Swarthmore is one of the nation's finest institutions of higher learning. In addition to being academically distinguished, Swarthmore has a reputation for developing young leaders committed to favorably influencing our changing and complex world. Located 11 miles southwest of Philadelphia, Swarthmore's idyllic, 399-acre campus is a designated arboretum, complete with rolling lawns, creek, wooded hills, and hiking trails. The college has a diverse population, drawing students from around the world and all 50 states. We highly recommend Swarthmore for a residential or day camp experience with the Digital Media Academy.
