What, When, and Where is the Six-Week Summer Program?

From late May to mid July, 60 to 75 of the hardest working Upward Bound students are chosen to attend our intensive six-week program. Students live in the Southern Utah University

campus dorms and attend academic classes from 8 am to 12:30 pm, Monday through Friday (see a typical schedule below). Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors can actually take

university courses and, better yet, receive university credit. Each afternoon, students volunteer for up to two hours a day at a local business and obtain valuable experience and

insight into potential future career choices. We will provide ample time for study, as well as study skills workshops to improve academic techniques. There will also be recreation and

exercise opportunities daily, and occasional guest speakers during the evenings.

After such a rigorous academic week, we change gears on Saturday and go on an all-day field trip. We may hike, swim, bike, rapell, or raft. We want the students to participate in

many fun and different group building activities. On Sunday we do not plan activities so students may relax and, if they wish, attend the church of their choice . For those students who

do attend, we will provide transportation to and from the church.

The sixth, and final, week of the Summer Program is our 'Urban Experience'.

What is the Urban Experience?

For many, the urban experience is the favorite part of the six-week Summer Program. We spend our last 5-6 days of the six weeks in an urban (or big city) setting , where we can

experience all the educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities a metropolitan area has to offer. We stay at the dorms of a big university and may vist concerts, zoos,

restaurants, and/or museums. The last few summers the SUU Upward Bound students visited San Diego or Santa Barbara. Highlights of these trips included visits to Sea World,

Magic Mountain, San Diego Wild Animal Park, Santa Barbara Botanical Garden, and swimming in the ocean (of course!).
