Summer Enrichment Program - University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA)

Students who are currently enrolled in grades 4 - 10 may apply to attend a two-week session in our program where curriculum emphasis will be on extending a student's capabilities in problem-solving, creativity and critical examination and evaluation of content rich fields of study. Areas that are new or of special interest to students will be investigated through hands-on simulations, demonstrations, lectures, discussion and/or individual or small group investigations. The 9th - 11th grade program will also emphasize the acquisition and practice of research skills within advanced topic areas.

I am former camper who attended SEP for grades 5-11. I am now a high school teacher who hopes that her students can get as much out of this life-changing program as she did!

My son went to the program for the first time in the Summer of 2009 and absolutely loved it! It was his first time away from home for 12 days, but the program kept him excited and going for the whole time. He will definitely be going back next year.

I went to the second section in 2009 and I absolutely loved it! It was my first year there and I was crying on my way home because I wanted to stay at S.E.P. all year.

I went all 7 years possible. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I'm so upset that I can't go back this summer!

I have gone to this Summer Enrichment Program for 4 years and have applied this year, again. I highly reccomend sending your son or daughter to this camp because I made a bunch of friends I still keep in contact with and the environment of "you can do it!" really helps the students expand their knowledge.

I went to this program last year in between 6th and 7th grade. I enjoyed my time and classes there. My peers were great people and we could have real deep coversations. I participated in the literature portion, which was my favorite class. Though the counselers and leaders of the program did treat us like we were 5! I recomend it to people who are looking for more to learn, but without the feeling of being in a school :0)
