Hey Laker Nation! What are you doing this summer? Consider spending time exploring a career interest by attending a summer program offered by a college.

Many universities offer camps, courses, and programs designed for high school students. Programs vary in terms of intensity, cost, length and location. Colleges will host their summer programs on campus or virtually. We are including the links to many college programs offered throughout the US. Please note that there are many other colleges that offer Pre-College Summer programs not included in the list. You can do an internet search to find other programs as well.

While we encourage you to explore your options for summer experiences, and we help by collecting information for you, we cannot endorse any of the programs below. Many of these programs have early deadlines and fill up quickly. Scholarships are often available. This list is a work in progress as many schools add new offerings all the time!

Please also note that because many of these programs are "pay to play" type experiences, it most times does not give a student an advantage when it comes to admission into the college. These are great opportunities to explore career interests, make connections, and experience a glimpse of college life. Spending your summer working or volunteering can also be an incredible way to build your resume and life experience.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Noelle Essig, College and Career Counselor at West Bloomfield High School.

In June, Blue Lake will open its doors on a new season as the first campers arrive, meet their counselors, and pick out their bunks. They will reluctantly—or enthusiastically—say good-bye to their parents and go about the business of adjusting to a new experience, thriving in a creative environment, making new friends, and having fun at camp.

After fifty-six years, Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp still provides a unique experience for its campers. Blue Lake’s impact on shaping young lives is defined by our past students and the thousands of dedicated counselors, staff, and faculty who have served Blue Lake since its inception. Our original mission to inspire young artists to achieve their potential has not wavered since our first day of camp in 1966. Now more than ever, the constant distraction of cell phones and social media pulls us away from focusing on the three dimensional presence of our lives. Blue Lake offers a much needed break for students to look up, get inspired, and discover their potential as individuals and artists.

We are pleased to continue our traditions in 2023 and look forward to meeting Blue Lake’s future alumni this summer.

Curriculum

The summer schedule includes two intensive studio classes selected from the list below. These hands-on classes provide exploration of the diversity of disciplines available at Pratt. Each class is taught by Pratt faculty or alumni using state-of-the-art equipment, studio spaces, and classrooms across campus. Courses provide an introduction to Pratt’s undergraduate curriculum and equip students with elective college credits which are accepted at most colleges and universities.

Important Note: Commuter students are highly encouraged to attend all studio hours sessions or anticipate spending an equal amount of time completing homework at home. Some assignment require special tools that cannot be accessed outside of the scheduled studio times on the evening and weekends and cannot be completed at home.

The Courses

All PreCollege students are automatically enrolled in two classes. Students take two of the following 2-credit elective studio courses:

Architecture
Reimagine the structures in which we live and work. Develop solutions to a series of architectural problems through hands-on work; producing sketches, drafting plans, and building models. Students will gain familiarity with architectural concepts and build skills in drafting, sketching, and model making. (Students taking architecture will also be enrolled in an architecture foundation course and cannot take a second concentration.)

Comic Book / Sequential Art
Explore the art of pictorial storytelling; combining images and text to create visual narratives for single panel illustrations, comic strips/books, and graphic novels. Investigate all aspects of this art form: from drawing techniques, lettering, and inking, to composition, perspective, panel sequences, and developing original stories. The skills acquired provide a foundation for creative processes such as: children’s book illustration, storyboards for film and television production, and animation.

Creative Writing
Craft compelling written compositions. Focus on the fundamentals of creative writing while developing writing skills in one or more genres or styles (poetry, essay, fiction, writing for theatre, film, or magazines). Students will examine written language, voice, and the composing process through reading /writing assignments, critical reviews, and peer review/critique.

Digital Arts: 2D Animation
Create both hand-crafted and digital approaches to the art of animation. From early optical toys, through drawing frame by frame on paper, to creating digitally composited layers of movement for a fully realized project with sound and color. Daily exercises range from traditional character animation to more experimental techniques, allowing students to foster their own vision. (Students taking animation will also be enrolled in a drawing foundation course and cannot take a second concentration.)

Digital Arts: Art and Technology
Create multi-sensory art with hardware electronics and software code. Students will learn the basics of using sensors to gather data from the physical world, coding programs on a micro-controller board, and controlling motors that make objects move. The focus will be on creating physical, interactive art objects that possess visual, kinetic, and sonic qualities. No previous experience with electronics or coding is required.

Fashion Design
Discover the trans-disciplinary nature of fashion design. From sketching and illustration to crafting and creating, students will experiment with designers’ techniques and build basic skills in collection development. Students will learn about draping, patterning, and hand sewing in Pratt’s cutting edge fashion studio.

