Experiential Learning

Guided by your mentor, Summer Searchers are awarded two experiential learning scholarships where you’ll participate in challenging and empowering opportunities for growth and connection. Get ready to depart your comfort zone AND have all the fun!

After your sophomore year in high school, most Summer Searchers head outdoors and experience a hiking/backpacking adventure you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Your second summer ranges from outdoor expeditions to cultural and service trips or academic or career-related programs.
