Program Events
Group outings to Harvard Square, Faneuil Hall, and the theater.
Movie nights and karaoke in the dorms. Soccer at Nickerson Field
and Ultimate Frisbee on the Esplanade.
These are just a few examples of what students may participate
in during the summer here in Boston. Program events help orient
you to the city of Boston and help you get to know the other students
in the program. And they're fun! Take a look at the schedules
of events from last summer - they'll give an idea of how you can
expect to spend your time while on campus.
Also, we offer workshops entitled College 101. These workshops
will focus on helping you with the college admission process along
with how to succeed when you get to college. Admission Staff from
Boston University along with Program Assistants will conduct the
workshops.
Note: To help build a community among the Summer
Challenge students, participation is mandatory for all planned
activities. Students will have an opportunity to explore outside
activities - such as practicing their musical instrument, touring
Fenway Park, or shopping on Newbury Street - during scheduled
free time.
Sample Schedule of Summer Challenge Events from 2007
Events listed are mandatory group activities. Optional and impromptu
events planned by the program assistants and staff will also take
place throughout the summer.
