Stetson University is proud to partner with Cognition Builders to offer its first Adulting Bootcamp. Our Adulting Bootcamp is for every parent who wishes their teenager could take a crash course in growing up. In just one day, your high schooler will learn the specifics of managing their responsibilities -- old and new -- successfully and independently. Our fully interactive program will cover what’s not taught in high school, how study strategies change from high school to college, and how to navigate the unexpected challenges young adulthood brings. Students will learn the habits they need to be a college-ready, turnkey adult, including:

How to get a scholarship
How to make a good first impression
How to do laundry at school
How to find or start a club
How to make solutions, not excuses
How to show up to class when you don’t feel like going
How to avoid all-nighters
How to get your bearings, thrive on campus and in your neighborhood
How to finish long-term assignments gradually
How to navigate eating on campus
How to write a professional email
How to build relationships with professors
How to get letters of reference
How to take care of yourself; whether you’re sick, stressed, or just tired
How to detach from video games and social media (when you need to)
How to land an internship

Adulting Bootcamp gives teens the skills they need to become independent and successful young adults, and parents the peace of mind that their teen will make it in the real world.

Cognition Builders team members are experts in habit-formation, teaching the direct language and behavior students need to transition into college life and thrive. All students who participate will leave with an Adulting Bootcamp Manual that covers all topics taught in the course, in addition to those you’ll think about once the bootcamp has ended. Students can also continue to work with Cognition Builders.
