Eaglebrook Summer Semester Blends Academic Enrichment, Outdoor Adventure
For nearly three decades, the Eaglebrook Summer Semester program has combined a fun and engaging array of academic enrichment activities with a heavy dose of outdoor adventure for boys and girls aged 10-13.
This summer, 110 students from 11 countries and 8 U.S. states participated in the four-week session, which is designed to build confidence through achievement and to foster leadership skills in the classroom, on the playing field, and within the community.
A total of 11 different academic classes were offered in English, math, history, and science. Students also participated in 38 electives as follows:
- Athletics: Fitness and conditioning, outdoor and indoor team games, and pickleball
- Performing Arts: Public speaking; theater, acting, and performance; singing-solo workshop; and summer chorus
- Science: Robotics
- Studio Arts: Painting and drawing, origami, 3D design, two-dimensional art, woodworking, video editing, and stone carving
- General Electives: Strategy Games (classic board games), relax and read, baking essentials, and campus adventures (which included an up-close introduction to the school’s many summer construction projects)
A total of 38 faculty guided the summer semester students, and the ratio of students to faculty was 3:1.
Summer semester students also engaged in a variety of off-campus adventures, taking advantage of the wild, rural beauty of western Massachusetts. Day trips included mountain hikes, a guided whitewater rafting trip down the Deerfield River, and a trip to the Six Flags Amusement Park.
Enrollment for Summer Semester 2025 begins on November 1. For more information, go to: https://www.eaglebrook.org/summer/summer-semester.