Film/Video
Explore the aesthetic and craft of filmmaking through hands-on projects. Using digital video, students will produce short film projects designed to develop both technical competencies, and an appreciation of the power and creative potential of the moving image. Cameras and editing equipment will be provided.

Fine Arts: Painting and Drawing
Translate the three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional surface. Develop perceptual and aesthetic awareness and improve technical skills through the creation of fine art. Students will use different drawing and painting techniques, media, and subject matter to create a body of work with an emphasis on developing an effective studio practice and producing works to include in a competitive portfolio.

Fine Arts: Sculpture
Delve into a variety of processes and materials in the making of 3-D sculpture. Various forms of sculpture and 3-D art techniques will be explored. Contemporary sculpture and artists will be introduced as they relate to the projects and processes learned. Students will come away with a greater knowledge of contemporary sculpture and the ability to create unique works of their own.

Foundation Art
Strengthen fundamental creative skills in a traditional studio art class focused on color, shape, line, movement, and other formal concepts of art and design. Modeled after Pratt’s first-year curriculum, this course will expand the student’s thinking, strengthen portfolios, and provide a basis for further study in any creative field.

Graphic Design
Explore what makes a design successful, and investigate the role of design in meeting the demands of an ever-changing society. Learn design tools, principles, and methods to produce unique and memorable graphic work. Typography, photography, and illustration are incorporated in visualizing your ideas along with the introduction and application of computer graphics.

Illustration: Digital
Render images utilizing a variety of software and explore the limits of digital media. This course explores ways to tell a story by creating digital images that communicate new ideas for editorial and commercial purposes. Students will develop technical and artistic skills in drawing while experimenting with scanning, digital photography, and using photo editing software. Students will be expected to produce finished, professional-level digital work.

Illustration: Traditional

Students develop technical and artistic skills in drawing and painting for use in the commercial world; enhancing illustration skills through life studies, experimentation with a variety of media, and by cultivating their imagination. Students will be expected to produce finished, professional-level work.

Industrial Design
Create the objects that people use everyday. This concentration course examines how embracing today’s social, physical, and ecological needs presents opportunities for creative design. Through drawing and model making, students explore, challenge, and redefine the forms and objects with which we live.

Interior Design
Optimize the space in which we live. This concentration course centers on the impact of the interior space on the individual, as well as various groups, by working with the classic elements of light, color, form, and space. Projects include drafting, rendering, and model-making.

Jewelry / Metal Arts
Push the boundaries of form and function. This course is an introduction to basic, direct metal, fabrication techniques for metal objects and wearable art pieces. Students will research and develop design concepts and execute finished pieces using non-ferrous metals combined with alternative materials and current technology.

Photography: Analog

ADVANCED PROGRAM ONLINE:

Program Description

Founded in 1877, Rhode Island School of Design (or “RIZ-dee” for the acronym RISD) is one of the oldest and best-known colleges of art and design in the country.

RISD’s Advanced Program Online is a series of intensive, collegiate-level courses for students in grades 10–12* (or the equivalent) who are 15–18 years old. This immersive online experience is designed for those interested in pursuing art and design in college and want to learn best practices in developing their work.

The role of artists and designers is, and has always been, to comment and reflect on cultural changes, but also to anticipate and inspire changes to come. Current world conditions have brought renewed emphasis on the critical role artists and designers play during times of complexity and uncertainty.

We call on creative young people to access a more ‘flexible mindset’—applying art and design methods to chart new territories of creation and problem solving. Under these circumstances, you’re given permission to shake up the ‘traditional’ ways of making, encourage full-blown experimentation and fresh, forward thinking that leads to real innovation.

* For the summer term students who are rising sophomores (grade 10 or the equivalent) or have graduated from high school this year are eligible to attend.

Experience Jewish Learning and Community at Brandeis!

Connect with other motivated teens from around the globe, learn with Brandeis faculty and staff and explore the Brandeis campus during a life-changing summer of learning, and experiential programming with a vibrant Jewish community of friends. This summer, Genesis will offer a three-week residential program that emphasizes Jewish culture, community and identity. You’ll have the opportunity to take one of two courses:

• Rivalry, Redemption and Renewal: Relationships in the Bible
  • What do the stories of ancient biblical figures like Jacob and Esau, Abraham and Sarah and Ruth and Naomi have to teach us about how we interact with our families, friends and wider community? In this engaging course, you’ll explore the complex web of interpersonal relationships found in our most sacred texts and discover the lessons we can learn from their triumphs and tragedies. If you love to dig deeply into Jewish text and are fascinated by how our Biblical ancestors did (and did not) relate to each other, this course is for you.

