Summer Experiences

Summer Search offers students once in a lifetime summer experiences after both their Sophomore & Junior years. These are opportunities to have fun, build connections and grow in whatever ways excite you! 


 Sophomores typically attend an outdoor adventure which often includes hiking, lots of time connecting with peers and opportunities to gain leadership skills. 


Juniors are offered an array of experiences including service-learning abroad, leadership training, academic programs on college campuses, wilderness experiences, art workshops, and paid internships.

Kids that spend more time in nature are more focused, they are happier, they perform better academically
