Pillsbury College Prep and Camp is a year-round boarding school and summer camp in Owatonna, Minnesota, United States.
Pillsbury College and Prep is a boarding school that provides life skills and opportunities for students to excel both academically and in areas of personal interest. Students can stay year round, attend the traditional school year, then attend Camp Pillsbury for the summer or partial summer, or stay for the traditional school year and go home for summers.
Camp Pillsbury is a summer camp, which offers multiple session options for sleep-away camp beginning June 14 to August 24 with a variety of activities, and opportunities in its end-of-sessions showcases, exhibits, presentations and visiting day for parents.
C.H.O.I.C.E. Technical Academy is also located on the Pillsbury campus, and is a tuition-free public charter school, established in 2015; it serves students grades 7-12. The school offers a personalized, hands-on learning program rooted in democratic principles and works to meet student's needs by engaging student passions and interests.
The campus was previously home to the Pillsbury Military Academy, Pillsbury Academy, Minnesota Academy, and Pillsbury Baptist Bible College. In 1987 a historic district comprising five campus buildings was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Pillsbury Academy Campus Historic District. It was nominated for having local significance in architecture, education, and religion as the only Baptist school among Minnesota's 19th-century private institutions of higher education, its fine architecture, and its association with benefactors Mark H. Dunnell and George A. Pillsbury.
The campus was first opened as the Minnesota Academy on September 10, 1877, by the Minnesota Baptist State Convention as a college-preparatory school. The name was changed to the Pillsbury Academy in 1886 in honor of one of its chief donors, George A. Pillsbury of the First Baptist Church in Minneapolis, and one-time mayor of the city. In 1920 it was renamed the Pillsbury Military Academy. In 1957, after a dispute resulted in a change in Baptist Convention control from American Baptist to fundamentalist Minnesota Baptist, the Academy was abruptly closed and reconstituted as a 4-year biblical arts college, Pillsbury Baptist Bible College.
