Each summer Alfred University welcomes high school students to our campus to participate in exciting academic institutes in astronomy, creative writing, computers, engineering, chemistry, entrepreneurship,robotics, theater, and art portfolio preparation. We also offer equestrian, swim, football and lacrosse camps. Our beautiful, safe campus, located in western New York State, is the perfect place to experience learning and living in a collegiate setting. Students can explore fascinating subjects, meet others from all over the country with similar interests and levels of academic or athletic ability and have lots of fun. Classes, taught by distinguished faculty members, are kept small to allow for individualized attention and optimal use of equipment. Students also enjoy recreational activities, stay in modern residence halls and have meals in the University dining hall. Living and learning together, these students get to know each other well and often develop life-long friendships.

This summer, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute offers students the chance to take academic short courses reflecting the ground-breaking research being conducted in our state-of-the-art facilities. Enrichment Programs and Sports Camps allow today's youth, and tomorrow's leaders, to explore and begin to develop their passions and interests. Each program will be individually priced. Contact us for additional information such as full program descriptions, application/registration forms, and costs.

360° Student Travel by Westcoast Connection allows you to step in a new direction. Travel, volunteer, improve your foreign language skills or get a taste of the college life. Regardless of travel style, all of our programs are created with the understanding that no matter what you want to accomplish during the summer, it is still summer, and the challenges and experiences should be enjoyable as well as rewarding. By moving outside of their comfort zone, 360° trip members experience different cultures and new adventures that encourage self-development, group bonding, and an unparalleled sense of discovery.
360° Student Travel offers 7 program types on 6 continents in 19 countries – Active Teen Tours, Community Service, Language Programs, Pre-College Enrichment, Global Adventures and ON TOUR for 11th and 12th Grade Completing Students in Australia, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador/Galapagos, Europe (England, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland), Fiji, Israel, New Zealand, Peru, South Africa, Thailand and the United States (including Alaska & Hawaii).

From our first trip exploring the western USA and Canada, we could never have imagined how many thousands of teens would come to share in our spirited groups and travel with us on 7 program types in 6 continents throughout 19 countries .

30 years ago, Westcoast Connection / 360° Student Travel began with a modest goal of using exciting, memorable travel to teach and inspire teenagers and to enhance their understanding of themselves along the way. Our philosophy of “EACH & EVERY” is the cornerstone of our programs; “EACH” focuses on respecting the individual, looking for what makes each student unique and avoiding a one size fits all approach while “EVERY” reminds us that no matter how incredible a site like Bryce Canyon or Machu Picchu might be, the experience would fall below expectations unless we created tightly knit groups where everybody is included in an enriching program. With amazing sights, activities, accommodations and restaurants, there's no doubt that Westcoast Connection will show you the "perfectly planned, perfectly paced" summer of a lifetime.
