Ahhh….Summer!

One of my IECA colleagues, Jill Tipograph is the CEO and Founder of Everything Summer. She has some great advice for parents and teens, so check it out here. I would like to add that it is not too late to make summer plans for your teen! Activities or academics or adventures are a real positive in most teen lives and enhance maturity, leadership, and social skills. So here is a list of possible things to get involved in this summer.
If you don’t want to leave home, look at local colleges and universities for high school student camps or activities. For instance:

SMU A-LEC Workshops for Academic Skills

SMU Meadows Summer Art Academy

Dallas Theater Center programs and workshops

Check out Cooper Fitness, the Y, the JCC, or summer school options at your own high school.

Spend the summer prepping for the ACT or SAT: a few choices are on my blogroll, or links:
Christopher Cook
Lynn Magid at Academic Adventures at lynn@dfwprivateschools.com
The Waterton Group

How about a REAL adventure? Prices would be low right now for open spots:

Broadreach

Academic Treks

The Road Less Traveled

There are so so many options! Check them all out and have a wonderful and productive summer.
