Abstract	This paper reports the development and implementation of a multi-year program targeting a cohort of at-risk pre-freshmen. The program, called BOSS Camp (Business Opportunities for Success School), was designed to motivate, acculturate and encourage economically disadvantaged pre-freshman to attend college and become business majors. The process of developing, implementing and adapting the BOSS Camp program is described. Program participants report that participation in the Camp has markedly increased their self-confidence and increased intentions to attend college. (Contains 3 tables.) (Author).
