College Tour Group Leader - Summer 2026
About The Position
Education Unlimited® provides academic summer camps & pre-college summer programs for students entering grades 4-12. Our summer programs include public speaking camps, college admissions prep programs, science camps, summer acting camp, writing camps, computer camp, leadership camp, video production camp, and college tours. For many students, the process of figuring out which school best fits their needs is an overwhelming and confusing task. Education Unlimited group college tours allow students to visit and experience life at several prominent university and college campuses. The Tour transforms this experience into an enriching and exciting summer adventure, in which students participate in campus tours, meet with admissions representatives, and receive materials to help evaluate each school. Tour participants are presented with strategies in getting the most out of their future college visits. Students learn what questions they should be asking of campus officials, how to compare schools to one another, and what factors are most important for their personal college selection process. Many tours are led by the admissions office staff, others by Education Unlimited personnel, depending on the campus and tour dates. Where available, campus tours will also include an information meeting provided by admissions office staff.
