Students present during 2024 Actuarial Science Camp at LVC

Actuarial Science Camp

Our Actuarial Science Summer Camps are week-long intensive programs for rising high school seniors designed to help them decide if they’re interested in actuarial careers.

LVC has had a successful Actuarial Science Program for more than 50 years, and we’ve run this summer camp for more than three decades. Leveraging industry connections and alumni suggestions, we’ve forged an authentic experience that features interaction with actuaries and an introduction to relevant software and content.

In the summer of 2025, we will have two one-week long camps:

  • June 22–27, 2025
  • July 6–11, 2025

During the week, students live on campus in a residence hall with Resident Assistants who are current LVC students. Students eat their meals in the Allan W. Mund College Center.

Lebanon Valley College values inclusion and diversity. Per BeAnActuary.org, African-American, Hispanic, and Native American communities are underrepresented in the field of actuarial science. We encourage underrepresented students to apply; financial aid may be available.

For more information, please view the FAQ below, and contact Patrick Brewer, director of actuarial science, at brewer@lvc.edu regarding any camp questions.

FAQs

In Their Words

The camp convinced me that I would find actuarial science interesting and that LVC had a strong program that would lead me to job opportunities. While there is a heavy math requirement in becoming an actuary, and it is easy to get wrapped up in the math course work, other skills like communication and programming are what will set you apart and get you a job. One of the most important skills to have is the ability to present complex information in a straightforward and engaging way.
