What is the Mini-Courses Summer Exploration Camp?
The Mini-Courses Summer Exploration Camp is a two-week academic enrichment program that reinforces middle school students’ reading, writing, math, and science skills. The two week camp includes a reading and writing component one week, and a math and science component the other week. The enrichment program serves students who are rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and requires students to have a 2.0 core grade point average.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Summer Exploration Camp will now be offered as a virtual program.
All activities and lessons will take place online. The daily timeline will be flexible so that students can participate when it is convenient for them. The Mini-Courses Summer Exploration Camp is scheduled to take place Monday-Friday, July 20-July 31, 2020
If your student does not have access to a computer and/or access to the internet, Mini-Courses is able to provide this support for the Summer Exploration Camp dates.
