Our flagship publication, offered for the third year in a row, now contains nearly 400 descriptions of about summer programs in and around Boston that include or are specifically geared to middle and high school students (age 13-17 or entering Grades 7 to College).
No other publication covers as many camps, clinics, workshops and classes in over 20 categories, offered by colleges, schools, private companies, and non-profits. Session lengths range from a few days to several weeks long, making it easy to combine one of these programs with a job or vacation.
Categories include Academic, Adventure, Art, Music, Theater, Counselor-in-Training, Leadership and a wide variety of Sports and Special Interests. Programs are listed alphabetically within each category, so that you can easily compare and contrast offerings of a similar nature. Each profile includes contact information, dates, fees and a short description. The Guide‘s extensive index section allows you to look up programs by host organization, location, start date, and age.

Advisory Services
TeenLife Boston does not provide advisory services for summer program placement. However, several types of services exist that can help. If you have used such a service before and can provide a recommendation, please email mailto:info@teenlifeboston.com
Fee-Based Advisors meet with the student and recommend programs that fit the students’ interests and abilities. This is a highly personalized service, usually offered on a flat fee basis, that is often linked to college advice.
Summer Program Referral Services also provide advice, but it usually handled over the phone. Instead of charging parents, these services receive a “placement fee” by the programs they recommend, so it is important to work with a service that represents a wide range of programs. It is important to note that these services do not usually handle programs that cost less than $3000.
