Summer Enrichment Programs

Each year we receive information about summer programs for students.  Sometimes these programs are local camps, sometimes they are lengthy opportunities specific to a particular area of career interest, and other times it provides college experiences to allow students the chance to explore a campus and community.  We have been placing them on the WKHS Counselor website for you to be able to reference.  Please be aware that there is a wide range of costs for the different programs and so it is essential that you look closely to determine if it is worth the money.  (There is an article at the bottom that points out that expensive programs may not be worth it.)  Students often ask if the programs run by a college will give you an advantage when it comes to admissions at that school, and unfortunately it does not, so that should not be your sole reason to participate in a program.

Expensive Summer Programs May Not Be Worth It
