<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone could recommend me any good summer programs for a rising sophomore. I would be interested in one that would have a good balance between academics and fun. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Depends on what you’re interested in, no?</p>
<p>If you want options, and the ability to pursue more than one interest in academic-related courses, Taft offers a great summer program! I attended in 2010 and will be back this summer!</p>
<p>And of course, there is a lot of fun! Kids are great (lots of diversity), weekend trips, shopping, and much, much more!</p>

<p>I went on the Galapagos trip last summer for 2 weeks, it was GREAT! Hands down the best experience of my life! It may be just the balance of fun and academics (and service hours, too) that you are looking for. Good luck!</p>
