Summer Programs

In addition to jobs, summer classes, travel, and other common summer activities, I sometimes get asked about summer programs at colleges that can help high school students explore interests and grow. These are completely optional and are in no way a required part of putting together a strong college application.

Parents should be cautious of the formation that their son or daughter will be receiving when sending them off to a camp or program. Always do your homework to make sure the content is not questionable and the cost is not exorbitant.
