Summer Visit Days

Explore Kenyon’s campus and hear directly from students about living and learning in Gambier, Ohio, during our summer visit programs. Students are invited to participate in an essay-writing workshop or a mock application review, and parents can learn more about the admissions and financial aid process. Additional afternoon options are available so you may customize your day.

Please note that these programs are intended for students who will be high school seniors in the fall of 2023.
