DS16 and soon to be a junior in high school. He has had a great summer so far and only has a few weeks left. We took a short vacation during which we visited one university. Very useful even though we decided it isn't good fit he is now inspired to look at more schools. DS spend 4 weeks at wilderness camp and LOVED it, he just got back and really wishes he wasn't home. During a break in camp his grandparents took him to a Shakespeare festival that he loved, said the plays were the best he's even seen.

Now he is home for a week without any specific plans but he is already working hard on his AP Bio summer homework (without any prompting) and practicing for band camp. The he has two weeks of Marching Band Camp and then fall semester starts.
