Camp Akeela and Beyond Akeela return for their second year and have nearly doubled in size. Some of these campers have an ASD or Asperger’s diagnosis, a Non-Verbal Learning Disability (NLD or NVLD), or a related social communication disorder.

The College Horizons Scholars Program, a three-week summer program designed to empower Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian College Horizons alumni in their transition from high school to college, returns to campus for a second year. The program is hosted by Lawrence University with support from the Mellon Foundation and focuses on academic, co-curricular and campus life to help students acclimate to their first year of college.

Olympic silver medalist Jinelle Siergiej will also be returning with her Crazy Eights hockey camp for female athletes.

The Atlantic Brass Quintet Seminar, an annual residential immersive summer program established in 1993, endures as one of the most popular summer destinations for both student and professional brass players.
