities. This program is a must for any 

aspiring scientist, so make sure and apply today! 

Instructors: Ruth Eilers and Emily Parrish 

Extreme Performing Arts 

July 15-20 

Acting: 

Taking Risks and Making Choices 

ALPHA Extreme Performing Arts is 

calling all young actors near and far for 

this concentrated week of rigorous acting 

work led by collegiate and professional 

experts that will leave any actor better 

prepared and more focused for getting 

the part. So often acting training becomes 

lost in theatrical games and philosophies 

leading to little action; this camp will 

teach the importance of deep textual 

analysis to reveal character needs through 

risks and choices that yield unforgettable 

dedicated performances. Coupled with 

intense awareness training, you will take 

considerable steps in self-awareness that 

will lead to performances that project an 

informed inner monologue. Regardless if 

educational or professional, auditioning 

for college or community theatre, this 

intense week will change the way you 

approach the script. 

Please note that all students who are 

accepted will need to have two 60 to 

90 second (memorized and prepared) 

monologues and a focused, open minded, 

serious willingness to learn. 

Instructors: Iona Cruey Pendergast and 

Jimmy Holder

Beginning Western 

Square Dancing 

If you’re brand new to square dancing or you just need 

a refresher, you’ll be dancing from the very first night. 

There’s no fancy footwork in square dancing; it’s more 

like walking in rhythm with some swinging and twirling. 

It’s good for you, too! The aerobic exercise involved in 

an evening of square dancing is similar in intensity to a 

3-5 mile walk, but it’s a lot more fun. So put on your soft 

soled shoes (no cowboy boots yet), and come on down 

and dance like nobody’s watching! You don’t even need 

to bring a partner but you can. A signed waiver of liability 

is required.

You’re on the Air! (How to Really Make 

it in Voiceovers) 

Voiceovers are hot today! Audio books, documentaries, public 

announcements, e-learning and commercials - the possibilities 

are unending. You don’t have to be an actor to get voiceover 

work! With such notable talent as James Earl Jones, Linda Hunt 

and Donald Sutherland lending their voices to commercials, films 

and videos, one would think that it would be next to impossible 

to break into this field. Not so! In this class, you’ll learn about 

an exciting new way to get around the competition and actually 

turn voice-overs into a thriving full or part-time business! 

Angela Castonguay’s most recent voiceover work includes 

television commercials for middle Georgia businesses, voice 

mail recordings for corporations and the continuing development 

of her personalized voiceover greeting card business. She will 

demonstrate voice-over techniques and will introduce you to the 

voice-over business as a whole. She will talk about the numerous 

opportunities, the income potential and the all-important demo 

and how to have it produced. You’ll step up to the microphone to 

do some practice recording and best of all, hear the results!

Your Dog Knows a Lot of Stuff 

We bet he already knows how to walk, sit, roll over, beg

up the bulbs you just planted? Join Hurb Ingles in this safe, 

successful, and enjoyable training institute and learn to enhance 

communication between you and your dog while you help your 

dog develop learning skills with the clicker training method. It

buddy can. You will need to bring some tools:

nose work. We start you with ten games that build the needed 

connection between you, your dog and these pursuits. 

You will learn the fundamentals that can lead you and your 

special friend to these exciting competitions and services. You 

will need to have completed “Your Dog Knows a Lot of Stuff” 

to qualify for this entertaining adventure. Even if you just want 

to sharpen your bond with your dog, come aboard!

Defensive Driving 

Save a life! Drive defensively! More than 43,000 people lose their lives in motor vehicle crashes each 

year, and over two million more suffered disabling injuries, according to the National Safety Council. 

For teenagers, cars are still the leading cause of death. “Death by driving” is the third highest preventable 

cause of death. The triple threat of high speeds, impaired or careless driving and not using occupant 

restraints threatens every driver, regardless of how careful or how skilled. Driving defensively means not 

only taking responsibility for yourself and your actions, but also keeping an eye on “the other guy.” 

GC is proud to be your partner in striving to prevent automobile accidents. In addition, you can save 

money on your auto insurance (or, parents can save money on your teenager’s insurance!) by successfully 

completing this National Safety Council Defensive Driving course. Georgia Senate Bill 433 requires 

insurance companies in Georgia to give families with good driving experience a 10% discount on portions 

of their auto insurance upon completion of this course. Eligibility for the discount will continue for three 

years, provided that no driver commits a moving traffic offense or has a claim against the policy based 

on an at-fault accident. Consult with your insurance agent to determine exactly how completion of this 

program will affect your insurance rates. 

Please bring paper and pencils to class. This course is not for points reduction.

CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) 

In the time it takes you to read this information, Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) 

will have claimed another victim. Statistics show that over 300,000 Americans 

die of SCA every year. Up to 50,000 of these deaths could have been prevented 

if someone on the scene had initiated the Cardiac Chain of Survival and an 

automated external defibrillator (AED) had been available for immediate use 

at the time of the emergency. This OSHA approved Red Cross course gives 

participants in and out of the workplace the knowledge and skills necessary to 

recognize and care for injuries and sudden illnesses. Instruction includes Adult 

and Infant CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training for victims 

of sudden cardiac arrest. Upon successful completion, participants will receive a
