Jobs for Teens
Of course working for money has obvious benefits, such as saving for upwardly spiraling college costs. Babysitting, working at restaurants and shops, and lifeguarding have been popular summer teen jobs for generations. This summer, however, the federal government has taken steps to help students get started in the federal workforce. The government’s Pathways Program offers federal internships for students at various levels, beginning at the high school level, and provides training and career development opportunities. Information on paid positions in federal agencies can be found at usajobs.gov. The Summer Youth Employment Program at the Library of Congress and a public affairs student intern position at the Department of Veterans Affairs recently were posted on the site. In addition, many area camps and clubs have summer job openings. For example, Beauvoir, the National Cathedral Elementary School, has jobs for counselor assistants, counselors in training (CITs), swim staff, lifeguards and aftercamp staff positions for high school and college students who are interested in working with young children. Log on to summer.beauvoirschool.org/working-at-camp for additional information. The Barrie Camp in Silver Spring hires students aged

Students should participate in summer activites that demonstrate active learning and engagement beyond the high school classroom in a field or area that highlights their passion and interests.” Looking ahead To College
Amy Ciccone, Director of College Counseling at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bethesda advises that students should participate in summer activities that demonstrate active learning and engagement beyond the high school classroom in a field or area that highlights their passion and interests—whether that be an internship, shadowing opportunity, volunteer experience, job, a course for credit or a preConTinues nexT page

college course. “It’s especially helpful if this activity aligns with a prospective major—for instance, Continued if a student is interested in the medical field, he/she could volunteer at a hospital, shadow a doctor, get an internship at NIH or take a course in molecular biology at the college level,” Ciccone said. Academic enrichment programs abound at Washington area schools and colleges, such as the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland. Summer Study Program has pre-college programs for high school students at four college campuses, including the University of Colorado and the Sorbonne in Paris. (See summerstudy.com.) Taking courses over the summer to obtain college credit or to beef up a high school transcript is no longer uncommon in this competitive climate. SAT/ACT prep courses and tutoring are also gaining popularity as summer activities for teens anxious about taking time away from their school-year studies, and increasing college admissions and scholarship success. Popular—but pricey—services include Prep Matters, Studypoint, Capital Educators and Kaplan Test Prep.

high school counselors and organizations like habitat for humanity also can assist students with tackling their student service learning hour requirements.” So You Want to Play College Sports?
Sports are an entrée into college for many area athletes. For the student hoping to play college sports, “they need to attend camps with a variety of college coaches from schools that they are interested in,” said Kathy Jenkins, head girls’ lacrosse coach at Alexandria’s St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes School, whose 600 career win record is unrivaled in the region. “In addition, the students need to work on developing their skills and try to play in a couple summer tournaments.” Jenkins has sent hundreds of players on to college lacrosse teams. Dwayne Bryant, director of athletics for Stone Ridge School and former Georgetown University basketball player, echoed this sentiment. “The reality is if a kid wants to play in college, he or she has to put in the time no matter what sport it is. He or she has to play three to four times a week for an hour or two a day to build the skills to compete at that level.” Noting that the college athletics recruitment process has changed a great deal since his high school days, Bryant said that “When [he] was growing up, it was all about getting into the gym and training. Now it’s about building skills specific to the sport being pursued.” One of Bryant’s daughters is playing soccer at Loyola University in Baltimore. His high school sophomore is ranked number ten overall in the country for soccer and number one for her position. She will play with her club team this summer at tournaments around the country in front of 200 to 300 college coaches. “These days college recruiting [for sports] starts sometimes in 7th or 8th grade, and there are no college rules against it.” Caroline Smith of North Bethesda followed this path.

Focus on Teens From sixth grade onward, Smith practiced with her lacrosse club team every summer and played tournaments each June and July. “The summer prior to junior year of high school is a big year for college recruiting,” Smith said. So she participated in a lacrosse camp last summer at Stanford University, and two other popular camps that are showcases for college coaches. Smith, who is in her junior year at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School already is committed to play at Stanford University. Three other talented Visitation classmates are committed to play lacrosse at Yale, Brown and Berkeley.