• Justice Brandeis, Bread and Roses and Beyond: American Social Movements and the Jews
  • Louis Brandeis, our University’s namesake, was the first American Jew to serve as a Supreme Court Justice and played a pivotal role in shaping American legal and social policy. Following in his footsteps, American Jews have served as leaders and community organizers in many of America’s most significant social movements, from the Labor Movement to Civil Rights and beyond. This thought-provoking course will explore the legacy of Justice Brandeis and how the American Jewish community’s engagement in the struggle for equality and freedom continues to influence American life today.

With the help of dedicated community educators and teaching assistants, you’ll explore the unique assets of Brandeis University – its world-class institutes and centers that focus on Jewish learning – while deepening your understanding of Judaism through spiritual practice, mini-courses, community-building activities, social action opportunities, guest workshops and much more.

Explore new perspectives; develop and strengthen your voice; pursue your interests within a dynamic community; and discover how Jewish wisdom, study and practice can inform the way you work towards a more just world. You’ll make lifelong friends, connect with amazing Jewish thought leaders, and experience life on the extraordinary Brandeis campus.

Online Courses

Affordable and Accessible

The Brandeis Precollege Online Program offers courses, designed for high school students ages 13 and up. Each course features engaging videos by Brandeis faculty and access to mentors. The program is available year-round, and the online format lets you study anywhere, anytime at your own pace.

Course topics include:

• Climate Change: Inside the Science and Advocacy
• Civil Litigation: Go Behind the Scenes of a Lawsuit
• Women's Health: Biology and Wellness
• Global Health: When the World Gets Sick

While Brandeis University’s Undergraduate Admissions does not favor those who participate in Brandeis Precollege programs in its admissions decisions, it does consider all extracurricular and summertime activities in students’ applications – including academically challenging programs like our Precollege programs, paid employment, internships, volunteerism and more.

https://www.purdue.edu/mep/Pre-College-Programs/MITE.html

The Multiethnic Introduction to Engineering (MITE) program was initiated at Purdue University in the summer of 1975. Originally a two-week program, MITE is now a five-week college simulation program modeled after the Freshman Engineering Academic Boot Camp. MITE attendees are immersed in First-Year Engineering projects.

The program includes:

• SAT review
• Engineering design
• Math and Chemistry
• Time management
• Social acclimatization to college life

Student participants build a strong sense of community and are able to return to their high schools with a better evaluation of their potential. We have seen an average improvement of SAT math scores of 90 points. The highest increase was 180 points as measured through pre- and post-testing. All participants apply to Purdue at the close of the program.

UNIVERSITY COLLABORATION

MITE participants learn about all STEM disciplines during the five weeks. For one week, students participate in the Seminar for Top Engineering Prospects (STEP). Collaboration with the Science Bound Program and diversity directors in STEM have resulted in several MITE participants matriculating in to the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, science as well as engineering majors.

Ross Mathematics Program

The application window for the 2023 Ross Mathematics Program is now open.

Begin your application by visiting https://apply.rossprogram.org/

For full consideration, completed applications must be submitted before the end of March. The Ross Admissions Committee will begin reading applications on April 1, and admission decisions will be made later that month.

The 2023 Ross/USA Program will have in-person, six-week, residential sessions at two locations:

at Otterbein University in Columbus; Ohio:
June 11 (Sun) through July 21, 2023.

at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana:
June 18 (Sun) through July 28, 2023.

In addition, Renascentia Hall International is expected to run Ross/Asia for a five-week in-person residential program at the University of the Philippines Diliman in Manila. Both Ross/USA and Ross/Asia have a common application that will be posted here on January 2, 2023.

The hope is to accommodate 50 first-year students at each site.

Introduction

The Ross Program is an intensive summer experience designed to encourage motivated pre-college students to explore mathematics. During those weeks, students are immersed in a world of mathematical discovery.

Dr. Arnold Ross founded this multi-level program at Notre Dame University in 1957. Its growth was then spurred by the launch of the Sputnik satellite and the subsequent surge of interest in science education. Arnold Ross’s Program has run every summer since then, associated mostly with Ohio State University from 1964 through 2018. In 2019, the Program moved to Ohio Dominican University. In 2020 and 2021 the Ross Program was entirely online, but in-person sessions resumed in 2022 at Ohio Dominican University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.

