Middle & Upper School Experience . ... .. .. grades 5-12

With our Middle and Upper School Experience format, participants may select a morning enrichment session of their choice and choose to stay for our afternoon experience, The Swarm (see below). We also have several full day opportunities for both Middle and Upper School students scattered throughout our eight-week Summer Program, that will allow students to experience service learning, adventure, and team building.

Our age-appropriate offerings are similar to the Seven Hills’ School experience — hands-on, engaging, and creative. The Summer Program offers a full spectrum of activities for rising fifth graders through 12th graders to enjoy.
