Psychology in Action Camp
June 30 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Harness your “Superpowers” to solve community problems with the Mount’s psych professors.
June 30, 2026, 9am to 3:30pm
Participants won’t just study the mind — they’ll put it to the test in this one-day, interactive experience designed for the next generation of leaders who understand the value of mastering the “Human Element” for future success. Through immersive experiments, personal challenges, and cutting-edge demonstrations, participants will explore the major areas of psychology (biological, cognitive, developmental, social, personality, and health) alongside supportive mentors. At the end of the day, they will collaborate with a team to solve a real-world community problem using their newly gained “Psychological Superpowers.”
