I had a lot of fun at the Dartmouth campus, and it was super fun going canoeing and exploring Hanover. The classes were great too.

The great teachers made the learning experience wonderful and as for the college experience aspect my RC did a great job supporting me along the way. Dan, the head of my program, did a great job organizing afternoon activities to make sure no one was left out and create cohesiveness. Overall I was very pleased with my experience and look forward to completing another Summer Discovery activity in the future.

My daughter did the Medical Academy at Berkeley. Ms. Mary Anne, the director, was the absolute best. From the moment we dropped our kiddos off she was there to answer any questions and quell any fears that any of us parents had. My daughter had the time of her life. There was the perfect mixture of academics and fun for them. I love that they gave the kids some independence, but with guidance and strict rules. My daughter has really blossomed as a result of this program. I would recommend Summer Discovery to anyone. It is a great program.

My son attended the 3 week summer business program at UCLA. He met a bunch of friends and had a great experience. He’s a senior in high school now and looking forward to being in the dorms next year. He loved the total experience from day trips to hanging on campus to hearing to guest speakers. Having him fly to California by himself, meet the group and fellow students, meet his roommate and find his way around campus was an invaluable lesson.

The staff were great and knowledgeable. I leanred a lot of basic finanice and business from them. It made me want to go into finance even more. I also learned a lot about application process and the requirments, which will help me a lot in application period. The overall experience of the campus and classes were memorable.
