UCLA summer camps for high school students?

I'm looking for some cool summer experiences to boost my resume before applying to college, and I'm interested in what UCLA has to offer. Do they have summer camps specifically tailored for high school students, like academic or sports programs? Any personal experiences are welcome!

UCLA offers several summer programs tailored for high school students, including both academic and sports camps. Here are a few examples:

1. UCLA Summer Sessions: Pre-college Summer Institutes allow high school students to experience college life and take classes in various subjects, such as science, filmmaking, and writing. These programs usually range from 2-6 weeks and can earn you college credit! Students have the opportunity to stay on campus and experience the day-to-day life of a college student. Just keep in mind that the cost for these can be quite high as you are earning credit.

2. UCLA UniCamp: This is a student-run, non-profit organization that focuses on leadership development and mentoring for high school students from under-resourced communities. UniCamp allows students to participate in a week-long camp where they can learn valuable life skills and collaborate with peers in a fun outdoor setting.

3. Athletic Camps: UCLA offers numerous sports camps for high school students, covering a wide variety of sports such as basketball, soccer, swimming, and more. These camps provide the opportunity to work with experienced coaches, improve your skills, and get a taste of what it's like to be a student-athlete at UCLA.

4. Anderson School of Management Summer Discovery: This business-focused program exposes high school students to entrepreneurship and innovation. Students will work on real-world projects throughout this summer program, providing valuable hands-on experience in the business world.

These programs can provide unique opportunities for personal and academic growth while also enhancing your college application. It's essential to choose a program that aligns with your interests and helps you develop skills or knowledge in your intended field of study. Remember, it's not just about padding your résumé, but more importantly, getting involved in activities that genuinely interest you and can further your academic and personal growth.
