It is important that all students utilize their summer by remaining academically active, researching opportunities to broaden their educational experiences, and challenging themselves.  There are a myriad of summer programs available to high school students.  

Take a look at the following links:  

•   Summer Residential Programs in New York
•   Teen Ink Magazine - Summer Programs
  
•   Enrichment Alley - Summer & Gap Year Programs
  
•   Fast Web - Summer Programs for High School Students

Other opportunities may exist in your community:

• Volunteer Work and Community Service
  
• Prep for Standardized Testing
  
• Employment
  

Still looking for idea?  Take a look at this powerpoint Using Your Summers. 

Remember:
If the Volunteer Work & Community Service Volunteer work, camps, or paid employment is highly related to academics, include the information on your Summer Accomplishments Form. This information should be turned in with the student's College Recommendation Information Form before returning to school.
