Making the most of summer vacation

Posted on June 7, 2015 at 4:16 PM

Teens need a rest after the school year ends to re-charge their batteries. However, after a two-week break, students should be ready for a summer of activity that will enhance what they learned in school. Teens can expand their knowledge and skill over the summer with a combination of a few of the following experiences:

summer jobs
forming a teen book club and reading for pleasure
reading literature likely to be assigned during the next school year
a summer credit or non-credit class
a standardized test prep program
travel
mission trips
community volunteer activity
writing a summer journal or blog that can provide ideas for college essays later
visits to prospective colleges
searching for scholarships
volunteering to help with a local vacation bible school
shadowing a professional to experience a career field
participating in an internship to gain experience
planning the next school year in terms of academic and extracurricular goals
starting or continuing a portfolio in an area of skill such as art, writing, photography, acting, technology, science, voice or musical instruments
