Summer program benefits

Summer camps and programs allow teens to find opportunities to gain experience and build their resume outside of the traditional learning framework. From academic programs to outdoor adventure camps and everything in between, these programs share a focus on real, out-of-the-classroom enrichment.

For many students, summer programs and camps can also serve as a “trial run” of sorts for adult life,

• Confirming a student’s passion about a certain topic
• Revealing whether they’re ready to spend extended time away from home
• Giving teens a chance to explore and expand their interests

Finding the perfect summer camp or program

With a wide variety of options, you’ll find something to fit every preference and budget. We’ve curated a diverse selection of the best summer programs for middle and high school students.

Why wait? Encourage your teen to step outside their comfort zone and try something new — or return to something familiar so they can develop a talent even further. They’ll return in the fall feeling refreshed, motivated, and ready to tackle the new school year.