Our central goal has always been to instruct bright young students in the art of mathematical thinking and to inspire them to discover for themselves that abstract ideas are valuable and important. First year participants take the basic course in number theory. For most students, this is the first time they are asked to consider entirely new questions, to develop methods that they have not seen before, and to justify every answer.

The value of a mathematics education lies not only in obtaining proficiency in computational tasks, but also in building a foundation for critical thinking. Students who have never asked why things work the way they do are not prepared to lead the way to future scientific innovation. It is precisely this independence of thought and questioning attitude that the Ross Program strives to nurture.

Eligibility

Ambitious pre-college students with interests in mathematics and science are invited to apply. First-year students range in age from 15 to 18 years old. (In rare cases, younger or older students are accepted.) Admission decisions are based on several criteria, including: school transcripts; teacher recommendations; essays concerning the applicant’s interests and goals; and the applicant’s work on some challenging math problems.

Undergraduate math majors and math graduate students are invited to apply to be a Ross Counselor.

NOTE. The Ross Program cannot accommodate students who must arrive more than two days after the start of classes.

Costs and Financial Aid

Each Ross student is asked to pay a program fee of $6000. Those funds are used to pay for six weeks of room and board, to hire instructors and counselors, and to cover incidental costs of developing and running math courses.

NOTE: Financial aid is certainly available. Accepted applicants are encouraged to apply for aid if their families have some financial need. We hope to provide enough support to enable every accepted applicant to attend this great Program.

To Apply

The Ross Program application is posted on the to apply page. For full consideration, completed applications must be submitted by March 31. The Ross Admissions Committee begins reading the application on April 1.
Acceptance decisions will be made later in April, and the process will be completed by May.

The Ross Program admits students of any race, color, gender, and national or ethnic origin.

On-Campus Sessions 2023

Sessions are hosted on both St. John’s campus locations, in Annapolis, MD and Santa Fe, NM, and online. Scroll through our ten different sessions happening June–August 2023.

Santa Fe

BEGINNINGS: INQUIRING INTO THE ORIGINS OF POLITICS, POETRY, AND MATHEMATICS

July 9–15 | What are the origins of human society, language, and knowledge? Through classical works of history, philosophy, religion, mathematics, and poetry, we will explore the idea of the beginning.

BEGINNINGS SESSION

TECHNOLOGY & TRANSCENDENCE: SCIENTIFIC AMBITION AND THE HUMAN CONDITION

July 16–22 | Should there be limits to the pursuit of technology? We’ll read texts, study films, and perform astronomical observation, pivoting on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (subtitled “the modern Prometheus”), and culminating in Ridley Scott’s masterpiece, Blade Runner.

TECHNOLOGY & TRASCENDENCE SESSION

ART & NATURE: INTERSECTION OF IMAGINATION AND INGENUITY

July 23–29 | What are the true powers of art? Does art “imitate nature”, as Aristotle claimed, or, at its peak, does it express forms of life, creativity, and individual expression that transcend the world as given to us by nature? We shall explore these questions directly in the seminar, and indirectly through careful reflection on works of poetry, painting, and photography.

ART & NATURE SESSION

Annapolis

SIGHT & INSIGHT: SEEING AND KNOWING IN LITERATURE, PHILOSOPHY, AND GEOMETRY

June 25–July 1 | We say “I see,” when we mean, “I know, I understand.” How much is knowing like seeing? What can we know merely by looking? What does it mean to have true insight beyond the visible world? And what do the wise fail to see even when they try their utmost? We will explore these questions through readings and elementary theorems in geometry.

SIGHT & INSIGHT SESSION

JUSTICE, NATURE, & LAW: FROM THE POLITICS OF SOCIETY TO THE RULES OF THE NATURAL WORLD

July 2–8 | In what sense does nature have laws? In what sense can human laws be by nature? We will read Sophocles’ Antigone and Plato’s Republic to think about the relationship of nature and justice to the laws of the city. We will also read Pascal’s treatises on pressure to consider force and counterforce in nature and the lawful relationship between them.

JUSTICE, NATURE, & LAW SESSION

HIDDEN POWERS: UNCOVERING FORCES IN SHAKESPEARE, POETRY, AND PHYSICS

July 9–15 | What forces are apparent to all, and what active forces are hidden from us? How do we bring them to light and understand them in speech? Should we try to control them or explore them? There are hidden forces in nature, politics, and the soul. We will explore them through readings and in the laboratory.

HIDDEN POWERS SESSION

Online Sessions 2023

PLATO’S DIALOGUES: EXCERPTS FROM THE MENO, THE APOLOGY, AND THE REPUBLIC