Service Learning
Some students use their summer break to complete their community service hour requirements. Horizons Greater Washington offers a six-week summer enrichment program designed to help a diverse population of children from low-income families to develop a lifelong interest in learning, advance academic gains over the summer, and improve achievement in school. Teen counselors are hired each year to work in the summer program, which is held at the Maret School, Norwood and St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School. “Many of our high school counselors started out in our program as a means for fulfilling their community service obligations but become completely hooked and continue to work throughout the school year in our Saturday program,” said Charis Keitelman, chair of the Maret Horizons Volunteer Council. “It is pretty competitive among high school students to become Horizons Assistant Teachers because we get many more applicants than spaces every year. Most repeat for other summers, and often will return from college to work at Horizons. It’s infectious working with these children.” High school counselors and organizations like Habitat for Humanity also can assist students with tackling their student service learning hour requirements.

But there seem to be few times in life that one has the luxury of such blocks of free time as school summer vacation. Why not learn to be a chef? Or a silversmith, potter or glass-blower? L’Academie de Cuisine offers summer classes for children and teens. The Bethesda cooking school offers week-long camps designed for children ages nine to 12 and teenagers from 13 to 17. This summer, the teen programs include a “tour of Italy” and French cooking techniques. Glen Echo Park’s offerings include dance, photography, ceramics, silversmithing and many other art media classes. The Writing Center’s summer screenwriting class will be held at Glen Echo Park as well. See glenechopark.org for more details. Why not pick up a new language? For example, the National Cathedral School is partnering with Middlebury Interactive Languages to offer two-week summer day academies in Spanish, Chinese and French for middle and high school students. Instruction is based on the renowned Middlebury immersion methodology. For more information, see mmla.middlebury.edu/summerday/overview.php Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education programs have gained popularity. The U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis has a summer STEM program in June for rising 8th to11th graders, allowing them to gain exposure to the number five “Best Undergraduate Engineering Program” in the country, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. See usna.edu/Admissions/stem.html for more information. ]

They have pursued internships at Walter Reed and taught physics and other subjects to inner city students. “Of course, paid work is great, but if you can’t find a paid job in this economy, or one that will keep a student’s interest, the student will be better served by doing something meaningful that really touches him or her,” she said. “Colleges are looking for that passion. They don’t want to see parents spending thousands of dollars to send their kids to China or Latin America to see poor people. They want that passion that really can be found in their own backyard.” n

Traditional summer camps have been a mainstay of children and teen summer memories for years. Nearby Barrie Camp, located on the 45-acre wooded campus of the Barrie School, has served children aged four to 14 since 1932. “In Maryland, it is the closest traditional camp to the nation’s capital,” said camp director Peter Vogdes. Minutes away from Washington, the Silver Spring camp offers on-site horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, acting and more. Campers who are 14 years old participate in Barrie’s CIT program where they spend half of their day in leadership training activities and service as a counselor-intraining. They learn skills while earning community service hours. “With our wide variety of activities and our perfect camp setting, where better to let summer be summer and kids be kids?” See barrie.org/barriecamp for more information. Other summer camps within a few hours of Washington include CampRimRockandCampAlleghany for girls in West Virginia, and Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer in North Carolina. If parents are overwhelmed by the choices available, services exist to help facilitate the decisionmaking process.

Camps
Adventure CAmps For some fortunate teens, summer is for travel. For example, Bold Earth Teen Adventures offers high school students summer camps of adventure travel, learning and leadership. Other well-known adventure travel programs include Overland, The Road Less Traveled, Rustic Pathways and Wilderness Adventures. Most of these combine travel experiences with community service, language immersion, adventure experiences and cultural appreciation.

Bethesda, Musical Theater Center in Rockville, Adventure Theatre’s Summer Music Theatre Camp at the Atlas Performing Arts Center in Northeast, Studio Theater in Northwest and Arena Stage in Southwest. Some students, however, pursue opportunities on the other side of “the pond.” Ms. Sherion Cosby, a teacher at Westland Middle School in Bethesda, sparked a love of all things Shakespeare for Amaya Murphy of Chevy Chase when Murphy was a Westland eighth grader. Now a freshman at Savannah College of Art and Design pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts, she spent her high school summer breaks participating in theater programs. One such experience at the British American Drama Academy (BADA) the summer before her senior year “absolutely cemented her decision to pursue a career in acting and broadened her perspective regarding the talent that exists out there,” said her mother Arantza Murphy. Amaya was able to audition here in Washington for the BADA slot, which also gave her valuable experience for college performing arts admissions auditions.
