about our mini-courses

Each Wednesday, students attend two mini-courses, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, each for two hours. They attend the same two mini-courses each Wednesday for the entire three-week session.

Mini-courses cover many of the topics offered during course periods as well as more recreational options. Most mini-courses are open to both divisions, however, some mini-courses are specific to Pioneers or Voyagers. Students who come for the full summer take different mini-courses during their second session.
