Campers will explore personality theories to find their strengths and growth areas as a way to better understand themselves and their current relationships, and even use it as a tool to consider future majors and career opportunities. We will also use stories, current events, discussions, and "what if" scenarios to apply the principles of social psychology. Lastly, we will look at how advances in technology and the introduction of positive psychology have given us greater insight into our behaviors and thought processes. For their final project, campers will select one of the concepts covered throughout the course to develop and conduct their own psychology experiment."
