您的投资将使“夏季搜索者”成为具有批判意识的领导者和蓬勃发展的成年人。
Summer Search offers students once in a lifetime summer experiences after both their sophomore and junior years of high school. These are opportunities to have fun, build connection and grow in whatever way excites you.
Sophomores typically attend an outdoor adventure which often includes hiking, lots of time connecting with peers and opportunities to gain leadership skills.
Juniors are offered an array of experiences including service-learning abroad, academic programs on college campuses, hybrid leadership development program and a few paid internships for a limited number of students.

Sophomore Experiences & Resources
We’re excited to have you join Summer Search and offer you a Summer Experience! As a Summer Searcher, you receive a scholarship to participate in a meaningful and explorative summer experience. This scholarship covers the cost of the program, most equipment, and transportation.
Your Sophomore Summer Experience is typically a 1 – 4 week outdoor adventure in California or another state. We partner with a select few incredible organizations that allow Summer Searchers to connect and bond with others, explore identity in a safe space, and challenge themselves as much as they’d like.
We believe that through a Summer Experience you’ll have the opportunity to:
-
Try something new & get a little out of your comfort zone
-
Apply your strengths in new ways
-
Connect with others & form new friendships
-
Discover more about what you’re capable of
-
Focus on yourself and explore who you want to become
Although some Summer Searchers feel a little unsure going into their Summer Experience, many return saying it was a transformative experience they enjoyed, they learned a lot that they’ll bring into other parts of their lives, and would recommend to others.

Our Summer Experiences offer a variety of activities including hiking, rafting, and rock climbing. Most experiences include a backpacking component that varies in rigor and some may include another activity or two.
If you’re curious and want to learn more about some of the activities you might do, click through the links below!
Backpacking
When you’re backpacking, you’ll have everything you need to survive and camp in the outdoors all in a backpack. This includes your food, tent, sleeping bag and clothes. This bag can weigh close to 40 pounds, and you’ll carry this with you as you hike through the mountains or forest. Your trip leaders will teach you how to safely navigate through the terrain, use a map and compass, find & set-up camp, and how to cook in the outdoors. You’ll do many of these activities as a group and work together to share the load and navigate through your trip. It sounds hard, but students say it’s one of the most rewarding and empowering parts of their Summer Experience.
Kayaking
Kayaking is a watersport that involves a kayak and paddle – and that’s it! You will mostly like be in a tandem (or two-person) kayak, so you’ll have the support of another person to paddle. It takes some arm and upper body strength to paddle, but you’ll get the hang of it quickly and learn a few tricks to make it easier. All of our kayaking trips will be led by trained guides who will teach you everything you need to know to kayak safely and effectively. You’ll also wear a personal flotation device (PFDs) or life vest when you’re on the water.
Rafting
Rafting or white water rafting is also a water sport where you’re in an inflatable raft with 6-8 people paddling down a river with rapids. As you’re moving down the river, some portions will be calm and give you an opportunity to play games with your raft mates. Other sections will have rapids where the water is moving faster and rougher, and you’ll work together as a team to navigate through it. All white water rafting portions are guided and led by trained professionals, so your experience will be safe and fun. You will also be required to wear a helmet and personal floatation device (PFDs) while rafting.
Rock Climbing
Some of our experiences will include top-rope style of climbing. Top-roping is a style of climbing where you wear a harness and a rope is attached it and the top of the wall. As you climb, another person will be holding the other end of the rope (the belayer) who will make sure the rope catches you if you slip or need a rest. All rock climbing adventures are facilitated by professional guides who will teach you the basics, such as how to tie climbing knots, belay someone with a rope, and how to rappel (or descend) down after you reached the top.
