Be BOLD with the best pre-college summer programs.

Make Your Summer a BOLD Summer!

WE HAVE TWO INCREDIBLE SUMMER MEDICAL PROGRAMS TO OFFER YOUR STEM STUDENTS FOR SUMMER 2021 – DON’T LET THEM MISS OUT ON THIS OPPORTUNITY!

As universities continue to close for the summer, more of the in-person summer programs are closing too, and top notch opportunities for older high school students to do something exciting and challenging in their summer are disappearing.

At BOLD Summers, we continue to partner with two incredible hospitals in Philadelphia, PA, - Penn Medicine and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), to provide two of the most esteemed summer medical programs for rising 11th and 12th graders. 

Both Penn Med and CHOP have been planning for their virtual summer programs since November last year, knowing this would be the case, and have developed an exciting curriculum/schedule for each of their programs. We promise that it's going to feel like you are right there on-site!

If you have STEM students who are thinking of doing something in the medical field or would benefit from the experience – in general medicine, or in pediatric medicine, then please consider suggesting either of these opportunities to them. Both programs have limited spots available and are accepting applications until midnight, April 30th.

  The Theatre School at DePaul’s Virtual Summer High School Training Program



The Summer High School Training Program is a non-college credit program that prepares rising 11th and 12th grade students for the college audition and interview process, all while building life-long connections with one of the top theatre conservatories in the nation. For three weeks (June 26-July 18, 2021), students will study one of six concentrations from the comforts of home - acting, comedy arts, directing, design, playwriting, or stage management/theatre technology. Operating on a virtual platform for the second year in a row allows us to offer a more accessible, affordable program for students who may not have been able to travel to Chicago this summer.

I kindly ask that you please encourage your interested students to apply now. The priority submission deadline is May 1, 2021 (please contact us to if an application extension is needed). To learn more information about this program and our newly offered one-week remote session, check out our website. Please contact us with any questions at tts.summer@depaul.edu or (773) 325-7933.

Partnerships with local farms and urban food  production entities, as well as landscaping and ornamental  plant operations, are some additional opportunities for  project-based learning. 

“In this program, students will  gain knowledge in the effects  of food crops and ornamental  plants on water use and quality,  

how horticulture affects climate  change, and how to reduce  negative impacts.”  

- Dr. Charles MacVean, Dean, Kinsley School of Engineering, Sciences and TechnologyOUTCOMES

John Carroll University
JCU Campus
Spring has arrived, and summer is just around the corner! We're hoping you can spread the word to your students that the John Carroll University Young Writers Workshop (YWW), a week-long summer camp at John Carroll University, is now accepting applications. Both day and residential options are available, so students from anywhere can experience and learn inspiring and rigorous creative writing. This year's workshop takes place from July 19 to July 23, 2021. Here's a video about our program. For more information about the JCU YWW, please visit sites.jcu.edu/yww. To apply to the program, please visit sites.jcu.edu/yww/the-program/how-to-apply

If you're wondering about the student experience, read how 2017 YWW alum and now JCU student, Julia Kashuba, enjoyed her time with YWW:

I attended the Youth Writers Workshop in the summer of 2017 as an incoming high school senior. I grew so much as a writer since then, and the program definitely sparked a new understanding of writing in me. It helped me to reach depths that I hadn't reached before and to learn many new tactics regarding both poetry and prose. As a current JCU student, I can easily say that the YWW was what made me realize that John Carroll is the right place for me, and will be my home for the next chapter of my life. The YWW opened up so many opportunities for me, including making connections with the faculty and staff, receiving a scholarship for my writing, and currently being enrolled in a training course to become a JCU Writing Center consultant! I still keep in touch with some of the people I met during the workshop, and I see a couple of them around campus all the time. At the YWW, you will meeting people that will inspire you to follow your passions, you will feel a new connection with John Carroll's beautiful and serene campus, and you will be able to work on yourself as a writer and creative soul!
 
In 2021, we are presently considering offering both online and in-person options, with a possible overnight option. Students are able to let us know their preference on the application form!
