Central Honors Institute

Students who will be entering the 7th or 8th grade in the fall of 2026 and who have demonstrated academic accomplishments, leadership, and maturity among their peers are invited to apply to our four-day residential camp. At CHI, campers will have the opportunity to meet other high ability learners from across the state while participating in one of three STEM based academic tracks. The instructors who lead these tracks are some of the brightest, most innovative educators from across the state.

With the help of our highly qualified staff comprised of two (2) social directors, six (6) instructors, two (2) residence hall advisors and three (3) student interns, we promise to keep things exciting and fast-paced to help students stay two steps ahead of any first-time jitters! During their stay at camp, students will get to fully experience life on a community college campus by living in one of our two modern residence halls and eating all meals in the CCC cafeteria. Each day, students will attend classes that are designed to challenge them academically through hands-on activities and experiences. Students and their peers will also engage in a variety of organized social activities that are facilitated by our camp social directors.
