Abstract	This qualitative study explored lived experiences of eight youth-camp alumni who were enrolled in colleges. This study was grounded in four paradigms: knowledge application, positive youth development (PYD), personal skills, and social integration. The key findings of this study were transfer of learning between skills learned in youth programs including resident camp, and applications of those skills in transitions into colleges. It found evidence of specific and non-specific transfer as defined by Bruner (1963). Furthermore, it found evidence of near transfer of knowledge from similar but not identical contexts. Finally, this study found that intrapersonal and interpersonal skills defined by Gardner (1993) were both acquired and applied in transfer of learning from youth programs to transition into colleges. Recommendations for youth professionals, K-12 educators, parents, colleges, and universities are to support discussion of non-formal education programs in preparing students for transition from high school to college.
