Many 'summer camp' books feature sports and/or musical camps, which is useful to many teens. But, this book has none of those. The programs listed in this book focus on unique experiences that will broaden your teen's scope of the world.
- Resource contains useful, organized information.
- Tells you what to ask when checking into summer programs.
- Gives you information on financial aid, if available.
- If you want recommendations instead of choices, this book may not be for you.
- Full of exciting and rewarding programs that any teen would love to do.
- 500 different programs ranging from private lessons to exploring various areas around the world.
- Lists the description, plus focus of each program, what the activities center on and much more.
- No sports or musical camps listed as these are easy to come by in local areas or by other resources.
There is no greater missed opportunity than a summer that is just “okay.” Research hundreds of travel, study, work, or volunteer programs–whatever suits you best! Plus, learn how to parlay a great summer experience into a great college application.
Would you rather spend your summer:
- Mountaineering in Colorado
- Researching loggerhead turtles
- Learning Nepali in Kathmandu
- Working with a nuclear reactor?
Also included: many academic-year and winter intersession programs – for students with more available time.
For each program we explain how intensive it is, how much it will cost, what you can expect to learn, and all the other important details, like location and duration. These fun and exciting programs are just what you need to make your summers both enjoyable and enriching.
Denise's Thoughts:
The most important chapter is the chapter on how to use this book which will give you guidance through the vast amounts of information. I suggest you read this section first and then allow your teen to have at the program profiles. After you and your teen have narrowed down the program choices, then make sure you read the chapters ‘Being a Good Participant’ and ‘Paying for It’.
Exceptional resource book to place in your parenting library.
