Technology and college/career preview programs have provided opportunities teens with disabilities to plan for college, explore careers, and get hands-on experiences with the Internet and other technology. The session was offered for fifteen years through a partnership between the University of Washington's DO-IT project and the Courage Center in Minnesota. Beginning in 2010, the program is fully operated by Courage Center.

Campers in past programs have learned to access the wealth of information and support that is available on the Internet. They participated in daily workshops on topics ranging from how to choose and apply to a college to how to take a college campus tour on the 'Net.
Sheryl Burgstahler, DO-IT Director; Rick Light, high school technology teacher; and Kris Rosenberg, DO-IT Ambassador, provided most of the instruction and technical support. A camper who previously attended a technology and college/career preview program assisted as a program intern. Much of the curriculum and resources in the program came from DO-IT's The Student Lounge website and DO-IT's rich collection of publications and videos.
Technology and college/career preview programs were not all work and no play. they were integrated into Camp Courage's annual recreational camp for teens with disabilities. The schedule allowed for ample opportunities to participate in typical camp activities like horseback riding, overnight camping, fishing, swimming, and other camp programs such as parties, dances and more.
