Experience Campus Life:
Throughout the day, you’ll get a feel for the community, relationships, and spiritual formation that shape life at CCBC.
Before Experience CCBC, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go to college. I signed up for Experience CCBC after hearing about it, and it changed everything.
When I arrived, I saw the community firsthand—how close-knit, welcoming, and family-like everyone was. In that moment, I realized I wanted to be part of it.

While Preview Day is a one-day event, we recognize that some guests may be traveling from out of town and may need overnight accommodations. CCBC does not provide on-campus housing for Preview Day guests, but we are happy to recommend nearby hotels.
If you are flying in, CCBC is located just 15 minutes from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) and about one hour from Tampa International Airport (TPA).
Make a Weekend of It
If you’re traveling to Preview Day from out of town, consider extending your stay and exploring Florida’s Gulf Coast. CCBC is located just a short drive from some of the area’s beautiful beaches, including Anna Maria Island and Siesta Key Beach.
If you’ll be in town on Sunday, we’d also love for you to join us at WestChurch, our partner church, and experience the local church community that plays an important role in the life of CCBC.
