Participants may choose from more than forty exciting programs, and stay in the residence halls or commute. The Pre-College High School workshops give students a sampling of different career possibilities in order to discover their abilities and talents, and explore the career paths that best fit them. The Middle School Workshops are geared to students entering grades six to eight in September 2013, who may register for any middle school workshop. Workshops are designed to stimulate pre-teen and teen imaginations and creativity. Students can gain insight on a particular subject, and have the opportunity to develop friendships. The Summer Life on Campus Program is a unique summer day camp for students entering grades six to nine in September 2013. A typical week includes well-supervised enrichment and academic workshops, indoor and outdoor activities using the University facilities, and a weekly field trip. This is an ideal program for working parents who prefer to place their child in a safe, well-managed environment where both academic and recreational activities are offered. The program is scheduled to run Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from July 1 to August 9. Lunch is included.
