Camping

A camping trip is taken by both boys and girls floors on separate weeks. Students get the full outdoor experience setting up tents, cooking over a fire and telling stories into the wee hours of the morning.

College Visits

Visiting colleges takes place multiple times throughout the Summer Program. Students will get the opportunity to tour and learn about both two-year and four-year colleges to help them in their post-secondary planning.
