Academic overnight camps for middle schoolers located at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, VA
Our proximity to Washington, D.C., is integral to how we teach and approach our programs. We take a global worldview and incorporate experiential learning and real-life examples of ethics, leadership and the arts at work in our capital, and weave them throughout all of our programs.
Campers who attend the Washington Summer Youth Experience are here to create, test, impact, and explore. Campers choose one of our programs known as Institutes, to discover news passions and potential career paths while gaining life-long memories in the world's most dynamic city. Each Institute's program culminates in a grand presentation for family, friends and the larger community.
