SUMMER EXPERIENCE

We’re so excited to offer you a Summer Experience! As a Summer Searcher you receive a scholarship to participate in a meaningful and explorative summer experience. This scholarship covers the cost of the program, most equipment, and transportation. 

Your Sophomore Summer Experience is typically a 1 - 4 week outdoor adventure in California or another state. We partner with a select few incredible organizations that allow Summer Searchers to connect and bond with others, explore identity in a safe space, and challenge themselves as much as they’d like.

We believe that through a Summer Experience you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Try something new & get a little out of your comfort zone

  • Apply your strengths in new ways

  • Connect with others & form new friendships

  • Discover more about what you’re capable of

  • Focus on yourself and explore who you want to become

Although some Summer Searchers feel a little unsure going into their Summer Experience, many return saying it was a transformative experience they enjoyed, they learned a lot that they’ll bring into other parts of their lives, and would recommend to others.

WHAT SUMMER SEARCHERS HAve TO SAY ABOUT THEIR SUMMER EXPERIENCE:

The greatest success was not getting homesick and being able to open myself to new things and experiences. I was able to put aside my fears and worries and enjoy the time during my trip. In addition, I was also more self confident and was able to be myself the whole time during the trip.
