Colleges want to know how students spend their summers
Reach out for opportunities you can't experience in school

Why Choose To Study or Travel?

Increase self-confidence by spending a summer on your own in a challenging environment   Gain insights that will help you better understand yourself and the world around you   Enhance your college application, and in some cases earn college credit   Develop leadership skills in programs that give each participant a turn at the helm   Experience firsthand some of the many topics you will be learning about later - such as speaking Spanish in Barcelona or studying rainforests in Costa Rica   Improve self-reliance by taking on physical challenges   Broaden your horizons by making life-long friends from other areas and backgrounds   Acquire a global perspective that only comes from traveling   Enjoy an in-depth experience in an area that excites you   Earn the satisfaction of working with a team to complete a meaningful service project
