Summer Programs: Something for Every Student

Its not too late to enroll your high school student in an exciting summer program where they will have the opportunity to not only explore an activity of interest to them, but will gain valuable experience living away from home making new friends and discovering new places.

TO FOLLOW IS A SAMPLING OF RESOURCES AND ACTUAL CAMPS. BY NO MEANS IS THE LIST EXHAUSTIVE AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AN ENDORSEMENT PER SE OF THOSE LISTED. HOPEFULLY IT WILL INSPIRE YOU TO TALK WITH YOUR STUDENT ABOUT THE EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES BOTH NEXT DOOR AND ACROSS THE OCEANS.
