該夏令營項目由美國探索學校自1977年開始舉辦，迄今已有40多年歷史。美國探索學校是一家非營利性組織，1976年成立，創始人是Ann和Arnie Singal。

探索學校的暑期項目由豐富的課程、活動、旅行等組成，營造了一個獨特的、安全的、學習的環境。營員來自全美國40多個州以及全世界超過65個國家，在這里可以結交新朋友，發現自己的特殊興趣愛好以及能力，度過一個好玩有趣的假期。

那些聰明、有求知欲的年輕人聚集到一起，參加這里1-3周的活動，營員年齡在7-17歲之間。

探索學校的項目鼓勵營員嘗試新領域，找到自己在什么領域有特殊的熱情。

探索學校的暑期項目全部集中在三個學校開展，位于紐黑文的耶魯大學(9-11年級在讀)、位于波士頓的衛斯理學院(7-8年級在讀)、波士頓惠頓學院(3-6年級在讀)，除了三周的綜合營以外，還有三周的英語學習營，兩周的專業營，以及單周的迷你營。

下面介紹耶魯大學的綜合營，為9-11年級（15-17歲）學生開設。

【特別說明】：

該項目不是為了獲得學分或者考試分數的學校課程，而是希望讓學生們忽略評價體系和考核分數，更加關注自己的興趣和熱情所在。項目適合那些對這三周營地三周生活能夠持有足夠的熱情，喜歡忙碌的、充實的日程安排，充分參與到活動中的學生。

項目缺點，比其它同類項目更貴一些；第二期中國學生較多。

另外，國際學生需要面試，如果面試通過，入營后還將進行再次考核，項目方認為英文水平不足以應付所選課程的（比如寫作、辯論等英文應用比較多并且高的課程），將為學生調整到其他英文應用程度不高的課程中，或者在家長同意的情況下轉去ESL課程班級（額外收費500美元），所以這個不確定性需要申請者能夠接受。

【學生和家長評論】：

Julia's 8 years at camp were, without adoubt, life-changing. The open and accepting atmosphere that the camp marketingmaterials promote is real. After many efforts to find summer activities for herthat all fell flat, camp delivered everything it promised and more. Year afteryear, we have watched Julia grow as a person. She developed a broad andinclusive world view through her interactions with kids from many places andwith many perspectives and life experiences.

My daughter grew leaps and bounds in selfconfidence. She ventured beyond her comfort level to experience new andexciting things. Moreover, she did a little forward thinking which enabled herto learn things about herself that she was unaware of and encouraged her to notto limit herself.

I've always felt that there's somethingreally magical about camp. There are very few scenarios that I can think ofwhere it is possible to walk up to a random person and start a conversationwithout any awkwardness. Not only is this possible at camp, in a way, it isexpected; everyone wants to meet as many people as they can. The kids who makethe conscious decision to attend camp are the type of people who will inventthe next Facebook, put humans on Mars, or become the leader of their country.Not only are these people intellectually curious and motivated, they have theinterpersonal skills to work with a group and accomplish a task. As much as Iloved my classes, what has stuck with me more than anything are the greatfriendships I made at camp. Having the opportunity to meet people from all overthe world also really amazed me. For the first time, I was meeting people fromthese "far away places" I had learned about in school.

Thank you so much for providing a safe andcomfortable environment in which to explore and try new things. I know Jamesbenefits greatly from this program, and we are grateful.

6 years, 11 sessions, a million memories. Thisprogram changed who I am.

Camp has been the highlight of Shannon'slife. It has opened up a window to the world for her that quite possibly savedher sanity ... if not her life. Not everyone is cut out for small towns, smallschools or small ideas and Shannon NEEDED something like camp so that she couldsee the light at the end of the tunnel, that there is something else out therefor her. I think the camp has taught her to not be afraid; afraid of beingalone, afraid of being far from home, afraid to meet new people but mostimportantly to afraid of getting stuck in place.

I cannot say enough positive things aboutthis amazing program! I have recommended it to everyone I know. My youngerdaughters are interested in attending as well. It really gives high schoolstudents a true taste of college, with just enough supervision and parametersso that they stay safe and are not overwhelmed. We are looking forward to nextsummer!

