Palmetto Boys State lasts 7 days (Sunday to Saturday). Please consult the information packet sent to you with your registration. The session concludes after the awards ceremony, usually around 11:00 a.m. on the last Saturday.
Probably. However, we try to take the students from the same high school and place them in different cities. Because there are over 1,000 participants in the program, you will most likely see your friends at some point during the week, but will spend the vast majority of your time in your city group. When you leave the program, hopefully you will have made countless other friends from around the state.
