Ideas for a Sensational Summer Students are making the most of their summer break with a range of interesting new activities and summer programs.

aylor came home buzzing about her three-week stay at Cow House Studios, a center for artists on a beautiful farm in Wexford, Ireland. Her parents were pleased that in high school she had an opportunity to explore art through the unique summer program, tour various spots in Ireland, and meet like-minded young people on the working farm.

But a few weeks later, her parents saw a bigger payoff.

When Taylor and her family were making one of their regular visits to a small seaside town in New England, Taylor began photographing and interviewing the residents, mimicking the work of an advanced student with whom she had worked.

“These are people she had no doubt encountered countless times over the years, but now she decided to engage them in a way she never had before,” says Frank Abruzzese, Cow House co-director. “When I heard this I thought: ’that’s it.’ That’s what I had hoped we could give to our students. If we can foster a deep curiosity for the world, I think we've done our students a great service. Taylor can apply it to anything.”

Taylor’s experience is being matched throughout this country and abroad in summer programs that offer a diverse mix of experiences.

“I think there is a shift from the days that students went to the Adiron-dacks or just spent time at a college,” says Sara Crowther Craig, director of non-degree programs at Smith College. “Now there is so much more.”

For instance, Smith has broadened its summer offerings for high school students to include a well-regarded four-week Summer Science and Engineering Program and an in-depth sustainability program. It also offers “Hidden Lives,” which taps into the school’s world famous archive of women’s historical documents, including recordings from Sylvia Plath and Gloria Steinem and the journals of Clara Barton.

“I identified with these early 'pioneer' women,” says 16-year- old participant Madeline. “Just like us, they joined clubs, went to dances, and had dreams of becoming doctors and teachers. It's fun to see how far we have advanced, and to see that I have some of the same dreams and desires.”

“There are more options for teens for specialized types of trips,” says Kathryn Trotzuk, founder and director for STRIVE, which offers community service trips abroad for student ath-letes. “Although teens can enjoy a camp or travel experience, now they can combine a passion with a camp, travel, or service program.”

STRIVE provides trips primarily to Kenya or Peru, where athletes work out together each morning and afternoon, and spend from 35-50 hours per week building and supporting orphanages and schools.

ideas for a sensational summer


summer ColleGe PreP

Some students attending summer programs are interested in a more practical experience, but one that is still unique.

“Students are looking for something that gives them the edge in the college admissions process,” says Halley Shefler, founder of ArtsBridge, a program that helps students interested in the performing arts hone their skills and prepare for second-ary education training. “There was always summer school, but now there are sessions where they learn to write an essay for a particular school or prepare for testing."

Binh Huynh, director of Summer College at Syracuse University, says students are looking for specific college courses and targeted support in the college prep process— and they can find it.

New programs are offered in music production and small business development, where students split their time between traditional business coursework and cutting edge material about using technology in new start-up businesses. The school offers courses in more than 30 different topics.

Students attending Savannah College of Art and Design can earn up to 25 hours of credit from summer programs, according to Katrine J. Trantham, senior director of enrollment events and programs. “This is extremely high compared to other college summer programs, but that is the trend.”

“We focus on advanced academics in a college setting,” says Amanda Foster, assistant director for the Division of Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement at Texas Tech. The school has a unique program called “Science: It’s a Girl Thing” to encourage young women to pursue careers in the STEM fields: science, technology, engineering, and math.

At Brown University, the pre-college program has grown quickly “as serious students continue to prioritize preparation for traditional college-level academics,” says James Chansky, director of the school’s Summer Session and Pre-College Program. But students also want brief, in-depth experiences in specific areas for a short time “focused on introductions to an area or unique topics—and in unique ways.”

Sarah McDowell participated in the University of Delaware Summer College for two years to earn seven college credits and get a glimpse of dorm life.

“What she came away with was much more,” says Mary Lou McDowell, her mother. “Her first year was life changing. She became more focused on her future and driven to suc-ceed. In five weeks she made friends who may last a lifetime and found greater confidence and maturity. She began mak-ing better choices and assuming more responsibility. The second year, that continued. She will tell you that it was the best experience of her life.”

“My daughter was struck by how this program was unique because it was for student athletes,” says Marina Jacobson, a parent. “She knew she was going to try out for varsity soccer upon her return and was happy that she could improve her fitness over the summer while traveling abroad, having fun, and helping others.”

Will Isenberg had a similar experience in Kenya, where the cross country star for St. Anthony’s High School in Huntington, NY, put the $4,000 he raised for the trip to work building a classroom and buying books for an elementary

school, while training with some of the best runners in the country, well-known for its own cross country stars.

