One-Week Virtual Intensive
ADHD College Success Bootcamp
One week. One plan. One semester you’ll actually feel ready for.
Is this you?
You have ADHD. And college is… a lot.
Maybe you’re heading in for the first time — excited but quietly terrified that the struggles from high school are going to follow you onto campus. Maybe you’re a returning student who knows firsthand that college hits different, and last semester didn’t go the way you hoped.
Sound familiar?
- Missing or turning in assignments late… again
- Skipping classes because you just can’t make yourself go
- Sitting in a lecture completely lost, wondering how everyone else seems to get it
- Feeling overwhelmed by the workload before the semester even really begins
- Hyperfocusing on the things that interest you while everything else piles up
- Struggling to balance academic life, social life, and just… being a person
- Feeling unmotivated in classes that don’t engage your brain, no matter how hard you try
- Dreading that conversation with your parents about how the semester is actually going
And maybe carrying this quiet belief that doing well in school means giving up your social life. That you have to choose between thriving academically and actually enjoying college.
You don’t.
That’s not laziness. That’s not a character flaw. That’s an ADHD brain navigating a system that was never designed for how you think, learn, and move through the world. And it doesn’t have to stay this way.
What is the bootcamp?
A week built around how your brain actually works.
A one-week virtual intensive designed specifically for college students with ADHD — built around how your brain actually works, not how everyone else thinks it should.
This isn’t another study skills workshop. This isn’t generic advice you’ve already heard. This is a week of real, deep, personalized support that leaves you with something concrete: a Semester Blueprint built around YOU.
And yes — you can have a thriving academic life and a social life. You just need the right conditions, the right tools, and a plan that actually fits your brain.
Who is this for?
This bootcamp is for you if you are…
- An undergraduate student between the ages of 17–24 with ADHD (diagnosed or suspected)
- A rising freshman who has struggled with ADHD and wants to start college strong
- A returning student who wants to enter the new year with a real plan and real support
- Someone tired of struggling through the semester and ready for something different
You know your student better than anyone. You’ve watched them work twice as hard as everyone else. You’ve seen the late nights, the missed deadlines, the frustration, and the self-doubt. And you’ve probably wished more than once that there was something specifically designed to support them. This is it.
If your college student has ADHD and is heading into a new semester, the best thing you can do is encourage them to invest this week in themselves. Share this page with them. Talk about it together. Let them know you believe in their capacity to thrive — with the right support.
You can purchase a spot on their behalf or encourage them to register directly. Either way, your support means everything — and this bootcamp will give them tools, community, and a personalized plan that will serve them far beyond one semester.
The outcome
What you’ll walk away with
A deep understanding of your ADHD brain
Your rhythms, your strengths, your challenges, and your specific needs. Not ADHD in general — your brain specifically.
A personalized Semester Blueprint
A complete, realistic, ADHD-friendly plan for your actual semester. Your schedule, your priorities, your strategy. Built by you, for you.
Knowledge of your campus resources
Exactly what support is available, how to access it, and how to advocate for yourself with professors, advisors, and disability services.
Real executive function tools
Practical strategies for managing time, tasks, focus, and overwhelm — designed for ADHD brains, not borrowed from neurotypical productivity culture.
A community that gets it
A buddy team, a cohort of students who understand your experience, and a network of support that extends well beyond bootcamp week.
A plan — and the life around it
Move from worry to genuine confidence, with the self-knowledge to thrive academically without sacrificing the joy college is also supposed to be about.
The experience
How the week holds you.

Lifetime Community Access
Your cohort doesn’t end when bootcamp does. You’ll have ongoing access to the online community space — a space to ask questions, celebrate wins, and support each other through the semester and beyond.

Misty is a licensed clinical social worker, ADHD coach, and late-diagnosed adult with ADHD who knows firsthand what it feels like to navigate college without the right support. She was academically dismissed from Brown University twice before anyone thought to check whether her brain just worked differently. It took fourteen years to get her degree.
She built this bootcamp so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
With over eight years of experience supporting adults and young people with ADHD — and as the mom of two college students with ADHD — Misty brings clinical expertise, lived experience, and genuine care to every session.
