Pre-college
summer programs and camps are offered throughout the country, often through
Universities to provide high school students with experiences in
science, mathematics, technology, engineering, or healthcare. In addition to the list
below, be sure to check your local
university to see what programs they may have planned for the summer.
Students and parents
should find out many details about a camp before deciding to attend.
Factors such as the size of the camp, number of weeks, amount of
hands-on activities, housing, student/teacher ratio, available credit,
and of course costs should enter into your decision.
The following is a sampling of the hundreds of available programs.
We are not recommending these programs, but offering a starting point
for you to conduct your own research about whether a camp is right for
you. If
you know of a program not listed, please let us
know!