Ingenium Academy, based in London, offers students a chance to study music and participate in a student orchestra while they travel in a different country. “It is becoming more important for summer programs to stand out from the crowd and offer unique opportunities to their students who will then in due course stand out from the crowd,” says Rebecca Hawley, director. “Inge-nium offers an “exciting combination of living, rehears-ing, and performing together—the ultimate exercise in teambuilding, music making, and building life-long friendships.“

Other programs offer similar opportunities:

• At the Savannah College of Art and Design, students can take new workshops this year in art, quilting, and knitting, adding to the 29 workshops the school now has in topics ranging from Photo-shop for Gamers to Acting for the Camera.

• The ArtsBridge summer program offers aspiring singers, dancers, and actors specialized guidance about the admissions process for prestigious

performing arts schools, while helping them perfect their performances. Famous performing artists are among the instructors.

• The Appel Farms Art Camp in southern New Jersey offers students interested in performing arts an opportunity to explore classical, rock, and jazz instrumental programs and traditional vocal instruction, along with a new singer- songwriting track and recording arts program. The school promotes the use of new social media tools and new technology.

Summer abroad programs throughout the world are offered by Aspire, which involves students in language and cultural immersion, including a program in which students can learn the art of travel writing and blogging, according to Courtney Link, director.

“One of our students had a positive, life-changing experience that we wish would occur with all of them. The following fall, she signed up for the International Club, enrolled in an extra year of Spanish class, and decided that she wants to study international relations in college. That is the sort of thing a program like this can do.” •

Jim Paterson has been a writer and editor for 25 years. He also is the head of the counseling department at Argyle Middle School in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Overnight summer programs and camps provide inspiring environments packed with self-discovery, friendship, adventure, and fun. At TeenLife, we believe that these summer experiences are beneficial for both parents and teenagers alike. Whether the program is academic, arts-oriented, all about sports and adventure, or community-service focused, parents appreciate that their older children are keeping busy in safe, productive environments. And for teens, a summer program that specifically suits their interests is the perfect way to spend part of their summer break away from home—as well as help their transition to college.

There are thousands of national and international overnight programs hosted by schools, colleges, camps, specialty organizations, and non-profits just for teens. TeenLife can help you find the right one!

Seven Questions Parents Should Ask When Choosing a Camp or Program

s summer vacation gets closer, many parents—in fact, parents of more than 10 million children—make the decision to send their children to summer camp. While some families have already decided

on a camp, others are still exploring their options. For these families, it can be difficult to choose—especially when the diversity of camps today reflects the diversity of America. There is truly a camp for every interest and every budget. The American Camp Association® (ACA) recommends that parents ask the following questions to get a better feel for which camp experience best suits their teen:

1. What is the camp's philosophy and program emphasis? Each camp has its own method of constructing programs based on its philosophy. Does it complement your family’s philosophy? Does the camp focus on learning through competition, or through cooperative learning?

2. What is the camp director's background? ACA recommends directors possess a bachelor's degree, have completed in-service training within the past three years, and have at least sixteen weeks of camp administrative experience before assuming the responsibilities of director.

3. What training do counselors receive? At a minimum, camp staff should be trained in safety regulations, emergency procedures and communication, behavior management techniques, child abuse prevention, appropriate staff and camper behavior, and specific procedures for supervision.

4. How are behavioral and disciplinary problems handled? This is where the director's philosophy comes through loud and clear. Do they use positive reinforcement? What are the rules and consequences?

5. How does the camp handle special needs? For a teen with special requirements, parents should ask the camp director about needed provisions and facilities. Is there a nurse on staff? A designated place to store insulin or allergy medicine? Are special foods avail-able for campers with restricted diets? Every question is important.

6. What about references? Parents shouldn’t be afraid to ask for references. This is generally one of the best ways to check a camp's reputation and service record.

7. Is the camp accredited by the American Camp Association? Why? Why not? ACA-Accredited® camps meet up to 300 health and safety standards. This does not guarantee a risk-free environment, but it's some of the best evidence parents have of a camp's commitment to a safe and nurturing environment.

Look for these ACA-Accredited® camps in our guide:

Appel Farm Arts Camp, Camp Friendship, Camp Nashoba North,

and Roaring Brook Camp for Boys are all ACA-Accredited® camps.

ABOUT ACAThe American Camp Association® (ACA) works to preserve, promote, and enhance the camp experi-ence for children and adults.

ACA-Accredited® camp programs ensure that children are provided with a diversity of educational and developmentally challenging learning opportunities. There are over 2,400 ACA-accredited camps that meet up to 300 health and safety standards. For more information, visit www.ACAcamps.org.

What was the most memorable part of your experience?

