Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin Counselor Tour

Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin invite you to visit our respective campuses and experience the beauty of Maine first-hand this fall. The Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin (CBB) Counselor Tour is a selective tour designed primarily for secondary school counselors and community-based organizations from across the country. The three-day program includes tours, panels, and information sessions focused on identifying the distinguishing characteristics of each institution as well as an opportunity to explore Maine’s largest city, Portland. Counselors leave better able to inform and advise their students about these three outstanding colleges. The 2026 CBB Tour will take place from Sunday, September 13 through Tuesday, September 15.

To submit an application, please complete the form below. Please note that applications will be due no later than Sunday, May 31, 2026. Notifications about the counselor selections for this year's tour will be sent via email in mid-June. If you are selected to attend, necessary travel arrangements will be made after that time. For more information, refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.

Due to limited space, this tour is reserved for High School Counselors and individuals from Community Based Organizations.