This was my son Yared's second summer at camp.Each time he has stepped off the return plane from Boston, not only can he notstop talking about his summer at Explo, but he can't stop talking aboutreturning the next summer (still). This means so much to me, especially as asingle working parent, to know deep-down that my child is safe and exactlywhere he is at his best and happiest for three weeks whole weeks. This summer,in particular, Yared returned home with a new strong sense of how to take careof himself (without my having to say so) and of showing care and concern forothers. Living with and negotiating a space with a roommate has also been afantastic area of growth for him. And not only did he come home with a stronginterest in his chosen subjects—he participated in Model U.N. this summer andnow can't wait to participate in high school—but new interests, as well: Nextyear Yared wants to study medicine. His interest in and pursuit of studyingMandarin is a direct result of his living with roommates from China bothsummers. How fantastic is that! As a parent I couldn't be happier—or feelluckier. Thank you!

The experience offered at camp is anexponentially valuable experience. What a gift to expose kids to many differentpeople from many different geographical areas and gaining the benefit of beingexposed to different cultures, attitudes, religions and thought processeswithout having had to travel worldwide. The opportunity to engage with oneanother in an environment of their peers without the influence of their parentsallows them to come together based solely on mutual respect and interest whichis not colored by biases, world issues, or conflict.

Thank you for providing my daughter withanother amazing summer experience. The amount she learned and experienced in a3 week period of time is unreal. I cannot say enough about how great I thinkthis program is, for promoting responsibility and self dependence, learning newthings and skills, experiencing life from the eyes of friends from othercountries, and for all around having a lot of fun! Thank you.

It was a lot of fun for Ryan and he camehome happy which is gold to me. He also formed very intense friendships, moreso than at school, probably bc they just have more time together and morerelaxed. It is sort of like the college experience where bc of living,eatingtogether, strong friendships are formed.

We are SO GRATEFUL for the scholarshipFelicia received this year. She would not have been able to attend without it. Thisprogram has been the most significant educational experience of her life, shesays, and has nothing but incredible, warm memories of all three years inattendance. She would be a tremendous marketing ambassador for the program, ifyou need her. She truly loves it, and I love seeing her so happy. We are very,very thankful for all you have done for us.

You all did a fantastic job, Hannah stayedfor many evening events and took advantage of the field trips and overnight aswell. She made great friends from the Boston area and overseas as well. It wasa whirlwind and she loved every minute of it. She cannot wait to attend Wellesleynext year. You and your staff went above and beyond our expectations and mindyou we came from a private day camp as well. Thank you to all.

Ortho was everything that my daughter hadhoped for and MORE! To say that she had an incredible experience is anunderstatement. She has always been interested in orthopedics, but now she iseven more motivated, determined, and passionate about pursuing a career in thisfield. Thank you for inspiring my daughter!

I was very emotional when I came to pick upmy child. It was amazing to observe every child around her giving her a hug andsinging. My child felt love at the camp. I truly like it and appreciate thecamp and the staff even more.

Mamoun attended English camp at Wellesleyand has come back to us as a changed boy. In addition to impressively improvinghis English, he is so much more mature, independent, and confident. Usuallyprone to homesickness, he only spoke to us three times during his entire stayand when we came to pick him up by the end of the session, he was crying as hedidn't want to leave his friends. Thank you! Thanks to the amazing staff,Mamoun will definitely come back.

I attended the program over 20 years ago,and I am thrilled to see how the program has evolved. And my daughter justloved it — this year even more than last.

She loved all aspects of it. She told menumerous times that the staff were super nice. She loved meeting new friendsfrom all over the world. She loved the independence and still talks aboutwishing to be back at camp!

I can't say enough good things about theprogram. This was the second year my daughter attended, and her first timeboarding (both sessions), even though we only reside about 30 minutes away. Thestaff and the curriculum are amazing(!) and provide a great opportunity to theparticipants for personal and intellectual growth. My daughter had a wonderfultime and met students from many places around the world. She is counting thedays until she returns next summer and is already planning to participate in yourprogram at Yale and Wellesley. Keep up the good work!
