6. Ideas for a Sensational Summer
Students are making the most of their summer break with a range of
interesting new activities and summer programs.
by Jim Paterson
aylor came home buzzing about her three-week stay at
Cow House Studios, a center for artists on a beautiful
farm in Wexford, Ireland. Her parents were pleased
that in high school she had an opportunity to explore
art through the unique summer program, tour various
spots in Ireland, and meet like-minded young people on
the working farm.
But a few weeks later, her parents saw a bigger payoff.
When Taylor and her family were making one of their regular visits to
a small seaside town in New England, Taylor began photographing and
interviewing the residents, mimicking the work of an advanced student
with whom she had worked.
“These are people she had no doubt encountered countless times over
the years, but now she decided to engage them in a way she never had
before,” says Frank Abruzzese, Cow House co-director. “When I heard this
I thought: ’that’s it.’ That’s what I had hoped we could give to our students.
If we can foster a deep curiosity for the world, I think we've done our
students a great service. Taylor can apply it to anything.”
Taylor’s experience is being matched throughout this country and
abroad in summer programs that offer a diverse mix of experiences.

offers “Hidden Lives,” which taps into the school’s world famous archive of
women’s historical documents, including recordings from Sylvia Plath and
Gloria Steinem and the journals of Clara Barton.
“I identified with these early 'pioneer' women,” says 16-year-
old participant Madeline. “Just like us, they joined clubs, went to dances,
and had dreams of becoming doctors and teachers. It's fun to see how
far we have advanced, and to see that I have some of the same dreams
and desires.”

10. Overnight
Summer
Programs
Overnight summer programs and camps provide inspiring environments packed with
self-discovery, friendship, adventure, and fun. At TeenLife, we believe that these summer
experiences are beneficial for both parents and teenagers alike. Whether the program is
academic, arts-oriented, all about sports and adventure, or community-service focused, parents
appreciate that their older children are keeping busy in safe, productive environments. And for
teens, a summer program that specifically suits their interests is the perfect way to spend part
of their summer break away from home—as well as help their transition to college.
There are thousands of national and international overnight programs hosted by schools,
colleges, camps, specialty organizations, and non-profits just for teens. TeenLife can help
you find the right one!