The most memorable part of my experience was our bioluminescent splash. In the oceans there are billions upon billions of tiny, microscopic plankton floating in the water, some of which have a very unique protection method that consists of glowing. When disturbed, they give off an underwater lightening bug effect. After a short late-night lesson on the biological workings of this phenomenal process, my crew and I grabbed our snorkel masks, shut off all of the boat lights and jumped in. The scene that unfolded was breathtaking. As my arms and my legs moved, the plankton seemed to shoot from my fingers like sparks. The fact that such simple living organisms could produce such mesmerizing lights was awe-inspiring.

What did you learn by attending this summer program?

My experience with Sail Caribbean taught me the value of adventure. I learned that working hard and getting a few blisters on my palms from hauling in lines was absolutely worth the feeling that you get when the sails fill with air and your island destination comes into view.

I also learned that persistence pays off in the end; that the risk of taking on a challenge is always worth its outcome; and most of all, the importance of family values. Living on a boat with twelve other people is full of ups and downs, but the bonds you form and the memories you make are unforgettable. If you trust and respect the people around you, you will always have a strong support team.

Educationally, I gained a deeper understanding of how damaging pollution really is to our surroundings. Because of this experience, I changed the way I live my day-to-day life.

student Profile

In Her Own Words

What exactly were you looking for in your summer experience?

With academic expectations high and the need for community service weighing on my mind, I decided to search for a program that would not only offer me an outstanding summer, but also offer me school credits. Sailing and motor boating were always a big part of my family’s summer, so I knew a program with Sail Caribbean would be perfect.

Tell me a little bit about the program you participated in with Sail Caribbean.

I participated in their summer Foxtrot Program. Ten teens, including me, and two crewmembers lived on a boat for 21 days. We learned to sail and scuba dive, while studying marine science and eco-preservation.

What did you do at your summer program?

The better question would be: what didn’t I do? Swimming in crystal blue water, turtle tagging, sea grass studies, and daily marine biology became my way of life for a rewarding three weeks! Additionally, we worked with a local Youth Empowerment Program, teaching children how to preserve and care for their environment.

By the end of my trip, I had gained my advanced scuba diving certification, helped my crew tag three turtles, completed 28 hours of community service, and most of all, learned how to sail a large catamaran sail boat.

I gained a deeper understanding of how damaging pollution really is to our surroundings. Because of this experience, I changed the way I live my day-to-day life.”

Jack tyler anderSonis a 17-year-old International Baccalaureate High School Student and People to People Ambassador from Winter Park, FL.

Student profile

In His Own Words

When did you become involved in the People to People Ambassador Programs?I became involved with People to People when my fifth grade teacher nominated me to travel with the organization back in 2005. Ever since, I have spent my summers traveling abroad. I have visited 9 different countries, in addition to the various Leadership Sum-mits I have attended with People to People.

What is the mission of People to People Ambassador Programs?People to People Ambassador Programs’ have a long-standing commitment to improving the future of the world through global education and understanding. For nearly 50 years, young Ambassadors have fulfilled the vision of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, author of the People to People movement, by developing friendships across international borders. Eisenhower believed that “peaceful relations between nations require mutual respect between individuals.”

What has had the biggest impact on you traveling with People to People?The bonds that I formed with other delegates have been truly everlasting. I still keep regular correspondence with many of the people I have met along the way. Just this afternoon, I was chat-ting with a girl from an Ohio delegation that I met on top of the Eiffel Tower two years ago, and yesterday I Skyped with a friend from Guam I met this summer at the International Diplomacy Conference.

Do you have a favorite People to People moment?I have two.

Standing in the middle of the Auschwitz death camp, the place where so many innocent people lost their lives. That moment epitomized what People to People’s mission of "peace through understanding" really means—and what that mission could have prevented.

Another stand-out was last summer. I was able to meet and make friends with students from 13 countries at the 2011 Sum-mit on International Diplomacy, based in Washington, D.C. and New York. I engaged in debates and discussions with other stu-dents about global economics; explored the U.S. Capitol; visited the UN headquarters and participated in a model UN.

How have your experiences influenced your aspirations?My many experiences with People to People have managed to shape my life in so many positive ways. After spending the last 6 years of my life as a People to People Ambassador, I can honestly say that I have developed a passion for diplomacy and a deep global understanding of other cultures and societies. People to People has left a heavy mark on my aspirations beyond high school, cultivating my interest in the international com-munity and inspiring me to pursue a career as an officer in the United States Navy.

Do you have any final thoughts?

I have two more years of high school, and a world of opportuni-ties available to me through People to People programs. I intend to use them! I encourage all students with a passion for change to explore these types of opportunities. Eye opening doesn't even come close to describing the experiences I've had with People to People.

I encourage all students with a passion for

change to explore these types of opportunities.”
