Student Resources

Welcome to the Great Books Summer Program. We invite you to come in and look around to see how Great Books could be a part of your summer. If you are interested in literature, debate, discussing ideas and having fun with other like-minded people then this is the camp for you.

While at Great Books you will have the opportunity to;

• Work with college professors and top educators.
• Take part in an art elective: visual art, creative writing, music or theater. You can choose a different elective each week that you are with the program.
• Be a part of a "pod" - a group of 6 - 8 students who read and spend time together in serious pursuit of fun!
• Experience life on a college campus. You will live in the dorms, eat in the cafeteria, learn in lecture halls, and become familiar with these iconic institutions.
• Meet a Guest Speaker - each week we host a visit by a guest author, poet or other literary luminary. You will have a chance to hear them speak, ask questions and even meet them afterward.
• Take part in a very diverse learning community. Last summer we welcomed students from 43 states and 23 countries.
• Make friends and have fun!

We look forward to seeing you at Amherst, Stanford or Oxford this summer.
