Pro tip: This is the kind of summer experience that actually looks good on college applications AND gives your kid a real feel for what college science courses are like. My own sons friend signed up for a similar program last year and came back talking about forensic labs like it was the coolest thing ever. Even the logistics are mom-friendly - morning sessions mean you can drop off and come back for lunch.
