Summer Courses and Camps

List of 6 items.

• Attendance for Academic Courses

  Full attendance is necessary for the successful completion of a Summer Programs academic course.  Particularly for the three-week courses, students are expected to attend class everyday.  Please avoid signing up for classes on dates that may conflict with vacations and other summer camps.
  
  For credit-earning and advancement courses for current students, the Summer Program classes follow the school's attendance expectation that students may not miss more than 10% of classes (which would be 2 days of the June session).

• Cost

  Costs reflected here are from Summer 2026. Please check back in early 2027 for updated information for this summer.
  
  For current students and incoming freshmen, the cost is $700 for most credit-earning and advancement courses. It's $350 for three week prep courses. A few exceptions are noted in the specific course descriptions.
  
  

  Most athletic and co-curricular camps are $140 or $175 per week, but there are a few programs with different costs.  All costs and any discounted costs are reflected in the Campsite registration portal.  For example, one week of a sports camp is $140, but if the student registers for two or more qualifying athletic or co-curricular camps, there is a 10% discount that is automatically applied in the Campsite registration system.  Please see the specific camp descriptions and Campsite registration options for specific associated costs.
  
  

  Payment in full is due with registration materials for all courses and camps except our travel credit-earning courses. These are Theology: On Holy Ground, Great Ecosystems, African Studies, and Great Topics: Native American History.
