The Clerc Center Honors Program
Summit 2006: Learn. Lead. Achieve.

Summit camp set for June 19-30, 2006

This summer, the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center’s Honors Program will host Summit 2006: Learn. Lead. Achieve. The program will run from June 19-30 and will offer both new and returning participants valuable learning experiences in the areas of higher-level academics and leadership skills.

The program is open to students from around the country currently in ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades. Students will spend two weeks participating in a wide variety of activities, including Advanced Placement (AP) preview classes (subjects offered include AP English, AP Biology, AP U.S. History, and AP Psychology), leadership discussions and simulations, a journey through deaf history, and a weekend tour of Washington, D.C. Program activities will be held at various locations of the Clerc Center, and students will be housed in the Model Secondary School for the Deaf dormitories.

“We are excited to be offering a challenging and fun leadership program again this summer for students from around the country,” said Daniel Dukes, coordinator of the Clerc Center’s Honors Program. “Our goal for the Summit program is to help each participant reach his or her full potential both academically and as a leader. It’s a great summer opportunity.”

Returning students who participated in last summer’s Summit 2005 program will also have the opportunity during the two weeks to participate in special Summit: Extreme activities, which build upon lessons and experiences from last year’s program.

Registration, cost, accommodations, transportation, and other information will be available through our website soon. Enrollment for Summit 2006 is limited to 50 students.
