A COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

High school students get the opportunity to feel like college students as they live in college dorms for the 2-week summer camp. Students eat in the cafeteria, they got out to dinner as a group, we make sure to see a movie, and we go the museums in New York and they work on projects as a team presenting medical cases to the class.
