[quote=Anonymous]I think a couple weeks of a camp she's interested in + a job would be ideal. If she's finding things outside your budget than she needs to put $$ toward it. If that won't work for this summer, then make that the motivation to get a job this summer to save her contribution to what she wants to do. FWIW, both my kids did a 1-week pre-college program the summer after sophomore year. That was good timing for them, already had an idea of what they might want to study, gave them a glimpse into life on a college campus before the rigors of junior year. If you are in Virginia, she should look into the Governor's Residential Summer program. Those are free but it's a pretty rigorous application process. It might already be too late for this year and I don't know that a freshman would be very competitive anyway but something to work toward for a later year. https://doe.virginia.gov/instruction/governors_school_programs/summer_residential/index.shtml [/quote]
